The campaign will run from August 13 to 15, as India commemorates its 77th anniversary of independence. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had invited everyone to join the campaign ahead of the big Independence Day festivities. The Prime Minister invited people on social media to change the display picture of their social media handles to the national flag as part of a "unique effort" ahead of the momentous day.

Har Ghar Tiranga's website says that the government has received 43,644,013 (4.3 million) selfies with the Tricolour. The website's home page has been modified to include a selfie upload feature. When a user visits the portal, he or she has two choices: post a selfie with the flag or digital Tiranga.
