The institution is known for producing the best doctors and nursing staff, not only in peacetime but also during times of war.The Monumental Flag dedication ceremony was attended by distinguished guests, including Lt Gen.

The Pledge says- I take a pledge that I will dedicate myself to the nation and work for the good of my country," he added."When we stand below the flag, we must recognize our responsibilities as citizens to make this nation great. Tiranga also reminds us that nothing is more paramount than the country and the flag", Jindal further added.Speaking on the occasion, Rajya Sabha MP and former AFMC Director, Lt Gen. (Retd) Dr DP Vats said, "I appreciate the outstanding work being carried out by FFOI under the guidance of Mr Naveen Jindal to install Monumental Flags across the country. I would like to see the chapters about the journey of Tiranga in school textbooks so that the next generations must know the significance of the Indian National Flag".The Flag Foundation of India was set up as a registered society under the societies registration act of 1980, a non-profit body after Mr Naveen Jindal won a decade-long court battle that enabled all Indians to display our National Flag with honour and pride at their homes, offices and factories on all days of the year.On January 23, 2004, after a decade-long legal battle fought by Chairman of Jindal Steel and Power, Naveen Jindal (Industrialist, sportsman and Member of Parliament), the Supreme Court of India ruled that the display of the national flag by every citizen on all days of the year, a fundamental right. Thereafter, he founded the Flag Foundation of India, a non-governmental institution.The Tricolour is a common factor of inspiration for every Indian; it is indeed a true expression of pride for our motherland. To take this victory beyond pure symbolism and translate it into action, the Flag Foundation of India is undertaking various projects motivating the people of our country to draw inspiration from the National Flag and work for the betterment of the nation.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
