None has extolled the power of the Flag to unify diverse population of India, more powerfully than Mahatma Gandhi. Similarly, none had spent more time and written more in designing the Flag, than Gandhiji during heydays of Freedom Movement of India. Our National Flag today is deeply influenced by the inputs that Gandhiji had meticulously provided, during the pre-independent Days.

Hence, it is small wonder that Gandhigram Rural Institute, having been founded on the principles of Gandhiji, pays rich tribute to our National Flag by ceremonially and solemnly hoisting it at 8.00 AM every day at the historic Bell Maidan, thereby aspiring to instill patriotic sprit in all the stakeholders of the Institute, and as a mark of respect for all the freedom fighters, who fought for us to enjoy the right to hoist and salute, our own National Flag.

Indeed, the morning ceremonial activities of the Institute starts with solemn hoisting of the National Flag of our great Nation, in strict accordance with the procedures spelled out by the Government of India, followed by Morning Prayer at 9.20 AM, before commencement of regular academic activities at 9.30 AM.
