The national flag of every country is a symbol of the pride of the country concerned. The same is true of our national flag tricolor, but few people know that it was designed by a man named Pingali Venkayya. He was born on August 2 in 1876. At the young age of 19, Pingali Venkayya joined the British Army and participated in the Anglo-Boer War in Africa. There he met Mahatma Gandhi. After passing high school from Machilipatnam, he moved to Colombo.

After returning to India, he worked as a railway guard and then as a government employee in Bellary. He later moved to Lahore to study Urdu and Japanese at Anglo Vedic College. He had a good knowledge of a variety of languages, including Urdu and Japanese. He was a doctor in geology. He also mastered diamond mining. That's why he was named Diamond Venkayya. From 1906 to 1911, he was busy studying compared to various varieties of the cotton crop. He also conducted a study on Bomvolart Cambodia Cotton. He was then named Patti Venkayya.

In 1921, Pingali put forward saffron and green flags. After which Lala Hansraj of Jalandhar added charkha to it and Gandhi Ji advised to add a white belt. Pingali died on July 4, 1963. The Indian National Flag was adopted during the meeting of the Constituent Assembly of India held on July 22, 1947, in its present form, just days before India's independence from the British on August 15, 1947. It was adopted as the National Flag of India between 15 August 1947 and 26 January 1950.
