The exhibition titled "FLAGS
- Short hand of history" was a grand success. There were many
visitors thronged the gallery almost all day long. On popular demand the
closing date of the exhibition was extended up to 24th August. Local news
papers and TV channels also covered the events. Many visitors mentioned that
this type of exhibition should be taken to all other cities of India so that
general people may get the opportunity to know the history of the National Flag
more intimately.
