Exhibition On The Indian National Flag: "FLAGS - Short hand of history"

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.
