The Flag day is mainly observed to serve three basic purposes:
The Armed Forces Flag Day commemoration and the collection of funds through distribution of flags has been an honoured tradition and is organised every with much pride nationally. It stands as a representation for the community to express its gratitude and appreciation to the brave soldier of India. It is a day to acknowledge the supreme sacrifice of the martyrs, as well as the service of both veterans and the serving armed forces personnel.
On the Flag Day all three formations of the armed forces, the Indian Army, the Indian Air Force and the Indian Navy, through their units arrange a variety of shows, carnivals, dramas and other entertainment programmes to showcase the heroic efforts of their personnel to the general public while ensuring national security. From schools, to colleges, from corporate community to general public, token flags and car flags in red, deep blue and light blue colours representing the three Services are distributed in return for donations.

Pertinent Questions
Is there an audit of Funds to ensure that truly the funds are utilised for welfare purposes intended? Or is it a farce? What are the indicators that these welfare measures have benefited the the large community of ESM? Or are they only schemes drawn up on paper, bureaucratic style, to hoodwink the Public? Who is accountable? The Armed Forces who are mostly responsible for collection of funds, should they not be made accountable?
