Flag Hoisting Protocol for School Principals in NCR
Flag hoisting is the most symbolic and revered part of any Independence Day or Republic Day celebration. In schools across Delhi NCR, this ceremonial moment is usually led by the Principal—a role that carries great responsibility and pride.
At Party Events, we not only help schools manage their celebrations but also ensure the flag hoisting ceremony is executed with dignity, respect, and national pride. Here’s a step-by-step guide for school principals to follow.
🎯 Flag Hoisting Ceremony: Step-by-Step Protocol
1. Arrival & Assembly
- Ensure all students, teachers, and guests are assembled at least 15 minutes before the ceremony.
- Maintain decorum, discipline, and dress code during assembly.
2. Welcoming the Principal or Chief Guest
- If a chief guest is invited, the Principal should accompany them to the flag post.
- The school band or a welcome group can lead them to the hoisting point.
3. National Flag Protocol
- Ensure the Indian National Flag is in good condition, of correct proportions (3:2), and made from khadi or polyester.
- The flag should be neatly tied and folded before hoisting.
- A flower shower pouch can be attached inside the flag if desired.
4. The Hoisting Moment
- As the Principal begins hoisting the flag, students should stand in attention.
- Once unfurled, immediately begin playing or singing the National Anthem (Jana Gana Mana).
- Salute the flag during the anthem—students stand at attention, NCC cadets may do a proper salute.
5. Post-Anthem Proceedings
- Principal delivers a brief patriotic speech or address to inspire students.
- Follow this with cultural programs, such as patriotic songs, skits, or dances.
