SSC Selection Post 2019 PYQ — Question 29

The correct answer is Option 4  i.e. Pingali Venkayya.

 

The current tricolour flag of India was primarily designed by Pingali Venkayya. In 1921, he presented his design to Mahatma Gandhi, which initially featured red and green stripes representing Hindus and Muslims. On Gandhi's suggestion, a white stripe was added to symbolize other communities and peace.While Venkayya's design formed the basis, the flag underwent further modifications. In 1931, the Indian National Congress officially adopted a similar flag with saffron replacing red and the spinning wheel (Charkha) in the center. Finally, on July 22, 1947, the Constituent Assembly adopted the current design, replacing the Charkha with the Ashoka Chakra.
