Bharat Vikas Parishad's Flag represents the hopes and
aspirations of the members of this
sanskar and service oriented organisation.
The Parishad's Flag is rectangular in
shape. The ratio of width of the flag to its
length is two to three. It is of saffron
(kesaria) colour. The
emblem or logo of the Parishad, in dark blue colour, is placed
in its centre. The size of the logo is one third of
the width of the flag.
The
significance of the bhagwa colour, which also
finds place in our National Flag, was amply
described by
Dr. S. Radhakrishnan in the Constituent Assembly which
unanimously adopted the National Flag. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan explained—“Bhagwa or the saffron
colour denotes renunciation of
disinterestedness. Our leaders must be
indifferent to material gains and dedicate
themselves to their work." Similarly,
bhagwa in Parishad's flag
inspires members of Bharat Vikas Parishad to
dedicate themselves to the the aims and
objectives of the Parishad selflessly and
devotedly.
In the
logo placed at the centre of the flag,
rising sun signifies knowledge, lotus
denotes
purity, divinity, wealth,
knowledge, and enlightenment., ripples in
water show relation of water to all plant
life on which all other life-forms depends, 'Tammso
Ma Jyotir Gamay' guide us to
move from darkness to light and the year 1963
as the birth of our organisation reminds
us of our legacy and responsibilities for the
future.
When the
Parishad adopted its flag in 2007, it was
decided that, to begin with, it will be hoisted
at functions held
at national level only.
Based on experience gained, its use for
other levels will be considered in due course.
Thus, the
first time Parishad's flag was hoisted was on
the
occasion of All India National Group Song
Competition
held at Ujjain (M.P.) in November,
2007.
However,
the 25th (Silver Jubilee) All India
National Conference of Bharat Vikas Parishad,
held at Gwalior (M.P.) on 29th and 30th
December, 2007, became the first
National Conference meeting where Parishad's Flag
was hoisted.
