Our national flag is horizontally divided into three equal strips of three different colours i.e. at the top, in the middle and at the bottom. In Indian tradition each of these colours has its own significance. The saffron colour symbolizes courage and sacrifice. The white colour is the symbol of peace, truth and non-violence. The green colour at the bottom symbolizes prosperity. The green colour inspires us to work hard and utilize our natural resources fully to remove poverty and unemployment.
