As a contribution to the Har Ghar Tiranga Campaign, WayCool recreated the tricolour with a selection of grown-in-India fresh produce like carrots, radishes, green okra, beans, capsicum and value-added products such as potato flakes, and more.
“Over 20 tonne and various varieties of fresh produce were used, showcasing India’s incredible versatility and diversity of agricultural output The saffron was represented by carrots, radishes and potato flakes forming the white and the flag was given a magnificent finish of green with capsicum, beans and ladies finger (green okra),” the company said in a statement.
The fruits and vegetables used in the creation of the flag were distributed to The Akshaya Patra Foundation immediately after the event, and the company also used its storage and handling technologies to ensure that the produce used in the display was not wasted.
