Purna Swaraj Flag (1931-1947) was formulated by the members of the Congress Working Committee chaired by Sardar Ballavbhai Patel in accordance with the inputs from Jawaharlal Nehru in Bombay in August 1931. Earlier, the ‘Flag Committee – 1931’ headed by Dr Pattabhi Sitaramiyyaa failed miserably to recommend/find a suitable flag design. Note: Pingali Venkayyaa was not even invited / included in the ‘Flag Committee-1931’ for deliberation, nor he was a member of the Congress Working Committee, (probably by then; Pingali Venkayyaa had withdrawn himself from the mainstream politics). The design of the Purna Swaraj Flag was transferred to Khadi bunting by another Congress volunteer Dr. N. S. Hardikar.

In 1921 at Gandhi’s suggestion the spinning wheel found place on the Swaraj-flag. To Gandhi, spinning was a sacrament. He felt that every time he drew a thread on the wheel, he was coming nearer to the poorest of the poor and through them to God.
