Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru

Explanation:

It was Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who proposed that the National Flag of India should be a horizontal tricolour of saffron, white, and dark green in equal proportion, with a navy-blue wheel (Ashoka Chakra) at the centre. This design was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 22 July 1947, symbolizing courage and sacrifice (saffron), peace and truth (white), and faith and chivalry (green), with the Chakra representing progress and righteousness.
