About this stamp

On the Stamp

A child’s painting of fishermen with their boats and nets under the moon, by B. Karthik.

Children’s Day 2007

India Post issued two ₹5 stamps and a ₹10 miniature sheet for Children’s Day, 14 November 2007, the birthday of Jawaharlal Nehru. As every year, the stamps are paintings by children, chosen in an all-India stamp design competition. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on India Post’s list and on the stamps themselves.
