About this stamp

C. Achutha Menon

India Post issued this ₹5 stamp on 13 January 2013, his birth centenary, for Chelat Achutha Menon (1913–1991), Chief Minister of Kerala from 1969 to 1970 and again from 1970 to 1977, and one of the state’s most influential Chief Ministers. Born at Puthukkad in Thrissur district on 13 January 1913, he studied on merit scholarships throughout and stood first in the SSLC examination of the state of Kochi. A lawyer, he became a leader of the Communist Party of India.
