About this stamp

On the Stamp

The arcades and clock tower of Government Mohindra College, printed in rose, with its name in Hindi and English, on a ₹1 stamp.

Government Mohindra College

India Post issued this ₹1 stamp on 14 March 1988. The college owes its existence to Maharaja Mohinder Singh of Patiala, who came to the throne at the age of ten. Lord Northbrook laid the foundation stone on 30 March 1875, with both a Hindu and a European ceremony, and Lord Ripon opened it on 17 March 1884. At the time it was the only institution of its kind between Lahore and Delhi, and education there was free.
