About this stamp

On the Stamp

A painting of dancers and a drummer among flowers, with the words “UNICEF in India 1949-1974” in Hindi and English, on a 25 paise stamp.

UNICEF in India

India Post issued this stamp on 14 November 1974 for 25 years of UNICEF’s work in India, which began in 1949. UNICEF equipped most of India’s primary health centres, helped train nurses and midwives, supplied dairy plants and drilling rigs, and supported science teaching in schools. The stamp reproduces a painting of Indian dancers by Amita Shah. This text draws on India Post’s folder for the issue.
