About this stamp
On the Stamp
Three panels in green, red and blue, drawn with figures of farming, a mother and child and a child at study, under the UN’s fiftieth-anniversary emblem, with the words “50 Years of the United Nations” in Hindi and English, on a ₹6 stamp.
The Work of the UN Agencies
India Post issued two stamps on 26 June 1995 for the fiftieth anniversary of the United Nations, ₹1 and ₹6. This one shows the everyday work of the UN’s agencies: food, health and education. The United Nations came into existence on 24 October 1945, when its Charter was ratified by the five permanent members of the Security Council and a majority of the other signatories, India among the founding members. Its companion stamp shows a handshake. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp itself.
