About this stamp

On the Stamp

A girl in a helmet climbing a rock face on a rope, with the words “Children’s Day” in Hindi and English, on a 50 paise stamp.

Children’s Day 1986

India Post issued this 50 paise stamp on 14 November 1986, the birthday of Jawaharlal Nehru. India Post’s folder notes that India was among the few developing countries with a National Policy for Children, and the first to implement an Integrated Child Development Service Scheme. Each year’s stamp, it says, carries the message that society owes its children the best it has.
