Children’s Day 2004
India Post issued this ₹5 stamp for Children’s Day, 14 November 2004. Children’s Day is kept in India on 14 November, the birthday of Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister, who was known for his fondness for children, to raise awareness of children’s rights, education and welfare. The stamp reproduces a child’s painting; Colnect gives the artist as S. Vindhya. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamps themselves.
