The Indian Posts and Telegraphs Department has been issuing special postage stamps annually on November 14 since 1957 to raise awareness about Child Welfare. Each year, these stamps reflect the theme advocated by the International Union of Child Welfare, Geneva. The theme for this year’s Children’s Day Stamp aligns with the message from the International Union for Child Welfare: “the rights of every child; the responsibility of every adult and community.”
The design of this year’s stamp symbolically represents this theme, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the rights of every child and the duty of every adult and community to uphold them. It underscores the idea that today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders and emphasizes the collective responsibility to provide them with opportunities to grow into responsible citizens who can contribute to the nation’s progress.
By issuing this stamp, the Posts and Telegraphs Department aims to contribute to the promotion of Child Welfare and to participate in the celebrations surrounding Children’s Day. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing commitment to safeguarding the rights and well-being of children, ensuring a brighter future for generations to come.
