About this stamp

Council of Scientific and Industrial Research

India Post issued this ₹1 stamp on 28 February 1993 for the golden jubilee of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, set up as an autonomous body in 1942 with Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar as a driving force. It is headquartered in New Delhi and is among the largest publicly funded research organisations in the world. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp itself.
