About this stamp

The year 1980 represents a significant milestone in the history of postal service in India as it celebrates its 100th anniversary. Additionally, it marks the 125th anniversary of the first Indian postage stamp. To commemorate these landmark occasions, the Indian P & T Department, in collaboration with the Philatelic Congress of India, is organizing “INDIA-80,” an international Stamp Exhibition in New Delhi.

Scheduled to take place from January 25th to February 3rd, 1980, “INDIA-80” will be the first International Stamp Exhibition held in Asia under the patronage of the Federation Internationale de Philatelie. This exhibition will serve as a fitting culmination to the celebrations surrounding these epoch-making events in the history of Indian postal service.
