About this stamp

On the Stamp

White outlines of a family of four within a large inverted triangle, printed in vermilion, on a 35 paise stamp.

Family Planning

This 35 paise definitive stamp was issued on 27 February 1987, in the series on family planning, energy conservation and technology. Its design is built around the inverted red triangle, the symbol of family planning services in India. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp itself.
