About this stamp
On the Stamp
A smiling family of four in green, with a red inverted triangle and the words “A Small Family is a Happy Family” in Hindi and English, on a 60 paise stamp.
Family Planning
This 60 paise definitive stamp was issued on 27 February 1987, in the series on family planning, energy conservation and technology. The inverted red triangle is the symbol of family planning in India. In 1952 India became the first country in the developing world to create a state-sponsored family planning programme. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp itself.
