Family Planning
This stamp belongs to the definitive series of 1965 to 1975, India’s everyday stamps of the time, each showing a scene from Indian life, industry, nature or heritage. This value was issued on 16 October 1967. India began a national family planning programme in 1952, one of the first in the world, and in the 1960s it was spread through slogans and symbols such as the family of four on this stamp. The same 5 paise stamp was later overprinted “Refugee Relief” in 1971.
