About this stamp

On the Stamp

A family under the outline of a house roof, printed in cerise, before a green landscape and tree, with the words “Small Family Happy Family” in Hindi and English, on a ₹1 stamp.

Family Welfare, 1 Rupee

This ₹1 definitive stamp was issued on 11 July 1994, the same day as a 75 paise stamp with the same slogan. In 1952 India became the first country in the developing world to start a state-sponsored family planning programme, and this stamp carries the slogan of that effort.
