About this stamp
On the Stamp
A family of four faces beside a hut, two stylised flowers and an inverted triangle, printed in orange vermilion, on a 75 paise stamp.
Family Welfare
India Post issued this 75 paise definitive stamp on 20 November 1990. 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, and definitive stamps carried its message into everyday post. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp itself.
