About this stamp

On the Stamp

The heads of a father, mother and daughter, printed in brown, with the words “Small Family Happy Family” in Hindi and English in red, on a 75 paise stamp.

Family Welfare, 75 Paise

This 75 paise definitive stamp was issued on 11 July 1994, the same day as a ₹1 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.
