About this stamp

On the Stamp

A Slovenian child’s painting, by Sara Živković, of children dancing on a stage before an audience, on the ₹5 stamp.

India–Slovenia Joint Issue

India Post issued two stamps, ₹5 and ₹25, and a ₹30 miniature sheet on 28 November 2014 with Slovenia Post, both based on children’s paintings. India recognised Slovenia, which became independent of Yugoslavia in 1991, on 11 May 1992, and the two countries cooperate in trade, science, education and culture. India Post’s stamp design contest on the theme “A Day with my Grandparents” drew thousands of entries; the first prize, by Roshan V. Anvekar, became the ₹25 stamp. Slovenia’s design is the winning painting by Sara Živković from Shankar’s International Children’s Competition. The stamps were designed by Kamleshwar Singh; Security Printing Press, Hyderabad printed 0.6 million of each and 0.3 million sheets.
