National plans in an integrated regional whole. The framework of the Plan when approved by the Asian advisory committee at Singapore in 1966 was hailed as “dynamic and positive concept”. The International Labour Organisation is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and it is a happy coincidence that the celebrations fall in the Gandhi Centenary Year. Gandhiji’s views on Social justice, equality of apportunities and dignity of labour and the sanctity of human rights are well known. The Posts and Telegraphs department is happy to bring out a special postage stamp to commemorate the 50th anniversary of this great world organisation whos activities are of great significance to India and other Asian countries.
