About this stamp

On the Stamp

A white line drawing of a mother cradling her newborn baby, on a deep blue ground, with the words “Newborn Health in India” in English and Hindi.

Newborn Health in India

India Post issued this ₹5 stamp on 24 November 2005 on the health of newborn babies in India. It was designed by Sankha Samanta and printed by photogravure at the Security Printing Press, Nashik. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online and Wikipedia has no page on it, so this text keeps to the stamp and the catalogues.
