On May 23, 1995, India Post issued a ₹2 stamp to honor the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), recognizing its pivotal role in the systematic growth and modernization of the nation’s capital. Established in 1957 under the Delhi Development Act, the DDA was tasked with the massive responsibility of planning, developing, and regulating the urban landscape of a rapidly expanding city. The stamp acknowledges the DDA’s efforts in creating integrated residential colonies, commercial centers, and vast green belts that serve as the "lungs" of the city. By implementing successive Master Plans, the authority sought to balance the housing needs of a booming population with the preservation of Delhi's historical heritage and environmental health. From the development of sports complexes to the construction of flyovers and expansive parks like the Garden of Five Senses, the DDA has been central to transforming Delhi into a global metropolis. This commemorative issue pays tribute to the engineers, architects, and urban planners who have worked to build an organized and functional capital. For those interested in urban history and infrastructure, this stamp represents the complex journey of city-building in post-independence India and the ongoing challenge of creating sustainable living spaces for millions of citizens.

On May 17, 1995, India Post issued a ₹5 stamp to commemorate the Centenary of Radio Communication, marking 100 years since the pioneering experiments of 1895 that fundamentally changed how the world shares information. The issue celebrates the shift from wired telegraphy to wireless waves, a breakthrough that effectively dissolved geographical barriers. The stamp honors the global scientific heritage of radio, referencing the early breakthroughs of inventors like Guglielmo Marconi and India’s own Jagadish Chandra Bose, who demonstrated wireless signaling in Kolkata during the same era. From its early use in maritime safety—famously during the Titanic era—to the birth of public broadcasting and modern satellite links, radio has been a lifeline for education, entertainment, and emergency services. This commemorative issue recognizes radio not just as a technology, but as a social force that unified nations and provided a voice to the voiceless. For collectors, it represents the invisible threads of electromagnetic waves that laid the groundwork for the digital connectivity we rely on today.
