About this stamp
Fifty Years of PGIMER
India Post issued this ₹5 stamp on 7 January 2013 for the golden jubilee of the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh. Founded in 1962 under the old state of Punjab by Tulsi Das, Santokh Singh Anand, Pran Nath Chuttani, B. N. Aikat, Sant Ram Dhall and Bala Krishna, it was later declared an Institute of National Importance.
PGIMER is the leading referral hospital of northern India, serving patients from Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand and beyond, and trains doctors in almost every specialty and super-specialty, with more than fifty postgraduate and postdoctoral courses.
India Post has no brochure for this issue online, so this text draws on Wikipedia.
