The Tractor
On Republic Day, 26 January 1955, India issued a new series of eighteen definitive stamps, from 3 pies to 10 rupees, on the theme of the First Five Year Plan: the farms, dams, crafts, industries and landscapes of the new republic. They were printed by photogravure at the Security Printing Press, Nashik, on paper watermarked with stars. The 3 pies stamp, the lowest value, shows a tractor at work, a sign of the mechanised farming the Plan hoped to bring to Indian fields.
