STAMPMANIA 2009….
Indian Philately pays its glorious tribute to the Indian history, culture, traditions, heritage, great Patriots and other people who have been the architects of modern India and Indian stamps are most beautiful and educative miniatures which plays pivoted role in helping people understand the heritage and culture of our country. Keeping this thought in mind, we have decided to organize a ‘Heritage Walk through Stamps’ as a part of Stampmania 2009 on 17th December 2009. Philatelists, School Children and local citizens will walk through the city holding Stamp blow-ups and magnified versions of the originals of Stamps on Indian Heritage. The objective is to motivate the people and especially school children to adopt the hobby of Philately and enable them to experience the culture and heritage of the Country.
