Quotes
“This is a significant moment for the partnership between India and UNICEF. For 75 years, we have worked together to reach every child – wherever they live, whatever their background – with quality services and systems enabling improved health, learning and opportunity. UNICEF is proud to mark that this is the fifth commemorative postage stamp being released in partnership with the Ministry of Communications, having marked several over the past 64 years,” said Cynthia McCaffrey, Representative UNICEF India.
BRAVO India...as a philatelist I am pleased that some countries are still issuing postage stamps to commemorate UNICEF. In this regard India has been much more active than others. Previously it was common among all countries, but has dwindled considerably in recent times. Hopefully this may encourage other nations to follow suit.
