NEW DELHI :The National Philatelic Museum, located at Patel Chowk in New Delhi, hosted a three-day event to mark the 75th anniversary of India’s Constitution. The museum, a repository of India’s postal history, has long been a symbol of the country’s rich cultural heritage. This special occasion brought together interactive exhibits and activities to honor the values enshrined in the Constitution.
Opened in 1968, the National Philatelic Museum is one of the premier institutions dedicated to the preservation of philately — the collection and study of postage stamps. The museum showcases an extensive collection of Indian stamps, some of which date back to the pre-independence era, offering a glimpse into the country’s postal history and the evolution of its democracy. Through its carefully curated exhibitions, the museum also highlights India’s global presence through postage stamps issued in recognition of key historical events and figures.
This year’s event, which runs from January 20 to 22, features an exhibition that focuses on the journey of India’s democracy, along with interactive activities such as a quiz, hands-on art projects, and a stamp safari. The museum’s aim is to engage citizens in reflecting on the principles enshrined in the Constitution, fostering a sense of unity and national pride.
The event was inaugurated by the Communication Minister, and it has attracted a large number of visitors, making the museum an increasingly popular destination for both tourists and locals. The National Philatelic Museum, open every day except Monday, continues to be a significant space for understanding India’s past, present, and future through the lens of its postal history.
