'Philately' is the collection and study of postage stamps. The first India Postage Stamps was issued in 1854, which bore the inscription 'India Postage' and in 1962, a new caption 'भारत India' was introduced. Postage stamp, which begun as a piece of paper in token of receipt of postage, has assumed additional functions. It is a mode of commemorating, celebrating and promoting national heritage and events. It plays a great role as an ambassador, a brand image of Postal administration and a statement of sovereignty of a nation. Philately is a delightful hobby that sharpens and satisfies one's aesthetic tastes. Amidst Covid-19, this special cover is released to mark the Philately Day 2020.
