As has been the practice in the past, India celebrated Children's Day in 1971 on 14th November, which is also the birthday of the late Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who was known to the children all over the country as'Chacha Nehru'.
The stamp which is being brought out this year shows a Nehru Gold Medal winning entry by Miss Geeta Gupta in a recent "on the spot" painting competition for children sponsored by Shankar's Weekly. The stamp depicts Women at Work.
The design adopted on the First Day Cover , which is being issued on the occasion, is based on a prize winning entry submitted by Miss Vidooshi Sharma in the Shankar's International Children's Competition held in 1969.
