Children's Day is celebrated throughout the country withgre at enthusiasm and has helped to focus attention on the problems of child welfare.

The Indian Posts & Telegraphs Department has been issuing special postage stamps on Children's Day on November 14. In 1970 as well as last year stamps were brought out depicting children's paintings as their motifs. This time we have not only depicted the child's painting but the entire designing of the stamp and first day cover has been done by the children.

The stamp design by Rajesh Bhatia depicts 'a cat'. Tulu Verma has done the First Day Cover design which shows 'a lion'. Both the child artists are from New Delhi.
