Dipok Dey: first Indian to design a UN Stamp Design


This philatelic material holds a significant place in the history of Indian philately. Designed by Shri Dipok Dey, a renowned artist, philatelist, and journalist based in Kolkata, it marks the first time an Indian created a United Nations stamp. This stamp on Child Survival was issued on 22 November 1985 in the 33-cent denomination.

We at the Sikkim Philatelic Society have been honoured to receive his support since 2002. Wishing you good health, dear sir.
