In alignment with the national-level ‘UN@80’ celebrations, the Department of Posts, Ministry of Communications, Govt. of India, in collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs, organized a Stamp Designing Competition.

The competition provided a platform for students to engage with global issues and India’s role on the world stage.

The central theme for the stamp design competition was designated as “UN@80 and India’s leadership in building our future through multilingualism, global leadership and stewardship.” This theme encouraged participants to reflect on the UN39 enduring legacy and India’s pivotal contributions, particularly in promoting multilateralism, cultural diversity, and responsible global governance. The students designs were expected to visually interpret these complex concepts, celebrating both Indian cultural heritage and the shared ideals of the United Nations.

They were encouraged to use a variety of artistic mediums to bring their ideas to life, including crayons, pencil colours, water colours, and acrylic colours.
