I am Niket Bubna from Indore and I am writing for the first time. I came across your blog recently and find it updated and interesting.

Madhav Institute of Science & Technology Stamp

The latest India Post stamp issue, Madhav Institute of Science & Technology, Gwalior carries a spelling error in the Hindi alphabets. The Hindi word for 'Technology' is 'Praudyogiki'. It uses a letter, 'dya' in its spelling. The stamp on the contrary mentions it as 'Praudhogiki', making no meaning out of it. It has replaced 'dya' with 'dha'. Such blunders are an insult to the department, which cannot even take care of spelling mistakes in postage stamps, referred to as the message carriers of the nation. The Ministry under which the Department of Posts functions is Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, having 'Technology' in its name itself!The stamp should be withdrawn and the error rectified.
