Message from the Desk of Secretary, Department of Posts, Government of India
It is indeed a matter of great pride for India Post to host another World Philatelic Exhibition “INDIPEX 2011”. The Exhibition, is being held at the prestigious Pragati Maidan Exhibition Complex, in New Delhi, India, from 12th to 18th February, 2011.
India Post has always taken an active interest in promoting philately. From organizing a plethora of philatelic events across the country, to issue of aesthetically designed stamps that reflect our rich diversity of culture and heritage and highlight issues of concern to humankind, India Post has been consistently working to popularize this wonderful hobby.
Through INDIPEX 2011, we hope to showcase the best of philatelic collections from around the world, and also provide a meeting ground for philatelic enthusiasts and converts. There will be focus on aerophilately as we celebrate the centenary of the first airmail flight, which took place in India on 18th February, 1911.
We take this opportunity to invite all collectors, philately publishers and journalists, dealers, stamp designers and printers, and postal administrations to join in this celebration of philately.
We are proud to have the patronage of the Federation Internationale de Philatelie for this event, and the auspices of the Federation of Inter-Asian Philately. I also take this opportunity to thank the Philatelic Congress of India for their support and co-operation.
We look forward to your participation and I welcome you to INDIPEX 2011.
