Jalandhar, November 18

The Department of Posts, Ministry of Communications, GoI, Punjab Circle, released Lovely Professional University Postal Stamp and a special cover today at Jalandhar.

Postmaster General, Punjab West Region, PM Lal released the LPU stamp of Rs 5 and a special cover of LPU also.

Senior Superintendent of the Post Offices (SSPO), Jalandhar, Mohammad Hanif, accompanied him. The stamp has logo of the university and a multi- coloured rainbow and butterfly images with lively message of greetings printed on it. This unique honour is presumably achieved by only a few other organisations in the country.

Since customised printing of stamps opened up in 2016 for institutes, the LPU has become the first university to achieve this milestone. The department has also issued customised stamp for e-commerce platforms like Amazon India and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.

Addressing the gathering, Lal said, “The university has been rendering good services in the education sector. As stamps play a vital role in providing us immense knowledge about various important occasions, persons, sports, etc., I intend to possibly have a state-level philatelic exhibition on the LPU premises for thousands of students so that they may understand the real value of postage stamps in our life.”

Lal handed over the first set of LPU stamps and special covers to LPU Pro-Chancellor Rashmi Mittal.
