THE PCI PHILATELIC TRUST
Financial Grant 2024-25
The PCI Philatelic Trust is committed to supporting initiatives that align with its objectives.As part of this initiative, We had announced our grant scheme for 2024-25 in September 2024 and received encouraging response. We are pleased to announce that a grant Rs. 40,000 has been awarded to Mr. Aranya Dutta Choudhury for his upcoming book on The Non-Postal Stamps & Stamp Papers of North-Eastern India.
We aim to mobilize additional resources and increase the grant amount in FY 2025-26 to further support philatelic research and scholarship projects.
About his Book
This book delves into the fascinating world of non-postal stamps and stamp papers from the princely states and provinces of Northeastern India, including Manipur, Tripura, Sikkim, and Assam. It explores their historical and administrative significance, detailing their role in governance, legal transactions, and the evolution of fiscal instruments. With a focus on rare varieties, official records, and archival research, this work aims to serve as a valuable resource for philatelists, historians, and collectors, shedding light on a lesser-explored aspect of Indian philately.
