Kāśī Vidyāpīṭh, 1971 - Stamp, First Day Cover


Babu Shiv Prasad Gupta and Dr Bhagavan Das were the great souls who established the Kāśī Vidyāpīṭh in the year 1921. It was renamed as Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapith in 1995. 

The first logo contained a map of India with AUM and the famous quotation from the Īsāvāsya-Upaniṣad. The second revised one is given below.


विद्ययामृतमश्नुते
vidyayā amṛtamaśnute
"Through knowledge immortality is attained."


The FDC shows the emblem but with poor visibility.

The Stamp, FDC and the brochure were issued on the occasion of the golden jubilee celebrations, on the 10th February, 1971.
