The Philatelic Society of India is an organization dedicated to the promotion and study of philately, which is the collection and appreciation of postage stamps and related materials. Founded in 1950, it serves as a platform for stamp collectors and enthusiasts to share knowledge, organize exhibitions, and publish research on various aspects of philately. The society also plays a crucial role in preserving the history and culture associated with stamps, including those from India. It encourages new collectors through workshops and events, fostering a community that values the art and history of stamp collecting.
