Stamps are considered the “windows of a nation” through which people can see and understand the “heritage and nature” of a particular country. The stamp collecting today is far from just a hobby. It is a subject of deep study. The stamps produced by these countries may exceed their postal needs, but may also feature attractive topical designs that many collectors desire. It is said that John Bourke, Receiver General of Stamp Dues in Ireland was the first collector. In 1774 he assembled a book of the existing embossed revenue stamps, ranging in value from 6 pounds to half a penny. Stamp collection as a hobby began immediately after stamps were first issued, and by 1860 thousands of collectors and stamp dealers were appearing around the world as this new study and hobby spread across Europe, European colonies, the United States and other parts of the world.

Philately is not just a hobby rather an initiative. To the culture, heritage, custom and traditions one needs to go through the postage stamps of various countries. Postage stamps reflect the essence of the nation. Hence it is undoubtedly a good habit. But in today's fast growing computer world, the craze of stamp is very less. But we all should take initiative to use postage stamp.

डाक टिकटों, पुराने सिक्कों, प्राचीन अवशेषों, तथा विभिन्न प्रकार के वस्तुओं को संग्रह करना एक बहुत अच्छी आदत है। हमें युवा पीढ़ी तथा विशेषता बच्चों का ध्यान इस ओर आकर्षित करना चाहिए जिससे उनकी शोध और खोजबीन करने की प्रवृत्ति में विस्तार हो उनका बौद्धिक विकास हो। यह सब आदते बच्चों का चहुमुखी विकास करने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाते हैं। यह आदते न केवल उनकी जिज्ञासा में वृद्धिद्धि करती हैं बल्कि इतिहास समाज तथा संस्कृति के प्रति उनकी जानकारी और दृष्टिकोण को और अधिक प्रखर करती हैं।
