Commemorative Postage Stamp on 'Saint Teresa'

By
Mumbai: The Department of Posts will release a commemorative stamp in the city to mark Mother Teresa's canonisation in the Vatican on September 4.
"SAINT TERESA"

Mother Teresa will be declared a saint on Sunday.

Hon’ble Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Communications and Minister of State for Railways Shri Manoj Sinha will release the stamp at a function organised at Divine Child High School auditorium, Near J.  B. Nagar, Metro Station, Andhere (East), Mumbai 400059, which would be attended by the Chief Post Master General of Maharashtra and Goa circle, a senior India Post official said.

He said issuing of the stamp is a gesture of respect and gratitude for the Nobel laureate nun for her exemplary humanitarian service towards the mankind.

A commemorative stamp is a postage stamp, often issued on a significant date, such as an anniversary, to honour or commemorates a place, event, person or object.

"The decision to release a commemorative stamp on the canonisation for Mother Teresa has been taken by the advisory committee of Philately. September 4 is going to be a special day for India too, the day several other countries are also honouring the great lady," the official said, adding India has been the karmabhoomi of Mother Teresa.

The Vatican had earlier chosen Mumbai-based graphic designer Karen Vaswanis logo as the official emblem for the canonisation ceremony.

Vaswanis design depicts the classic pose of Mother Teresa looking affectionately at a child whom she holds in her arms.

GRANT OF TA & TRANSIT (TA & TP) TO OFFICIALS TRANSFERRED ON COMPLETION OF TENURE TO THE PLACE OF THEIR CHOICE . A proposal on grant TA and transit to officials who are transferred on completion of tenure to the place of their choice was under consideration in this Directorate for sometime past.      SR-114 governs TA on transfer distinguishes between transfer for public convenience and transfer on own request.  Although transfer on completion of tenure in one office has not been specifically referred to in this rule, yet the transfer on completion of tenure is a transfer for public convenience.  On completion of tenure, the official has to be transferred out for operational reasons.  Therefore, such a transfer is mandatory, while posting to a place of choice is secondary and subject to public convenience.  In view of this posting to a place of choice after completion of full tenure may not be normally termed as a "transfer on own request" under SR-114.      It
