Bangalore: That the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has left its stamp of excellence in science need not be emphasised. So it was appropriate that the Department of Posts marked the institute’s centenary year on Sunday by bringing out two commemorative postal stamps here. The stamps were released by Vice-President Mohammed Hamid Ansari, who also delivered the golden jubilee lecture.
While one stamp captured the frontage of the IISc building, the other comprised a collage of various scientists and academics from the pages of its history. From founder Jamsetji N. Tata to its former Director CV Raman, the stamp carries the visage of several IISc luminaries.
