‘109 philatelists registered for display of their collection on various themes and four special covers will be released during the three-day expo’
The State-level AP Philatelic Exhibition (APPEX)-2022 will be held at Parvathi Kalyana Mandapam (Subbalakshmi Kalyana Mandapam) at Railway New Colony here from November 23 to 25.
A huge response has been received from philatelists with the participation of 109 philatelists registering for display of their collection on various themes. There will be total of 5,700 exhibits in 337 frames. Each philatelist is allowed to display a maximum of five frames at the expo, Postmaster General (Visakhapatnam Region) D.S.V.R. Murthy told the media here on Monday.
Four special covers, one each on the Skill Development Institute of HPCL, RINL-Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP), NSTL and on ‘augmented reality’ on APPEX-2022 would be released at the expo. He said that philately plays a vital role in propagating knowledge on various subjects through stamps.
The PMG underlined the need to nurture interest in stamp collection among children from a young age. Competitions for schoolchildren were being organised as part of the expo and children from 1,800 schools have registered their names.
The expo would be an interesting event for stamp lovers and philatelists besides educating children and the general public about stamps to know culture, heritage, history and sacrifices of our freedom fighters.
The previous exhibitions in A.P. Circle (combined AP Circle) were held in Visakhapatnam in 2008 and in Vijayawada in 2014.
