A very little is known or read about
the first Philatelic Competition that was held for three days at Gangtok
during November 2-4, 1982. A handful of these covers is available with
Mr. Ganesh Pradhan, Rhenock who gave a first hand information that he
had witnessed the competition. Interestingly, i am happy to write that I
had come across a certificate of Late Ganga Kaptan, Sikkim's first
Nepali Novelist who had taken part at that competition.
I here want to share an anecdote
that happened during the second Philatelic Exhibition that was held at
Gangtok in 2002, exactly after twenty years. I was one of the 40
participants who took part in the exhibition and my first foray into the
world of philately.
