President Mrs Pratibha Patil on Thursday released a commemorative stamp to celebrate the golden jubilee of India International Centre (IIC) at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. The centre completed 60 years on January 22.

The India International Centre (IIC) is a well known non-official organization situated in New Delhi. It was founded in 1958, and inaugurated in 1968. It is a unique establishment in that it serves as a meeting place for the various cultural and intellectual offerings the city has to offer, while maintaining its non-official character, non-aligned motivations and remains uncommitted to any particular form of governmental, political, economic or religious affiliation.
