Spell Check

 
Actual Stamp
In the Madhav Institute of Science & Technology, Gwalior, issued on June 30, 2008 the Hindi spelling of the ‘Technology’ is incorrect. The Hindi word for 'Technology' is 'Praudhyogiki' and uses a letter, 'dhya' in its spelling. The stamp incorrectly mentions it as 'Praudhogiki'. It has letter 'dha' in place of 'dhya'. It is an irony that India Post cannot spell this word correctly as the Ministry under which it functions is Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, having 'Technology' in its name itself!

Interestingly the image on the brochure shows the name spelt out correctly.
