Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu, also known as Mother Teresa, was an Albanian-Indian Catholic nun who established the Missionaries of Charity, an organization dedicated to providing care and support for the sick and impoverished.

Her tireless devotion to humanitarian work earned her the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. This prestigious recognition was a testament to her lifelong commitment to alleviating suffering and promoting peace.

In a touching tribute to her profound impact, India Post issued a commemorative postage stamp to honor her remarkable legacy of selfless service and boundless compassion.
