More than twenty collectors took part in the Nepal Philatelic Society’s “How to Build Postal History Exhibits” training programme at Square Hotel in Lalitpur on 1 November 2026. Senior philatelist Binod Krishna Shrestha led the session, using three of his medal-winning exhibits to explain research, subject boundaries and presentation.

The examples examined registered labels and markings, inland postal rates from 1951 to 1992, and Nepal’s postal routes. They showed how labels, cancellations, dispatch and arrival dates, office names and historical postal items can support a documented account.

Shrestha emphasised relevant material, logical organisation, accurate descriptions and references to credible publications. He encouraged participants to use judges’ scores and comments to identify weaknesses before future competitions.

The programme ended with certificates. Society president Chandra Rabi Shrestha thanked the trainer and described the initiative as part of the society’s effort to help experienced collectors prepare for international exhibitions while introducing newcomers to exhibiting standards.
