New Symbol for Indian Rupee

by 124 Comments

UPDATE : New symbol has been chosen and you can read more details about it here – New Symbol for Indian Rupee finalized.

Are we going to have a new symbol to represent Indian Rupee? According to Indian finance ministry, the ‘Change’ factor seems to have hit India and its currency. The Government of India will be conducting a competition to partner with public in order to come up with an ‘Innovative symbol for Indian Rupee’. The finance ministry site has all the details and the best part of the whole program is that we too can involve in the process of coming up with a new symbol.

What it means is that each one of us have an equal chance of winning a grand prize money of INR 2,50,000/-.  The top 5 selections will receive Rs 25K each irrespective of getting selected as the final symbol. The jury of examiners would consist of seven members drawn from various organizations in the field of arts, finance, culture, history etc., All we need to do is to come up with a creative symbol(similar to $, €, ¥, £ etc.,) keep the following things in your mind and you could be in the pages of history!

The symbol should

  • Represent the historical and cultural prominence of the country.
  • Be widely acceptable across the country.
  • Be applicable to standard keyboard.
  • Be in the Indian National Language Script or a visual representation.

For more details visit finance ministry website and my best wishes are with you! Ensure that your entry reaches the right people latest by 1300 hours on 15th April 2009. Keeping all that aside, what do you feel about the whole episode of coming up with new currency symbol? Do we really need it?

    “I had written to the RBI in 2005 saying we should have a symbol for the rupee,” said Nondita Correa-Mehrotra , one of the finalists, more marvelling at the coincidence of it all than implying it may have influenced the government.

    Correa-Mehtorta is a Harvard University-trained architect and works at her father’s firm—Mumbai-based Charles Correa Associates. The final list pits two leading advertising agencies against each other for the big honour—JWT and Publicis Ambience.

    Hitesh Padamshali is a creative director, design, at JWT’s Mumbai office, while Shahrukh J Irani is a creative director at Publicis Ambience. The list also has a typography scholar in D. Udaya Kumar, a PhD candidate at IIT Mumbai’s Industrial Design Centre. He is preparing to defend his dissertation—Transformation of Tamil letter forms from palm leaf manuscripts to early letter press printing—early next year.

    Shibin KK, a computer science teacher at a government higher secondary school near Thalasserry, Kerala, is the fifth finalist, and an outsider of sorts with no formal training in drawing or design. However, he takes up freelance design work.

    For the five finalists, it’s a agonising wait till the symbol is unveiled.

  3. कृपया बी एस रावत जी से
    पूछे ———–
    १-
    २- जूरी के सामने समस्त २६४४ प्रतिभागियो का बायोडाटा भेजा गया की नहीं? अखिल भारतीय पारीछा मे बायोडाटा नहीं भेजा जाता जैसे – यू .पी.एस.सी. और लोक सेवा आयोग, कर्मचारी चयन आयोग आदि.
    ३- जूरी के केवल दो सदस्य आर्ट फील्ड से है अन्य पाँच सदस्य आर्ट फील्ड से है या नहीं ?
    ४- Nondita Correa-Mehrotra ने २००५ मे सिम्बोल हेतु आर .बी.आई /गवर्नमेंट को लिखा था, इसकी जानकारी को बी एस रावत जी ने छिपाया की नहीं (भारत दक्षिण-एशियाई क्षेत्र में मुक्त व्यापार लागू करने के बाद एक ही मुद्रा का प्रचलन शुरू करना चाहता है-नवभारत टाइम्स)
    ५- जूरी का नाम आज तक प्रकाशित नहीं किये जाने का क्या कारन हैं ?
    ६- अन्नंतिम पाँच लोगो का नाम प्रकाशित करने के पहले मंत्री/कैबिनेट का
    अनुमोदन लिया गया या नहीं? “RBI has given its recommendations, but it will need the approval of the finance minister as well as the Cabinet.
    ७- जूरी ने अंतिम एक प्रतिभागी की recommendations (संस्तुति) भी कर दी की नहीं?
    ८- aswidely accepted across the the country. के लिए कौन सी टेक्निक अपनाई जाएगी ?
    ९- shortlisted candidates said the symbols suggested were a mix of the traditional Indian script and the Roman script. इसका क्या अर्थ है- जूरी के सात सदस्य Indian National Language अन्तेर्गत सभी भाषा के जानकर थे या ट्रांसलेटर का सहारा लिया गया सभी के स्क्रिप्ट translate का प्रकासन किया जाये.

    The long wait for a symbol of the rupee is expected to end by March next year. A committee headed by Reserve Bank of India Deputy Governor Usha Thorat has shortlisted five symbols from 4,000 entries for a public competition to select a design for the symbol.
    The announcement of the final winner is expected in January, but a finance ministry official said the process would be over by March. “RBI has given its recommendations, but it will need the approval of the finance minister as well as the Cabinet. This may take two-three months,” he said. The official, however, said a formal launch would take time

    ज्यादातर देशों की मुद्रा का अपना प्रतीक चिह्न है। मगर
    भारतीय रुपये का कोई सिंबल नहीं है। रुपये को अंग्रेजी में Rs. लिख दिया जाता है। हिंदी में रुपये या रु. का इस्तेमाल होता है। लेकिन कुछ समय से सरकार रुपये का सिंबल खोजने में जुटी हुई है। सरकार चाहती है कि जैसे डॉलर या यूरो के अपने प्रतीक चिह्न हैं, उसी तरह का रुपया का भी हो।

    यह सिंबल कैसा हो, इसके लिए सरकार ने बाकायदा एक प्रतियोगिता शुरू करके देशवासियों से रुपये के प्रतीक चिह्न के डिजाइन का आइडिया देने को कहा था। वित्त मंत्रालय के सूत्रों ने बताया कि बहुत से लोगों ने रुपये का प्रतीक चिह्न बनाकर भेजा। छंटनी के बाद 2455 लोगों के डिजाइन की पहली लिस्ट बनाई गई है। इस लिस्ट में से बेस्ट सिंबल छांटने के लिए एक जूरी बनाई गई है। इस जूरी में वित्त मंत्रालय, रिजर्व बैंक ऑफ इंडिया के अलावा प्रधानमंत्री की आर्थिक सलाहकार परिषद के सदस्य भी हैं। जूरी अंतिम पसंदीदा और दस योग्यतम प्रतीक चिह्न छांटेगा। इसके बाद उन पर बहस होगी। अगर जरूरत पड़ी तो सिंबल के डिजाइन में संशोधन भी किया जाएगा।

    सूत्रों का कहना है कि रुपये का सिंबल का डिजाइन ऐसा होगा, जो रुपये की अवधारणा से मेल खाता हो। सरकार का मकसद है कि इस सिंबल के जरिए रुपये को अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाजार में स्थापित करना। हालांकि इस बात से भी इनकार नहीं किया जा सकता कि भारत दक्षिण-एशियाई क्षेत्र में मुक्त व्यापार लागू करने के बाद एक ही मुद्रा का प्रचलन शुरू करना चाहता है। इस मामले में रुपये का प्रतीक काफी सहायक साबित होगा। दक्षिण एशियाई क्षेत्र में भारत सबसे बड़ा व्यापारिक देश है, ऐसे में रुपये को एकल मुद्रा बनाने में आसानी होगी।

    पीएचडीसीसीआई के पूर्व अध्यक्ष एल. के. मल्होत्रा का कहना है कि यह अच्छी पहल है। भारत को अगर आर्थिक रूप से महाशक्ति बनना है तो उसे अंतरराष्ट्रीय बाजार में अपनी मुद्रा का प्रचलन बढ़ाने के प्रयास करने होंगे।

  10. Will the concerned authorities in the finance ministry display all the symbols of 2644 eligible entries with the explainations so that the whole world will know whether the final 5 entries are better than the best or cut above the rest.

    • I am surprised how 7 people of Jury can decide what India should use as currency symbol. This is a democratic country and we people will have to use this symbol everyday. Even if it is not possible to go in for an elaborate voting process with Indian public, they should take the help of at least say 100 to 1000 experts and professionals in arts, design, business and economy and perhaps other areas from various parts of India and get all these entries voted by them based on a SET OF CRITERIA. This way BIAS can be avoided. These experts need not be from Government organizations. They serve as volunteers in the selection process. To make matters easy this voting can happen in an online manner with all images and texts scanned. These experts should be provided online access with unique login id and password for them to access and vote. On every criteria they can give a rating of 1 to 5.

      The results of the voting should be made available to Indian public anytime through this portal. Let’s propose this to Government. They should not do this selection in a non-transparent manner. We have to stop the flawed process that is going on right now immediately.

      How is this idea ?

  11. Yes It is a VERY GOOD SUGGESTION to invite entries once again from Indian citizens. It was not publicized properly earlier. In fact many people i came across came to know very late just before deadline. You need time to really think through all facets of India.

    Economictimes was also misleading. It asked for voting and also invited symbols from ET readers. I am sure those who sent their symbols to editor of economictimes would have wasted their effort because they would not have been accepted by Finance ministry, as there can be no payment of Rs 500 and no synopsis and no biodata etc.

    Only in economictimes it came out prominently. How many creative designers would be reading economictimes online version.
    So, the whole thing was not managed properly. They should conduct it again considering the old entries while inviting new entries from all Indian citizens, including those who participated earlier.

    people should write to Finance ministry to invite entries once more to be fair to all.

    • I agree with Jayesh. Government should extend the deadline now inviting fresh entries. There are many people with better ideas.

  12. I think people should make a demand to Finance ministry to invite one more set of entries for the sake of those who could not participate within that short time.

    Reply

  13. First of all they should have given enough time for people to create a symbol. People had just one month’s time(from March 6th to Apr 15th). Also, many expert designers would have come to know(if at all) only about 2 or 3 weeks later because it was not publicised thru ads. I think they should have given atleast 3 to 6 month’s time for people to think and create. By now I am sure many more people would have come out with better ideas for the symbol. I hope they don’t do a final selection in a hurry. It is better they call for and accept one more set of entries to give an opportunity for those who could not participate within that time frame.

  14. I hope Mr.S raut has not gone into exile and he is still attached with the finance ministry.I have some questions in my mind and i hope he will give answer to the same.
    1) Sir can u tell us exactly how many entries were received by your department .There is a sharp contrast in the number given by u and the the final list of eligible participants.What were the basis on which thousands of entries were discarded.By no stretch of imagination one can digest the fact that alomost more than 22,000 entries were rejected.
    2)Sir, if u remember correctly all the eligible participants were supposed to give participation certificate.as per the original plan it was somewhere in jan 2010, but with so many less entries by now everybdy should have received those.Why delay?
    3)When and Where all the 7 member jury sat for the selection process and what were the parameters of the selection.Has every entry been analysed thoroughly and if yes will u take the trouble to display the marks/grade each participant has received.
    4)Sir, dont u think the finance ministry is little bit confused regarding the manner in which this competition is organised . I will give u one example . your guidelines say that the entry has to be in national language script or visual representation on the other hand u have told BBC and Hindustan times that it can be also in English .
    5)Sir, how come Deccan Chronicle got the news of final 5 contestants even before it was available on ur website.Why not thie news available on Economic Times, Times of India and for that matter on all the newspapers where u have given the advertisements.
    6)Right from the begining there were lot of doubts regarding the authenticity of this competition and due to ur careless attitude not to give explainations regarding the vague guidelines, I am 100% sure that unfortunately some will go to the court of law and u will be solely responsible for that and spoiling a beautiful project.
    7)It is very clear that u have purposely kept the whole things confused and very shrudely kept in other conditions that it will be the responsibility of the winner to defednd himself in case of any dispute. Sir, normally the condition is that the decision of the jury is final and binding . u have very cleverly avoided this clause.
    8)I hope u will come out with some explaination in this regard otherwise u will have a tough time in the court of law.There is nothing personal against the top 5 but they will also agree that there is a total mess w.r.t this competition

  28. My symbol is in the link below:
    http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/2944/inrsymbol.gif
    You will find whatever, you suggested as part of it, and many more like Swastika symbol, King’s face used in ancient currencies, Ashok Chakra, Number 0, letters e.g, R,S,P,U,E,I etc. even र or रु, holy signs like sacred kalash and also the sign of stability along with its negotiation with foriegn currencies with the use of horizontal bar having two open arms facing upward & downward to keep up with market fluctuation and finally as a whole visual representation of an emperor with one sword facing upward in right hand to fight enemies and the other one in left hand facing downward to hole peace in his country but yet it is so simple!
    I think it’s not at all complicated as it consists of 1 P, 1 O and 1 horizontal S. It is a three Stroke symbol, whereas $, £ are two stroke symbols and €, ¥ are of three strokes.
    Even, this symbol can be written in a single stroke by starting from the downside of P , followed by the O in anti-clockwise direction and finally the horizontal S. Moreover, the pattern is so unique that ambiguity will never arise with other letters/ currencies/numbers even if written carelessly or in too hurry.

    What it means is that a symbol you are going to come up with should be easily implementable to type with standard English keyboard. One example to quote here could be that of ‘Euro’ symbol. It was not there before. But now keyboards can produce a Euro symbol with a stroke of a couple of keys.

    Nice thought. We already have Rs as a UTF-8 symbol. Indian government is looking at coming up with a new symbol altogether since there are multiple countries like Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan,Mauritius, Indonasia etc., using Rs as their currency symbol too. I don’t see any logic in their reasoning. Even $ symbol is being used by US, Australia, Canada etc.,

    My strong feel is that we should be concentrating on strengthening the value of rupee rather than banging our head to come up with a new symbol.

    @shaik jilani basha, @jilani basha
    This is not the place to share your thoughts on the symbol. Please follow the guidelines as mentioned in the document on finance ministry website and send it to them please 🙂 Appreciate your creativity though.

    @Yadu
    Thanks for your thoughts, makes sense.

  42. What a joke, the Indian govt. should spend a few millions and get the symbol done and put it in front of the people to choose one or ask them to draw a few for free, instead of charging money for each entry.
    I am patriotic, but have no motivation to go and take a 500 rupee DD to the finance ministry and then send in my hard work to be taken over by the govt. or just thrown in the bin if not selected.
    India today or at least the media it talking of all inclusive growth but the politican’s remain in their own world especially this idiot who is wanting this symbol done. Can’t believe Chidambaram is seconding this thought though.
    There are a billion people who live below the poverty line and its not that they can’t think, they have better brains than myself or even the rich in India. But they can’t get noticed because of clauses like this and money making schemes of the govt. of India. If the Indian govt. can’t help them or encourage them to show case their ideas who else will. No wonder its depression in the west and majority of Indians do not want to go back to India because of this appalling state of affairs.
    Feel sorry for mother India, who can never see hope and be fair to her children.

    Hence our symbol is must be have ZERO

    R (part of Ħ ) represents–> Rupee
    Like P (part of Ħ )

    Nice thoughts. However, π is a Greek letter and one of the condition in the competition is to use ‘Indian Language Script or Visual Representation’.

    Reply

  48. a pi symbol (П or п), can be Rupee symbol
    As ancient Indians contributions in the field of mathematics is commandable. Hence a pi symbol is very well suited as a rupee symbol(П or п), and it sounds like rupee while pronounced too. It reminds contribution in the field of trigonometry as well.
