Again a good news : Rupee has a symbol! IIT-ian's design selected

● Finally, the Rupee has a symbol like other major global currencies! In a historic event, a five-member jury set up to finalise symbol for the rupee selected the design presented by IIT-ian D Udaya Kumar. The Union Cabinet approved the symbol on Thursday noon. Speaking to rediff.com on Thursday, a proud D Udaya Kumar said: "My design is based on the Tricolour, with two lines at the top and white space in between. I wanted the symbol for the Rupee to represent the Indian flag.

It is a perfect blend of Indian and Roman letters: a capital 'R', and Devanagari 'ra', which represent rupiya, to appeal to international and Indian audiences." "I worked on it for few months and made numerous designs. Finally, I shortlisted 8 to 10 designs and then refined them further till I got this one," he said. "I got to know of my design having been chosen to represent the rupee from a media report. It is proud moment for me.

But I cannot rely on a media report alone as I have yet to get a confirmation from the finance ministry," he said, keeping his fingers crossed. "I will be joining the design department at IIT-Guwahati on Friday, and am looking forward to hearing the good news," he added.

 

Thats a really nice symbol

I like it

Finally INR has its own

 

cool....now we atleast have a cool symbol for our currency

 

The design looks simple and cool. Is it officially announced ?

 

something from euros there is in it

 

It is officially announced. It is the 5th currency to get its own symbol.

 

I'm surprised it didn't already have a symbol to be honest. Either way it looks cool, give it a few years and that will be ahead of the Euro!

 

Its good. I like it. This symbol contain many meanings about Indian Rupee but how we will write it... lol

 

We will have to write R in hindi and then put a dash in it. As Americans put in S in english.

- Mr.President -

 

Looking good, it is looking like a hindi character.

 

Impressive Design! To me its showing resemblance to Japanese or Chinese Character

 

ahhh I loved it man, but finally feeling relaxed as India is evolving as a developing country....

 

Looks like a reversed euro to me. IT"S A SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE put forth by the central banks!! HEHE.

 

It is simple to write. It has very good meaning.

 

cool symbol

 

makes perfect sense! nice work man... indian R with the lines.. will fit right in with the rest of the currency symbols...

 

Very cool. I'm surprised it took so long.

 

Its a nice symbol but the main problem is how much this symbol to be used and accepted from other countries.

 

I am happy with the new symbol its looking cool and i am thankful to designer of the symbol
