A couple of days ago from my college posted on Facebook that he’s designing a symbol for Indian Rupee. Of course I didn’t take it seriously. I told myself it could only be true if Sukhi’s father works for the Reserve Bank of India and decided to give his son a place in history or Sukhi has some really deep connections with the Government. Either way I would have never thought that it was the Ministry of Finance which is holding a contest for designing the symbol for Indian Rupee.
It’s true that Sukhi was indeed designing a symbol. You can also do the same. The Ministry of Finance, Department of Economic Affairs (sounds flashy right?!) is holding a contest called Symbol for the Indian Rupee. All major currencies in the world have a symbol. It’s just that we’ve woken up right now. All you have to do is come up with a design and submit it.
Five entries will be shortlisted for final submission. The selected designers would be paid INR 25,000 each on giving a presentation to the jury. One person whose design is finally selected will be rewarded with INR 250,000. Now that’s a very sweet amount of money up for grabs. Check out the official guidelines here.
