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.
