controversies on how Indian Rupee Symbols are finalized

15. July 2010 by close to reality 3 Comments

On July 15, 2010 Indian Government has announced the new symbol of Indian currency (rupee). The designer of the symbol Uday Kumar is from IIT who is on the ninth cloud now. But there are several controversies going on on the selection of Indian rupee symbol. I have seen the work of some people like Utpal Pande which makes you to think how much effort each individual might have put in designing those symbols according to the norms set by the Government of India.

There are some shocking stories saying

The jurors took only 17 hours to go through all the 3331 designs, which means roughly 18 seconds per design were given.

The 5 shortlisted symbols are not bad, but they are not good enough when you consider that over 3300 designs were received.

Here is another thing, the person, Ms. Nondita Correa-Mehrotra, who had given the suggestion to go in for this competition is one of the 5 rupee symbol shortlisted candidates.

The RTI query also clearly shows that the procedure was not at all transparent – It was not video-graphed, which now-a-days is a norm for all such government decisions. Additionally, whole jury was not present during the rupee symbol presentations.

 

against to the Government's decision, there is a site called Save Indian Rupee Symbol.

Media for the first time in the history of India has gone into a mysterious silence over the fraud played by the organisers of symbol for rupee competition .

In the past the same media specially electronic media has entered the bedrooms of the people to expose them and bring infront of the world and played the news 24x7 and this time when the things are crystal clear before them they have gone into the shell.
