The symbol, the Finance Ministry has announced, “should represent the historical and cultural ethos of the country as widely accepted across the country”. It should be applicable to “standard keyboard” and has to be in the Indian National Language Script or a visual representation, it says.
All valid entries received by the deadline of April 15 will be evaluated by a jury of three members drawn from reputed art institutions and two representatives each from the government and Reserve Bank of India. Five entries will be shortlisted at which stage participants will be asked to make presentations to the jury. The winner will get a cash prize of Rs 250,000 while the shortlisted five participants will get Rs 25,000 each. The selected design will become a property of the government of India.

what does it mean by design !! when it is specified in the condition that "The symbol should be applicable to standard keyboard. The symbol has to be in the Indian National Language Script or a visual representation."I am totally confused ........!!!!!!!!it is the matter of CREATION OR SELECTIONWITHIN INDIAN SCRIPS???????PLEASE ANY ONE EXPLAIN ME...........
I thing govt. has suggested a good thing . In my view I think "TRISHUL" or "LOTUS" or "3 LIONS" will be the nice .
we can have three lines and one dot in between to show the culture of indianism of Men wearing kand and Women wearing bindi as a sign of shiva eye.
INDIA KNOWN AS SONE KI CHIRIYA. I THINK THE SYMBOL OF INDIAN RS IS "SONE KI CHIRIYA"
what do you mean by the "applicable to standard key board"? do you mean that the symbol should be selected from the symbol depicted on the standard key board only, or if my symbol sign is not in the key board is not valid? can we design a seperate symbol which is not available on the standard ky board. please specify. with regards. thanks.
"applicable to standard key board".this means d symbol which will be selected for the Indian currency will be included in the standard key board (which u r using rite now) just as u find the symbol of dollar n pound u ll find the symbol of rupees in the keyboard too.....
Where does the question of "design" comes here? It is expected to be available in "Standard keyboard". All characters in that already have exclusive meaning. As someone has quoted already, Om and * are closer to our ethos which can be used. May be Swastik too is possible. Apart from that is there any scope to have different design?
where r we suppose to submit our sugesstions for the international symbol of rupee?
OM Symbol in sanskrit, it will represent indain historic, ethhos also
I think * should be better symbol for Indian Rupee. One reason is * replicates asoka chakra in the national flag. Other reason is it is a symbol of rising sun.
Where to submit the design? can some one help?
