New Rupee Symbol Installation

India has come up with a new symbol for its currency. Here is what economic times published---

"No words can explain my feeling....It is a great honour for me to be part of the Indian history," said a jubilant D Udaya Kumar who gave the Indian rupee its unique symbol.

The 31-year-old IIT-B post graduate in industrial design also feels that his use of Devanagri script helped him clinch the coveted honours.

"Indianising the symbol was very important. I had to be simple and acceptable nationally and internationally. It had to reflect our culture and ethos," Kumar, who would be joining IIT (Guwahati) as Assistant Professor tomorrow, said.

"My design is based on the tricolour, with two lines at the top and white space in between. I want our flag to fly high," Kumar said with a broad smile.
