“An amalgam of the Devanagari ‘Ra’ and the Roman capital ‘R’ without the stem…. [it] is based on the Tricolour and “arithmetic equivalence”. While the white space between the two horizontal lines gives the impression of the national flag with the Ashok Chakra, the two bold parallel lines stand for ‘equals to’, representing balance in the economy, both within and with other economies of the world.”
This verdict was given by the five – member jury.
The finance ministry organised an open competition to design the new symbol. The prize set for the winner was Rs250,000 ($5,352) in cash.
And the winner was…Udaya Kumar, a post-graduate student at Mumbai’s Industrial Design Centre, which is part of one of India’s elite institutes of technology (IITs).
