........ RTI activist Manoranjan Roy tried to find out how and when the Mahatma became the mainstay of our currency but the RBI said that there was no document recording the change. The question to be asked is: Do we really need a face on our currency? So far, all the coins have the emblem of the Ashoka Pillar, which stands for peace and non-violence. This is featured in currency notes as well. Currently, the only personality gracing our currency notes is Mahatma Gandhi. These are the symbols that an average Indian is able to identify with. The very idea of having a new face on our currency throws it open to misuse by the ruling party to glorify their leader(s) according to political requirements...........
The very purpose of VITALINFO is to provide a platform for wider dissemination of updated information related to and happening of events in and around RBI.
