..........With anti-counterfeiting rather than bestowing national honours as its aim, the RBI priorities for which faces to choose might be slightly different. And several years back K.D.Savkur, then the head of the Currency Department, explained them for me - they wanted faces that were of details that would be hard to copy, and that ideally meant faces with plenty of hair. The department had gone so far as to shortlist national leaders with full beards, like Rabindranath Tagore and Maulana Azad, who would fit their aims. Mother Teresa, with no beard but a heavily lined face, might have been another. Unfortunately for the currency department it only makes recommendations on currency designs, and the final choice is made in a series of opaque consultations between the RBI and ministry of finance.........
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.
