Halo friends Vatsal shah from baroda, gujrat
I also would like to register my protest or complaint for the same.even I suggest that earlier notes which had gandhiji imagewere perfect.even currency notes before gandhiji were perfect.visually impaired people did not face problem.they were perfect in size and shape.yes, I am talking about 20 years back time when currency notes of denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 500 were prevalent.i lost my eyesight in june 1998.all currency notes of that era were perfect for blind to recognize. I urge government to issue similar notes keeping in mind visually impaired people.gandhiji series notes were issued in 1996 probably when I was in eighth standard.their lenghth was different and also width.10 and 20 rupees note had similar width.just length was different.10 rupees note being longer than 10 rupees note. Similarly, 50 and 100 rupees notes had similar width.their length was different. 500 rupees note was very long and broad. Whosoever had designed those notes had kept divyang people in mind.i remember there were signs or symbols of triangle and square and circle on them.at that time, I being in in 8 and 9 standard could not understand purpose of those signs on currency notes.i lost my eyesight suddenly in june 1998 due to viral fever. If such notes are brought again in circulation, problem for visually impaired and low vision people can be solved. So it is my humble request to take my suggestions and implement same.i many times wonder and express my inability to convey my message to person of higher authority or government to bring back those currency notes into circulation.new currency notes having similar size need to be withdrawn from market at once. Even government had made mistake when 500 rupee notes were issued which were almost similar in size like 20 rupees note.i believe that government must have consulted advisors or committee before giving green signal to print such notes. So my humble request to bring back gandhiji series notes which were issued or started in 1996 probably.they were orangish, pinkish and bluish in colour or had tinge of those colours. I think that all my fellow friends will support me in expressing my request on behalf of all disabled or divyang or visually impaired citizens of india. I hope that my request or plead will definitely taken into consideration.after all this is question which is lingering since many months and my fellow friends are anxiously waiting for reserve bank and financial minister to take into consideration.as it is said that old is gold, I once again repeat same thing.gandhiji image notes started in 1996 were perfect in size and shape.all notes had different length as mentioned above.please issue such kind of notes which are convenient for blind people so that they can recognize them and are not cheated. Now days,taking hint from developed countries, government should go for plastic notes.use of credit and debit cards should be encouraged more and more so that government has to print less notes thereby saving paper and trees.all vendors and shps should have facility of swiping cards.even multiplexes, rickshaws, hotels, cafeteria, fast food joints, hawkers and vendors.i am talking or voicing on behalf of all my fellow Indians who don't have basic needs and amenities.they take advantage of rickshaw and bus service.many visually impaired Indians might never have come out of their house and faced challenges of this world. Due to voicing of one individual, many Indians or society at large will be benifited. Lets see if government considers my demands or suggestions and does something concrete for crores of blind people of india.of course, repeating, I feel that issue of new currency notes of different size was not correct or wise decision.cabinet must have been consulted.

Subject: [AI] Report on Accessible notes I fully agree with Harish. No tactile markings on paper currency will help the Blind, because such markings get faded or become blur after some time. Different sizes and shapes is the only solution. These sizes and shapes should be in same proportion of their face value. More the value, larger the size.
