Dear all, If you recall my posting in December 2011 with regard to visit with RBI governor; I did formulate features list of accessible currency and accessible coin.
I was advised verbally to get in touch with Dr. Sanjeev sharma, General Manager of Currency Design based out of Mumbai who does not seem very supportive. He informed me that Suhas karnik is on the design committee and any suggestion with regard to accessible currency has to be routed through him. Folks: I know Suhash for a long time but don't have his contact. Request Suhash to kindly take this initiative forward. Dr. sanjeev Sharma further informed me that coins are not purview of RBI and any request for access modification has to be approached through Ministry of Finance. I did send detail note to RBI governor and keeping my finger across that he would reply. May I request Delhi team to find out which department is responsible for designing coins? It is certainly a disappointment when governor has expressed his willingness to implement accessible solution in 2012 but his subordinates don't have the will to take this up. Harish, Rajesh, is it possible to push it internally since you folks are from RBI.
