New Currency Symbol for the Indian Rupee

Most countries in the world have distinct identification symbols for their currency – $ represents the US Dollar, £ is used for GBP, € for Euro, etc. and now India has official currency sign for the Indian Rupee.
The winning symbol was created by Uday Kumar, a post-graduate student at the Indian Institute of Technology.
He beat 3000 other entries to win the cash prize of 250,000 rupees ($7,388).
The symbol is an amalgam of the Indian Devanagari script Ra and the Roman capital letter R without the stem.
