Indian Currency A Retrospect

The trace of paper notes goes back to the issues by the Presidency Banks to the late 18th Century.

The Presidency banks were :
Bank of Bengal,
Bank of Bombay
Bank of Madras


The monopoly of these banks to print notes came to an end when The Paper Currency Act of 1861 conferred upon Government of India.

After that Government of India kept on printing note till RBI was formed. Reserve Bank of India was established on 1 April,1935.

Verbatim:

"The motifs appearing on Indian currency notes reflect the changing socio-cultural ethos and the world-view of the times: buccaneering mercantilism, colonial consolidation, domineering imperialism, the grandeur of empire, to the symbols of National Independence followed up by allegories of progress and finally in the latest series, reminiscing Gandhian values."

"The Government of India has the sole right to mint coins. The responsibility for coinage vests with the Government of India in terms of the Coinage Act, 1906 as amended from time to time. The designing and minting of coins in various denominations is also the responsibility of the Government of India. Coins are minted at the four India Government Mints at Mumbai, Alipore(Kolkata), Saifabad(Hyderabad), Cherlapally (Hyderabad) and NOIDA (UP)"

Barcamp Mumbai and Blogcamp Mumbai Style

Barcamp Mumbai (barcampmumbai.org) was a fantastic unconference, as they say. It was really an unconference, i liked the unorganising thing, though it was bit problematic. No issues enjoyed a lot.....................IT was at the IIT school of Management Powai...................For all those

Barcamp Mumbai (bardcampmumbai.org) is different from Barcamp MU3(barcamp.org/barcampmu3). MU3 is the universoty edition of Barcamp. It is where Barcamp is conducted in colleges or universities, and where the target audience is limited..................

Today's Barcamp(barcamp.org) was a Mumbai chapter hence the name Barcamp Mumbai Style(barcampmumbai.org) ........... There where hell lot of topics being discussed today.................

I initially thought that I reached late, as I reached Barcamp Mumbai (bardcampmumbai.org) at around 10:30. But fortunately I was at the Barcamp(bardcampmumbai.org) when the Wiki, or the sessions where just scheduled. ..................

Todays Barcamp Mumbai Style(bardcampmumbai.org) had 4 major heads to be discussed.
1 - Startups : where new startup where demoed etc...
2 - Blogging,Web 2.o : Covering blogging, Web 2.0, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), SMM etc...
3 - Tech : Covering topics on Hacking Nintendo DS, Creating Wordpress application, Facebook Apllications etc...
4 - Other (Misc) : Covering rest of the topics like Sun Startup(Sun where the major sponsors), etc....

I attended all the Pre lunch sessions at the Startup heads which was at the IRC Audi of IIT SJSOM (the venue for Barcamp Mumbai Style).................
Detail on this in the next post..............

Post lunch, i attended SEO(search engine optimization) sessions, hacking Nintendo DS, Sun Startup(http://www.sun.com/emrkt/startupessentials/index.jsp), tagg.in(tagg.in)................

We had very good lunch, coffee, tea, and fast food provided kudos to the UNorganisers.

But some issues i like to highlight are:
1 - Not all sessions planned where executed.
2 - The planning of the wiki really takes time and the breakfast should be kept simultaneously.

But no hard feelings, it happens. All and all a very fruit full day.....

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaait!!! the best part is yet to be told.........

Got many goodies like a
1 - Flex(http://www.adobe.com/products/flex) book from Brajeshwar(brajeshwar.com) himslef, 33
2 - Wikipack(contains the whole Wikipedia(http://en.wikipedia.org) site on a DVD) from Webaroo (webaroo.com) guys, and
3 - a T-shirt :)))

More on the BarCamp Series

Barcamp and Blogcamp the coming...........The veneue is at IIT SJSOM on 29th April..............
The best part it is, this time there are two Barcamps..... It is a combination of Barcamp Mumbai Chapter plus the Blogcamp(Barcamp on Blogging)(http://barcamp.org/BlogCampMumbaiStyle), in the series...... This Blogcamp is the from the organisers of the First Blogcamp conducted at Pune (http://barcamp.org/BlogCampPune)

After the very successful BarCampMU3 chapter, this is a quite huge one..............I think such Blogcamp Mumbai Style amd Barcamp Mumbai are a great medium for socializing, networking, marketing whatever you name it..............At least we come across some like minded people, which after college is hard to find.

Just waiting eagerly to attend it.......................
Dunno will it be possible for me, since we have our college presentations going on Research Papers.

My first Bar Camp

Haaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! at last, i am back to my tech world. Thanks to lots and lots of people, but the most important my MBA course. Which gave me this orientation that tech is my life and which is rightly depicted in my Pseudonym CYBORG.

Always wanted to be techy, but engg curriculum made me to balance it with studies. Ok so what I topped the college, came 20 in university, no big deal. I am still the same. Had a tremendous interest in Coding, but some could not do it "The Nerd Way". No regrets and enough of cribbing.

Finally doing something about Open Source and one more inquisitive thing. But let me tell you it is the entrepreneurship club that helped me to know about something called as BAR CAMP.

Was also not able to do blogging. Missing it much. But somewhere related to blogging when i introduced the blogging culture in my MBA college. Started 4 blogs. 2 are working. here they are
1 - http://siescoms.wordpress.com - Life At SIESCOMS
2 - http://siescomsmedia.blogspot.com - SIESCOMS Interactive
3 - http://innovateindia.wordpress.com/ - IDEA REsearch at SIESCOMS
4 - http://ec100807.wordpress.com/ - Entrepreneurship Club at SIESCOMS


So here i am preparing for my first visit at the bar camp being conducted at KJSIEIT Mumbai on 8th March
