Indan, Chinese degrees to be treated at par

Come September, India and China are all set to make a new start in the education sector by giving mutual recognition to each other's degrees. According to senior officials of the Ministery for Human Resource Development, HRD Minister Kapil Sibal is expected to sign a long-awaited pact during his China visit from September 10 to 16, 2010.

Sibal will be attending the World Economic Forum in Tianjin between September 13 and 16, 2010. So far India and China's cooperation in education has been restricted to exchange programmes following signing of an agreement in 2006. The new pact will come as a relief to thousands of Indian students studying in Chinese institutions, as they would no longer need to worry about the validity of their degrees on returning home.

But, medicine which is the most popular subject for Indians, will however, may not be covered along with pharmacy programmes.

Indian rupee gets its identity, joins currency club

Our newsmaker for this month is definitely the new Indian rupee and its unique symbol — a blend of the Devanagri 'Ra' and Roman 'R' — joining elite currencies like the US dollar, euro, British pound and Japanese yen in having a distinct identity.

The new symbol, designed by Bombay IIT post-graduate D Udaya Kumar, was approved by the cabinet today — reflecting that the Indian currency, backed by an over-trillion dollar economy, was finally making its presence felt on the international scene.

"It's a big statement on the Indian currency. The symbol would lend a distinctive character and identity to the currency and further highlight the strength and global face of the Indian economy," Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni told reporters after the cabinet meeting on July 14, 2010.

Though the symbol will not be printed or embossed on currency notes or coins, it would be included in the 'Unicode Standard' and major scripts of the world to ensure that it is easily displayed and printed in the electronic and print media. Among currencies with distinctive identities, only the pound sterling has its symbol printed on the notes.
