SDG 16: Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions
Institution: Reserve Bank of India | Ministry of Finance
The Reserve Bank of India has launched a dedicated microsite on Indian banknotes, providing detailed information on design, denomination features, and security elements. The interactive platform includes 360-degree views, multimedia guides, and educational games to help citizens identify genuine currency and understand exchange facilities. By making this information accessible in an engaging format, the RBI aims to strengthen public trust in currency management and reduce risks from counterfeit circulation.
While not a regulatory intervention, the microsite represents a significant step in financial literacy and institutional transparency. It enhances public capacity to detect counterfeit notes, supports law enforcement, and bolsters confidence in Indiaβs monetary system β all of which are critical for effective governance and stable financial transactions.
Relevant Question for Policy Stakeholders:
How can digital awareness tools like RBIβs microsite be integrated into broader national strategies for financial literacy and fraud prevention?
