ഇന്ത്യയുടെ ദേശീയ ചിഹ്നം
അശോകചക്രവർത്തി സ്ഥാപിച്ച അശോക സ്തംഭത്തിൽ നിന്നും പകർത്തിയെടുത്തിട്ടുളളതാണ് ഇന്ത്യയുടെ ദേശീയ ചിഹ്നം. ഉത്തർ പ്രദേശിലെ സാരാനാഥിലുള്ള മ്യൂസിയത്തിൽ ഇതു സൂക്ഷിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. 1956 ജനുവരി 26 നാണ് ഇന്ത്യ ദേശീയ ചിഹ്നമായി അശോക സ്തംഭം സ്വീകരിച്ചത്.
രാജ്യത്തിന്റെ
ഔദ്യോഗിക എഴുത്തുകുത്തുകളിൽ ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്ന പേപ്പറിന്റെ മുകളിൽ ഈ ചിഹ്നം
ഉപയോഗിക്കാറുണ്ട്. കൂടാതെ ഇന്ത്യൻ കറൻസി നോട്ടുകളിലും ഈ ചിഹ്നം ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നു.
ഇന്ത്യൻ പാസ്‌പോർട്ടിൽ ഇവ അച്ചടിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. ചിഹ്നത്തിന്റെ അടിയിൽ കാണാവുന്ന
അശോകൻ ചക്രം ഇന്ത്യൻ പതാകയുടെ ഭാഗമാക്കിയിട്ടുണ്ട്.
Signature of RBI Governor
The Governor of the Reserve Bank of
India (RBI) is the chief executive of India's central bank and the ex-officio chairperson of its Central Board of Directors. Indian Rupee currency notes, issued by the RBI, bear the governor's
signature.
Why
is there a signature of the governor of RBI on every single note in India?
You may have seen a promissory clause on
all banknotes. That signature forms part of it. This means that as per Section
26 of Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, the Bank is liable to pay you the value
of a banknote. This is payable to you on demand by RBI, being the issuer. The
Bank's obligation to pay the value of banknote to you does not arise out of a
contract but out of statutory provisions.
The promissory clause printed on the
banknotes i.e., "I promise to pay the
bearer an amount of X" is a statement which means that your
banknote is a legal tender for X amount. The obligation on the part of the Bank
is to exchange your banknote for coins of an equivalent amount.
Being head of RBI the governor signature
are part of every note. But in case of coins and Rs.1 note (which bears the
signature of finance minister and not governor) because these are not printed
by RBI. They are printed/ minted by Indian government.

Wildlife in India
 |
Bengal Tiger

The wildlife in India comprises a mix of species of
different types of organisms. Apart
from a handful of the major farm animals such as cows, buffaloes, goats,
poultry, and camels, India has an amazingly wide variety of animals
native to the country. It is home to Bengal tigers, Indian lions, deer, pythons, wolves, foxes, bears, crocodiles, wild dogs, monkeys, snakes, antelope species, varieties of bison and the Asian elephant. The region's rich and diverse wildlife is
preserved in 120+ national parks, 18 Bio-reserves and 500+ wildlife sanctuaries across the country. India has some of the most bio diverse regions of
the world and hosts three of the world’s 35 biodiversity hotspots – or
treasure-houses – that is the Western Ghats, the Eastern Himalayas and
Indo-Burma. Since India is home
to a number of rare and threatened animal species, wildlife management in the
country is essential to preserve these species. India is one of the seventeen mega diverse countries. According to one study, India along with other
16 mega diverse countries is home to about 60-70% of the world's biodiversity. India, lying within the Indomalaya ecozone, is home to about 7.6% of all mammalian, 12.6% of avian, 6.2% of reptilian, and 6.0% of flowering plant species.
