The Union Finance Ministry has decided to release special coins to commemorate the 100th year of establishment of Banaras Hindu University (BHU).

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked the Finance Ministry for making arrangements in this regard following request of BHU vice-chancellor Professor G C Tripathi, according to a press release by the university.

BHU has stated that coins of Rs 100 will be commemorative while Rs 10 coins will be released in the market. The ministry officials have contacted the university’s Centennial Celebrations Cell seeking details and design ideas of the proposed coins.

The philatelic division of the Postal Department of the Government of India will also issue a special commemorative stamp to mark the occasion.

Tripathi has directed the authorities to host a competition among university students for designs of the coins and stamps. Both the stamp and coin would be released during the main centenary celebrations function to be held on Basant Panchami next year, the varsity officials said.

President Pranab Mukherjee had earlier released a special commemorative coin during the closing function of the 150th birth anniversary of BHU founder Madan Mohan Malaviya.
