Rajasthan Governor to Unveil ₹25 coin in Honor of Philanthropist Nahata

The Hon'ble Governor of Rajasthan, Shri Haribhau Bagde, along with Jainacharya Shri Jin Piyush Sagar Surishwarji, is set to unveil a ₹25 commemorative coin in honor of Shri Harakhchand Nahata on the auspicious occasion of Basant Panchami, February 2, 2025, in Bikaner, Rajasthan.

This commemorative coin is being issued to mark the 25th death anniversary of Shri Harakhchand Nahata. The ceremony will be graced by esteemed dignitaries, including Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal, Union Minister of Law and Justice, and Shri Sumit Godara, Minister of Food and Supplies, Government of Rajasthan, among others.

Shri Nahata was a distinguished social leader, philanthropist, and entrepreneur who played a pivotal role in over 60 socio-religious organizations. His contributions spanned social welfare, religion, art promotion, animal care, and public service. Born into a prominent Bikaner family celebrated for its contributions to literature, art, and culture, Shri Nahata’s family possesses one of India’s largest private collections of manuscripts and artworks. A true patriot, he often proclaimed, "The Nation is above Religion and Culture. Only when the Nation is secure, Religion and Culture will be secure."

In recognition of Shri Nahata’s lasting legacy, the India Post had previously issued a commemorative postal stamp on his 10th Death Anniversary in 2009.

The Ministry of Finance issued a gazette notification on December 31, 2024, confirming the ₹25 coin. This will be the second or third commemorative coin of 2025, reportedly minted by the India Government Mint, Mumbai.
