VISION

Over the past few years, I have been fortunate to have received your support in various endeavors that I have undertaken.  This support saw me being elected for two terms to the Northern India Regional Council. The Regional Council deemed it fit to repose it's confidence in me as the Chairman for the team of 2008-09. I am eternally grateful to my colleagues in the profession who made it possible that I was elected to this post. During the period that I was representing your mandate in the regional council I tried my best to work for the best interests of our noble profession. In all that I have achieved, I owe my success to the unstinting dedication that I received from my entire team. 

The Central Council is the apex decision making body of our profession. The deliberations and decisions taken in the central council have consequences that will steer the course of the profession in the years ahead. I feel that I have a great deal to contribute to the profession in the foreseeable future: 

To set up campuses at various locations, this will not only enhance the technical exposure of chartered accountants but will also help them in overall personality development. It will be achieved by making them to choose and excel in an area of desired expertise and via these campuses, they will grow and be recognized all over India in their desired area of specialization. This process normally takes years of hardship to become an expert. The same is expected to be achieved within the time span of 6 months. A CA should not only be professionally competent but also should possess high level of communication and presentation skills to ensure that the market demand for CA's is stimulated. This will help them in setting higher benchmarks with respect to other fields.

A highly IT enabled infrastructure has become a necessity considering the lack of a uniformity in the manual system. Our aim is to build and promote better IT infrastructure which would seamlessly serve both students and members. A constant effort would be made to maintain, upgrade and replace our ageing outmoded infrastructure with the more effective, equitable and efficient one.

To provide recognition to CA course equivalent to post-graduation degree.

Better grievance redress mechanism by providing such helpline numbers/ toll-free landline numbers which will be answered promptly and all queries will be duly entertained.

To create an environment by using the good offices of ICAI for equitable distribution of the professional opportunities in government sector, banks and other institutions and to rationalize the tendering policy with a view for SME firms and to create more work opportunities for practicing Chartered Accountants.

The motive of ICAI should be to provide better job opportunities not only for newly qualified chartered accountants by organizing campus selection but also put a system to provide opportunity the members in industry to grab the better opportunity for better utilization of their expertise and experience even after retirement from PSU's and other government organizations.

To institutionalize a system for effectively representing before the government and other authorities; and effort to create an environment beyond the personal interest of the elected representative to enhance the glory of the profession at the highest level.

Efforts to enhance the strength of CA Benevolent Fund through CSR or any other manner to provide better and adequate social security to the members and their families in their time of need. 

I, continuously solicit your suggestions on all aspects that can lead to the betterment of our profession and assure a 24*7 service to the members in need. To be able to contribute in a meaningful and dignified manner, I request you to kindly support my candidature in the forthcoming election to the central council of the Institute of Chartered Accountant of India.

Thanking you and with warm regards, 

Yours Sincerely,
