Articled/ Practical Training is the core to CA Curriculum and is its back bone. The Principal of Articled Trainee is the most important GURU/ Teacher for a CA student. Apart from academics, as the Principal, he imparts practical training on various areas such as auditing, law, accounting, management and so on. He teaches inter personal skills, guides for career growth and grooms articles to be an all rounded professional. The articled training is probably the only phase where a student has the same teacher for 3 years! The Principal – Article student is often known as a bond is for life – it transforms life’s and careers of budding Chartered Accountants.

Articled Training is an embodiment of Guru-Shishya Parampara (गुरु – शिष्य परम्परा) in the modern day world where the student gets practical on-the-job training in the Gurukul (गुरुकुल) of the Principal called CA Firm. In this Guru-Shishya parampara of articled training, the Principal gets an opportunity to train the sishya on the fine art of practicing the profession of Chartered Accountancy. The Principal teaches finer and applied nuances of the profession and ensures that his articled trainees succeed in life by passing exams and handling professional work. He is actually the guru/ teacher who brings to the profession successful Chartered Accountants, like himself throughout his career of over 40 years, wherein it is estimated that about 100 Chartered Accountants are trained and developed by him! The articled training is learning by doing and generally generates a lifetime bond of experience sharing. It is hence rightly said that:

A teacher is like a potter who gives a perfect shape to his student. The important role played by the Principal is very well appreciated by the Chartered Accountants and aspiring CA Students. The Institute proposes to celebrate the great occasion of Teachers’ Day on September 5, 2016 to strengthen the relationship and bond between Articles and their Principal and also to ensure that Chartered Accountants pay respect due to their Principal. The objective is to strengthen the lifetime bond that has been fostered over the three years period of Article Training.

As we all appreciate, once a student greets his Principal as his Teacher, the Principal will in turn ensure that his Students learns the work very well, learns values and quality of article training shall improve. Achieving the Teacher status automatically changes the behavior, attitude and attention that we give to our students. Every Principal envies to be in that position. We all need to give, acknowledge and reserve the teacher status for our Principal - it is noble and every Principal is genuinely a teacher. On this Teachers Day, all Students shall to connect with our Principal and all CAs shall connect back to their Principals. This shall be our resolve and earnest endeavor.

On Teachers’ Day, a Principal has a dual role to play. He has been an article and is now a Principal and can well appreciate this relationship. On one hand, as an article, he would always be filled with thankfulness for continuous knowledge and experience shared by his principal and on the other, he would keep inspiring hope and instilling the love for learning to ensure that his articles turn out to be successful professionals. Accordingly, the following initiatives have been planned for this day:

I request all Chartered Accountants and CA Students to actively participate in aforementioned initiatives of the Institute to strengthen the bond, affiliation and goodwill for the profession to grow by leaps and bounds.

Warm Regards,

आप हमारे सच्चे दोस्त, तत्वज्ञानी तथा मार्ग दर्शक रहे हैं
आपने इल्म देकर बनाया अपने जैसा चार्टर्ड अकाउंटेंट
आपने सिखाया काम कैसे करना, और पहुँचाया इस मुक्काम पर
अध्यापक दिवस २०१६ मैं हम आपको करते हैं शत-शत नमन


जीवन के हर अँधेरे में रोशनी दिखाते हैं आप,
बंद होजाए सब दरवाजे, नए रास्ते दिखाते हैं आप,
सिर्फ किताबी ज्ञान नहीं, जीवन जीना सिखाते हैं आप.
हैप्पी टीचर्स डे २०१६ ..
