FROM THE PRESIDENT
My Dear Professional Colleagues, A very Happy CA DAY to all of you! This CA Day on July 1 is more than special. This day our Institute will step into 70th year, i.e. Platinum Jubilee year, of its glorious existence. On this very day, our Institute came into being in the year 1949. The occasion calls for befitting celebrations for ICAI’s steadfast march in the glory of bringing a Resolute Economic India. The Platinum Jubilee celebrations are set to be launched by none other than the first citizen of the country, Hon’ble President of India Shri Ram Nath Kovind in a grand function in Delhi. These celebrations will be dedicated to our indomitable spirit and a purposeful, meaningful and benevolent existence. These will be the celebration of the contributions that ICAI and Indian accounting profession have made to the country ever since our inception. We remember what our first Prime Minister had said: Time is not measured by the passing of years but by what one does, what one feels, and what one achieves. On behalf of the profession and the Institute, let me mention with pride that we are celebrating our work, our achievements and the fulfilment of our promises made to the stakeholders ever since we were born.
