Dear Students,

Taking over as the Chairman of SICASA is indeed a great honor. I can only hope to continue the great legacy that has been put forward by the previous office bearers. Let me take this opportunity to congratulate all the newly elected committee members–I look forward to work with them to accomplish great heights and expanding the creativity and other skills our beloved students are blessed with

The past one year has been something we never expected to endure. We never expected to lock ourselves, we never expected it would test our limits, we never expected to watch others lose their lives over it. COVID-19 was indeed a wake-up call. It woke us to go beyond our traditional means, to make use of our existing technologies to fight this pandemic, to make our lives a little bit easier. The previous committee has done extraordinarily well to keep our student’s brand alive. Digital interactions became a common means to meet people from around the globe, to inspire, to let us know that nothing will stop us.

This year we are mainly focused on soft skill improvement, self confidence development and along with building the brand of CA.

The month of February witnessed a lot of events. One of our most important initiatives for this year is conducting more workshops on Communication and Leadership Skills. SICASA has started their work shop and we’ve already had two such workshop meetings. It has been a very good response so far, and we hope to continue as this would certainly improve our student’s communication and soft skills to a great extent. We started this new initiative called “MEET A CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT ” where every Week , a chartered accountant would address the students about his life, his inspirations, his passions–to let us know that we’re not just the bookworms the world thought about us . Last week we met CA Abdul Nasser, who was the first CA to conquer MT EVEREST. And that exactly was our aim.

We are looking forward to great year ahead. A year filled events, programs and meetings to empower our students, to lift their communication skills, to enrich their personality with good vibes and knowledge, to make them a commander of their life. So I implore you my friends, to join us and make this year a memorable one.
