Dear students

Dawn of yet another SICASA year!

 It gives me immense happiness to write to you through this medium, it reminds me of my article ship days, 2 decades back. The challenge of connecting with CA students of this millennium is that they must receive good at large in letter and spirit in the wake of new and daunting issues they are presented with. I had a very good interaction with a group of SICASA members a few days back and it gave me the vibrancy and vigour to do right to them. The bonhomie and camaraderie they maintain among them, the energy and righteous spirit emboldens me too .

This is my first communique with students after taking up the coveted office of SICASA chairmanship. The SICASA would be holding an election to the managing committee very soon. I earnestly urge all students to come on board of SICASA and get connected to a large group of more than 7000 students attached to the Ernakulam branch of Southern India Regional Council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

As all are aware our SICASA has won  all India best branch after a long gap under the able guidance and supervisions of my predecessor CA Salim A. Kudos to the entire Managing Committee of SICASA and the students for their hard earned success. The Managing Committee of the branch in its first meeting was discussing “breaking the barrier” in terms of achievement and it gives me a humongous challenge to perform better than my predecessors.

 As far as a CA student is concerned, not just academics but other aspects like physical and mental fitness is given a goby during exams and office assignments. My intention is to give a mixed bag of physical, mental and academic erudition to excel in exams and profession along with leading a healthy and happy life.

 A detailed yearly colander incorporating a mix of academics, art, culture, social responsibility, physical and mental fitness has been circulated among students for their comments. Once the new committee is formed, an array of programmes to equip students to face challenges both physically and mentally will be organised.

The theme for the month of March is Banking and Fintech. The month of March invariably comes with a seminar on bank audit and this year too is not an exception. We have planned an array of programmes both academics and otherwise, which will be communicated to you in due course of time. I am sure you will be eagerly looking forward to participating in all the activities conducted.

Before I lay down the pen let me thank the managing committee of the branch for giving me this opportunity to connect with a vast line up of students and keep my spirits up in tune with young students! I end by quoting Arthur Ashe,

“ Start where you are. Use what you have, do what you can.”

Happy reading !
