My Dear Beloved Students,
“The true value of independence in realized through education, as knowledge empowers a nation.”- Dr. B.R. Ambedkar
Wishing everyone a happy 77th Independence Day and congratulating every Indian on the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the south pole of the Moon.
During the 77th Independence Day celebration, our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi announced that India is among the top three economies in the last five years and I would like to add upon that without the constant efforts of us Chartered Accountants, it would have not been successful. And as I always say that we all must embrace that ‘I am the I of ICAI’.
The period from 16th July to this day has been another exiting time for EICASA with an innumerable list of events:
Half Day Seminar on How to Choose Right Firm for Articleship on 22nd July 2023 with speakers like CA. Niraj Agarwal, CA. Vivek Agarwal, CA. Sanjib and CA. Yugantar Gupta. A number of students turned out for the programme.

All these events were successful only because of the efforts and support of the members of EICASA, Regional Council Members and the official team of EIRC-ICAI. I convey my warm regards to every participant and I am thankful to everyone who contributed to the events to make them a gainful and successful one.
As Browning said Petty Done, Vast Undone, - We can feel that there is many more to be done for our beloved students and it is a continuous process where there should be no ceasefire.
TEAM EICASA and all its imaginations and initiatives are the manifestation and resultant of our basic philosophy of never-say-die attitude which stems from the fact that alone we can walk, together we can win defeating our meaner selves. Hence, do not subdued by the howling of time, rather tame the time and harvest every benefit.
Signing off just to get back to you with more resources for the days to come.
With warm regards,
CA. Sanjib Sanghi,
Chairman, EICASA of EIRC, ICAI (2023-24)
