The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) will be celebrating CA Day on the 1^st July to mark the day of its foundation. Various programs and events are going to take place in different offices and branches situated across the country for this celebration.

Udaipur’s CIRC branch of ICAI will be celebrating the occasion in a unique way. The celebrations will consist of a day long program consisting of various social, educational and entertaining functions including an inspirational talk show by Praveen Mehta – National Faculty of Art of Living, a CA Quiz and Housie program by CA Vinod Chandra Vyas, a ceremony to commemorate senior CAs of the organization who served for more than 30 years in the field, a blood donation camp at the branch office and free distribution of educational materials like books and uniform to needy children.

Established in 1984, the Udaipur branch of ICAI consists of 637 members and more than 3000 students which are registered under the branch. The office of the Udaipur branch is located in Sec 14, Hiran Magri Udaipur.

“Over the last few years, CA Day has gained popularity among the (professional) community. Though the day has its utmost importance since the year 1949 when Chartered Accountants were registered under Chartered Accountants Act 1949, it’s a special day for us when we get opportunity to come together, meet with our families and do some work for social causes,” says CA Sudhir Mehta – President of the Udaipur Branch.

A CA plays a crucial role in maintaining the economic conditions of the country and government authorities. Not only this, the CA is often termed as a task maker in the development of social infrastructure of the nation.

Over the last few years, this profession has attracted many students to pursue Chartered Accountancy as a career. In Udaipur, there are more than 2000 students pursuing CA in the year 2011. Last year saw six students from Udaipur being selected for different courses including CPT, PCC, Final and DIRM.

Nearly 162,000 CAs across the country are registered under the ICAI which has its head office located in New Delhi.

“I would like to wish a very happy CA Day to all my colleagues, their families and the citizens of Udaipur. I would also like to give my warm wishes to our doctors on Doctor’s Day which also falls on 1^st July,” said Sudhir Mehta, while talking to UT.
