NEW DELHI, Mar 5: Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh said today that in the making of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “New India”, Chartered Accountants can be the catalysts of economic reforms.
Addressing the inaugural session of the Orientation Programme for newly qualified Chartered Accountants here today, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the fraternity of Chartered Accountants, though very small in number, enjoys the privilege of being the ‘agents of change’ in an evolving world and evolving India. They also hold the key to decide the determinants of the nation’s economy dynamics, he said.
Referring to a number of revolutionary decisions taken by the Modi Government, including the implementation of GST and Demonetization, Dr Jitendra Singh said, these are some of the reforms which were meant to clean the economy of India, to eradicate parallel economy and to enrich the State exchequer to supplement the funding for a host of pro-poor schemes announced by Prime Minister Modi. In order to ensure a successful outcome of these reforms, he said, the Chartered Accountant community can play a crucial role with professional uprightness, integrity and honesty.
The young Chartered Accountants, Dr Jitendra Singh said, are not mere Chartered Accountants, but are also an important component of the 70% youth population of this country. To that extent, therefore, he said, they also have an opportunity to play a vital role in the rise of India as a front-line nation of the world.
Chairman, Committee for Professional Accountants in Business & Industry (CPABI) Dhiraj Kumar Khandelwal, Chief Coordinator, Rajesh Sharma and Secretary Atul Gupta also spoke in the inaugural session.
