While our Central Council is busy sanctioning over Rs 100cr for branch buildings across the country, i think we all need to introspect and ask an important question - ' What are we doing for students ' ??? The fees have increased multifold ..( one of my CA friends told me the other day that his sister has paid around Rs 9000 to register for IPCC ...well we paid probably not more than Rs 10,000 for the entire CA course - CA Foundation, CA Inter and CA Final taken together!!! ) but what services ( apart from administrative ) are we offering the students?
So, instead of just complaining, we have decided to be proactive. Along with a few like minded CAs, we have formed a chartitable trust which will work towards providing infrastructure for CA students in Pune...the name of the trust is Pune CA Students Society.
For the just concluded May examination, we made available a reading room in BMCC college exclusively for CA students. And for the November exam, it gets better..our trust has tied up with BMCC and Garware College. Garware college has agreed to provide 2 reading rooms in addition to the one already being provided by BMCC.
Students are the future torch bearers of our profession...they are the ones who need the best possible infrastructure that shall hopefully help them to achieve their educational dreams!
cheers
