Piyush Goyal, delivered an address on "Viksit Bharat@ 2047 - The Road Map," outlining the future trajectory of India’s economic development, at the 38th Regional Conference of the Western India Regional Council (WIRC) of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), in Mumbai.
Speaking on the occasion, Shri Goyal, a Chartered Accountant himself, said, "ICAI has prepared us to become good citizens". The rigorous course, having high quality curriculum that the Institute continuously revamps, has made this one profession which evolves with time and helps to see things with a wider world perspective, he added. The courses that a CA and law student undertakes prepares them to serve the nation and to take the Indian economy from 3.5 trillion to 35 trillion dollars when the country will celebrate 100 years of Independence, he further said. He urged all CAs to become ambassadors of Viksit Bharat and said that their hard work will bring about development of the country. In the next 6-8 years, the number of CAs will increase to 10 lakhs, he added. He further urged them to provide comments and suggestions for simplifying IT Act and other acts and rules for decriminalization of provisions, easing compliances and Ease of Doing Business. He also adviced budding CAs to learn about AI, Deep Tech, Machine Learning and master all new technologies.
Addressing the members of ICAI, he further said, "In the coming years, 4 lakh+ CAs will be at the forefront of crafting the future of India". He added that the country's farmers, factory workers, doctors, engineers and various professionals are working to make India grow.
