Draft CS (Amendment) Regulations, 2019 A Step Towards Implementing & Executing Vision New ICSI 2022
THE INSTITUTE OF
Company Secretaries of India
IN PURSUIT OF PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE
Statutory body under Act of Parliament
(Under Jurisdiction of Ministry of Corporate Affairs)
“For the soul there is never birth nor death. Nor, having once been, does he ever cease to be. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain”.
To align it with the Institute, it would be to say that “People may come and people may go, but Institutions, and one of the stature such as this one, go on forever”. And for things which are here to stay, plans are made not just for the day but ages ahead.
Taking the reference from the above shloka, in the year 2017, ICSI had envisioned Vision New ICSI 2022 to align the Institute with the New India of 2022 which was adopted and released at the Inaugural Ceremony of ICSI Golden Jubilee Year on 4th October, 2017. While developing a vision, is in itself a grand initiative, what holds greater significance is its implementation and it is with the intent of implementing the vision that the process to redraft the CS Regulations was initiated.
Draft Company Secretaries (Amendment) Regulations were approved by the Council and submitted to Ministry of Corporate Affairs for approval.
The recently placed draft Company Secretaries (Amendment) Regulations, 2019 for public comments) are a proof of the commitment of the Institute to implement the Vision New ICSI 2022 in true letter and spirit.
We enclose a brief write up covering the key initiatives under the proposed CS (Amendment) Regulations, 2019 and request for valuable views / suggestions of the stakeholders in strengthening self-governance of the Institute and accomplish the Vision of a New ICSI way ahead of 2022!!!
Looking forward for your views & suggestion by September 19, 2019 at suggestions@icsi.edu
