What every genuine philosopher (every genuine man, in fact) desires most is acclaim– although the philosophers generally call it ‘recognition’!
– William James
Pertinently quoted that Appreciate everything that you and your comrades do for the professional. Nothing else can quite substitute for a few well-chosen, well-timed, sincere words of acclaim. They’re absolutely free and worth a fortune. For the profession of Company Secretaries, the real day for paving the way towards real admiration, recognition and credit was June 15 in 1988, wherein the Company Secretaries in Practice were accorded recognition for Certifying the Annual Returns under the erstwhile Companies Act, 1956.
In last, 29 years of this historic day, the professional commune is persistently coming forward while establishing their expertise and specialization in varied areas of compliance and governance. With the significant role, company secretaries are playing as the dedicated governance professionals, it would appropriate to mention that with transforming India, role of Company Secretaries has also be transformed in setting the advanced parameters of effective and justifiable governance throughout the nation.
