To mark the Teacher’s Day, the Institute of Charted Accountancy of India (ICAI) organised an essay writing competition on Tuesday. The topic for the essay competition was ‘My Principal My Teacher.’
As many as 35 articleship CA students participated in the essay writing competition. They wrote about their Principal and what their principals mean to them. Some of them went creative and wrote about the lessons their principal had taught them.
ICAI Chairman CA Anup Shrivastava said that a teacher is like a potter who gives a perfect shape to his student. The important role played by the Principal is very well appreciated by the Chartered Accountants and aspiring CA Students.
The essay competition on this topic was organised to strengthen the relationship and bond between Articles and their Principal and also to ensure that Chartered Accountants pay respect due to their Principal. “The objective is to strengthen the lifetime bond that has been fostered over the three years period of Article Training”, he added.
He further said that on Teachers’ Day, a Principal has a dual role to play. He has been an article and is now a Principal and can well appreciate this relationship. On one hand, as an article, he would always be filled with thankfulness for continuous knowledge and experience shared by his principal and on the other, he would keep inspiring hope and instilling the love for learning to ensure that his articles turn out to be successful professionals.
It is to be noted that it was a national level contest. The essays will be sent to New Delhi’s office and after the evaluation winners will be announced.
