A new India is not possible without a new Odisha, contended Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Dharmedra Pradhan at the valedictory ceremony of the National CA Conference 2017 held here on Sunday.
Pradhan urged the CA fraternity of the State as well as the guest CAs to think beyond singular topics like GST and demonetization and focus more on the overall growth of Odisha as well as the country.
“A new entrepreneurship eco-system is required along with making the State a manufacturing hub to create a new Odisha,” he said.
He thanked the ICAI Bhubaneswar Branch for organising such a national event in Bhubaneswar when it is emerging as a vibrant city in the country.
The two-day conference was attended by around 1,200 CA delegates where reputed Chartered Accountants like ICAI President Nilesh Shivji ICAI CCBMP Chairman Mukesh Singh Kushwah and Vice-Chairman Rajesh Sharma, Chairman Manish Goyal, EIRC of ACAI Ranjeet Agarwal, Organising Committee CA Sarat Chandra Bhadra, Bhubaneswar Branch Chairman Rashmi Ranjan Mishra and Secretary Sugyan Kumar Sahoo deliberated on taxation, accounting and finance in six different sessions.
