Dear Member,

"Mid May" the country is in the midst of a heat wave. Environmentalist attributes it to the Global warming. Due to this the weather is manifesting the signs of change.

While talking about change as the cliche goes "Change is the only that is Constant". Change is good for growth. Let us adapt to the changing environment. Let us grow and mature with change, to the advantage of ourselves and society. The Global economy too has been undergoing a paradigm shift due to developments and knowledge explosion. This has led to increased opportunities in business investment and profession.

India is termed as "Giant in Leaps" or "An Elephant in stride". It is not a mean phrase. The changing landscape of India in terms of the youthful population, an intellectual youth, growing industrial capacity and a very vibrant economy adds to the shine and glitter. On the flip side lack of electricity, poor farmers’ lack of safe drinking water and lack of basic amenities is a contradiction in terms. The society of haves and have nots. In this changing scenario where do we stand. Let us add to the glory and reduce the suffering of the have nots let us bring about the change in the lives of our fellow beings.

The Ministry of Company Affairs did not wish to miss the bus in the changing ‘E’ world. In the process it introduced the much ambitious scheme "MCA 21". The scheme is welcome and the objectives are laudable. However, the scheme is introduced without adequate awareness being created and lack of training on the part of the regulator, the beneficiary and professionals who are the intermedianes. Complaints have been received from members that there are delays in getting work done. The Chamber is organizing a programme to educate the members of MCA 21.

Let us rededicate ourselves to this great institution ‘The Chamber’ of which we are members. Friends it is this sense of belonging which motivates you to contribute to the growth of ‘The Chamber’.

My best wish to you and your family for the summer.
