ICAI has a proud legacy of contributing to national causes and supporting citizens during times of crisis. During the 1971 Indo-Pak War, ICAI members provided pro-bono services to the families of martyrs. In the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic, ICAI extended support to grieving families, offered scholarships to students who lost parents and waived fees so the dreams could continue. Members of the Institute also organized food drives, blood and plasma donation camps and vaccination camps not only for our members but public at large.
Through our Regional Councils, Branches, Overseas Chapters, Study Circles and Study Chapters, ICAI바카라s special COVID Task Forces delivered critical aid 바카라 including oxygen cylinders and concentrators, arranging for hospital beds, medicines, ambulances and meals. Several branches also donated vital supplies to hospitals, strengthening local healthcare infrastructure when it was needed most.
These contributions are not just statistics they are the footprints of compassion of the ICAI fraternity to our Mother India. As a trusted partner in nation-building, ICAI remains committed to support the Armed Forces, the Prime Minister and the citizens of India. The Institute continues to inspire financial professionals to rise beyond the profession and lead with patriotism, compassion and unwavering duty to the nation.
