Still we are short of 1665 for 10000 mark

We are enclosing the list of members who have joined that period for your ready reference

Yesterday NDTV coco cola fund raising , the cricket gaint mr.Sachin Tendulkar commented which inspired me.

Be good human being first, If possible, we should help others. Cricket, money power, political power everything are temporary one. Today it will come but one thing is permanent is that if you are good human being . He also commented that everyday, you should thank god for being in the world.


Nice message by Mr.Sachin Tendulkar. Life is temporary one. Nobody knows what will happen next second. Whatever available time, we should atleast think of helping others. The thought of helping to others will come as first step. Then we consider to donate money for the fund as a membership or an additinal amount.

We request all of you to consider to join the fund if not joined earlier

We also request CSBF members to make additional contribution of Rs.100 per month For example if you pay rs.100 atleast 60% of the members contributes then Rs.6 lakhs per month and total Rs.72 lakhs additional amount avaiable to the corpus.

We don't need to request our members to join the fund. Any body voluntarily join, it is welcome. Those who have joined, if they are ready to contribute additional amount, the institute definitely come forward to increase the compensation at higher amount.

LET US JOIN FOR MASS REVOLUTION

LET US SEND POSITIVE MESSAGE THAT ENTIRE CS FRATERNITY READY TO SUPPORT FOR THE NOBLE CAUSE

WE SHOULD AVAIL THE OPPORTUNITY GIVEN BY THE GOD TO HELP OTHERS

LET US SEE SMILE IN THE FACE OF LEGAL HEIRS OF OUR CS MEMBERS

LET US SEE INCREASE IN COMPENSATION TO RS.10 LAKHS AND CORPUS OF RS.10 CRORES AND MEMBERSHIP OF 10000 - FIRST MILESTONE IN OUR ICSI HISTORY.

WAKE UP CALL

AN APPEAL TO ALL COMPANY SECRETARIES

Dear Friends
We are all comes under one umbrella i.e. Company Secretaries and some of them working , some of them are in practice and some of them in other fields.
Everywhere competition is there and Company secretaries field also no exception.
Some of them employed in reputed company and some of them employed in small and medium size companies. The same case in practice also, some of them having reputed organization and some of them are having small and medium size companies.
Each one is concentrating our own family. Let us also to take a small step to cater to the need of our fellow members by way of contribution to Company Secretary benevolent fund.
Recently two of our young company secretaries expired and they are not member of the fund. The fund provision stipulates to pay Rs.30000/- to non member of the fund.
In order to make it attractive, we all join together to contribute as life member and yearly also we need to contribute.
Way Forward : We need to see big movement to as many as company secretaries to join the fund to enable the institute or council members to increase the compensation both member and non member. Out of 28000 members, only 8000 are members. Remaining are not a member. One after another shocking news, we need to take a call and there should be a mass movement to enroll ourselves to strengthen the benevolent fund committee members to increase the compensation multifold. Let us join together and the contribution will make smile to legal heirs of our fellow members.

We also attach brief note on cs benevolent fund.

LET US JOIN FOR NOBLE CAUSE AND COMMON CAUSE

Benevolent fund update

Dear All

Let us rise above suggestions and take concrete action. Some of us are really working hard on CSBF.

We don't have to prove to others. Please remember, this is a noble cause and I can assure each one of you that the amount of satisfaction you will drive out of it, will be tremendous. Just try it out and approach 5 friends of yours to make them Members of CSBF. Then see the morale boosting of yourself and others.

All of us are working for Corporate Sector and in various other organisations. Lets try our respective positions for this noble cause and see if we can mobilise funds for CSBF from our Organisations, Vendors, Printers etc. Just for information, last week, I could get a cheque for Rs.6 lacs from Jaypee Group. Last year I could get Rs.15 lacs from my Company and a very big amount through my known & personal resources during the Cultural Evening organised at New Delhi when we could add over Rs.55 lacs to the corpus of CSBF.

Friends, you have to just realise your own potential and I am sure of your capabilities. The question is only of time & priorities.

Good luck to all.

ICSI President Page - August 2011 edition chartered Secretary

Dear All

To my memory, first time President's Page contains CS benevolent Fund contribution appeal message in August 2011 chartered secretary edition I am reproducing the same

"The CS Benevolent Fund is an effort in extending support to our members in times of distress. Keepiing in view the importance of financial assistance in demanding times, it has been my endeavour to strengthen the fund and expand its membership so that adequate financial support is made available to the needy ones. I appreciate the efforts made by Headquarters, Regional councils and Chapters in their initiatives in increasing the corpus of the fund."

We will come the initiative from President to include one paragraph in his address to the members for noble cause. Like Annual conference, for requesting members to participate, the same way we also request existing members to make an appeal to others to come and join for noble cause. Finally it is a voluntary appeal.,

LET US GIVE HELPING HAND FOR NOBLE CAUSE

SERVING HUMANITY IS EQUAL TO SERVING TO GOD

News update

Only 25 members added from 21st June to 20th July . Currently the membership stood at 28336. Total no of members joined the benevolent fund is 8276.

It is just 29.20% of total members joined the fund since its inception.. Majority of the members not yet join the fund. This may be due to various reasons. One of the reason is lack of awareness of the fund existence and its features to the cs fraternity.

I fully agree with the views of our senior member Mr.Madhavan P B that ICSI should concentrate to provide medical assistance to senior members who are above 65 years. ICSI should initiate necessary arrangement for yearly medical check up of those members. We need to take care of our elderly persons. Currently fund concentrate to relief to legal heirs and sick persons .

Institute will consider to take necessary steps to inititate yearly medical check up of elderly persons above 65 years. This facility will be available to only those who are members of the fund.

Myself and few other like minded members going to join yearly contribution of Rs.12000/- to the fund for the noble cause. Our Senior members and council members has already contributed to Rs.418000 ( Rs.12000 each) within 2 days after that the initiative was dropped once for all. .Let us revive the same.

LET US CONTRIBUTE FOR NOBLE CAUSE

LET US GIVE HELPING HAND FOR NOBLE CAUSE
