FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT

My Dear Professional Colleagues,

Theodore Roosevelt:"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to
succeed."
This is my last communication to you all through this journal, as President of
DTPA. We all are aware about the thing that had happened during this month.
On one side, India had celebrated its 72nd Independence Day and on the
other side, India had lost its Bharat Ratna on 16th of August 2018, our
renowned former Prime Minister of India, Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee. A deep
condolescence for him.
Through this journal, I would like to bring to you the evolution of our Association, which we have
wished to achieve. Also, I would like to express my gratitude tomembers who had joined this
association during this period. Our Association today has uplifted its image through various
modes of its presence and is further taking it to new heights with each passing day.

I'm feeling proud to inform that our association has taken a new step through launching of DTPA
mobile applications on 2nd of August 2018. Also, renovation of the DTPA library hall at ground
floor was made and inauguration ceremony of the same was held on 3rd of August 2018.
Moreover, 9 days “International Residential Seminar” to Mauritius and Dubai from 3rd of August
2018 to 11th of August 2018 was organized by our association. Also our association got a chance
to interact with CCIT-4, Mr. Rajib Kumar Hota at DTPA Conference hall on 30th of May 2018 in
relation to “Observance of Dedicated Fortnight for Appeal & Rectification Effects by the
Department”.
Since the day from which I was given the responsibility as the President till date, numerous study
circle meetings, Seminars and Conferences on emerging topics such as Real Estate Seminar
etc. have been held with eminent speakers from all over India which witnessed a huge
participation by our members.
Serving as a President of DTPA has indeed been a privilege, a great experience and….a major
challenge. As my time nears to step aside, I would like to respectfully express my gratitude to you
all, my friends and our members, for the honor bestowed upon me in granting me the opportunity
to serve you as your president and for supporting me to accomplish my plans. I hope I have
fulfilled the expectations placed in me.
I flag off for the last time from this communication by sincerely wishing that each one of you target
and achieve all your goals in life!

Please feel free to write to me on rkchokhani@yahoo.com
We from DTPA wish you an Enjoyable and Successful Life ahead!
With warm regards,

CA Ramesh Kumar Chokhani
President-DTPA
