Feeling so happy and proud to become a Chartered Accountant at a young age, the boy hailing from a poor fisherman family thanked his parents for their support and expressed his gratitude to a faculty member of accounts department, M. Masillamani Ravi, for his guidance.
He was also thankful to Anne Jose J, Chairman, Tuticorin branch of Southern India Regional Council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, and its members.
