Dear Esteemed Members,

As I, CA (Dr.) Vishves A Shah, stand before you today, taking the oath as your President, I am overwhelmed with a profound sense of honour and a deep responsibility. The faith you have placed in me is both humbling and inspiring, and I pledge to serve our esteemed federation with unwavering dedication and integrity. As you all know, I have served AGFTC for more than 10 years in various posts.

The AGFTC, with its illustrious history of over three decades, has been a beacon of knowledge and professionalism for tax consultants across Gujarat. We have grown from strength to strength, and today, we stand united, representing the interests of over 1700 individual members and 35 institutional members but at present 30 institutions are actively involved so I urge all others to also be active. It is a legacy that I am immensely proud to be a part of and one that I am committed to furthering.

As we embark on this new journey together, I want to assure you that the values that our federation stands for - integrity, knowledge, and service - will continue to guide us. We will strive for excellence in all our endeavors, foster a spirit of camaraderie among our members, and work tirelessly toward the betterment of our professional community.

In the coming year, our tagline is “सा विद्या या विमुक्तये” “Sa vidya ya vimuktaye” so we will focus on enhancing our knowledge educational initiatives, expanding our reach to the Mofussil areas, and strengthening our collaborations with the Government. We will also work towards making taxation laws more transparent and efficient, thereby contributing to the nation's economic growth.

I am confident that with your unwavering support and cooperation, we can achieve these ambitious goals and set new benchmarks of excellence. Let us work together, hand in hand, to make AGFTC a symbol of knowledge, service, and excellence.

Thank you for entrusting me with this great responsibility. I look forward to a year of growth, learning, and success.

With warm regards,
CA Dr. Vishves Shah
President, AGFTC
