He also highlighted the importance of tax payments for the development of the country and the opportunity lying ahead among the commerce students to work as tax consultants.
In the advent of India's Act East Policy, Commerce Stream should take special responsibility in developing human resources that could face the upcoming challenges.
There is need for special emphasis to impart knowledge about Foreign Trade, Export/Import mechanism and other professionals in commerce like Chartered Accountant (CA), Cost and Work Accountant under ICWA, Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Company Secretary (CS), Income tax consultant, etc.
H Deleep Singh emphasized on the development of commerce education in the state with special attention towards the commerce education in higher secondary level.
He said that we have come through the darkest period of the history of Manipur, but now light started showering on us.
He also said that our youths who were working in other parts of the country now have a tendency to come back in the state.
We need to broaden the employability in state in order to accommodate them also.
Even though rewards may not be higher, but most of the commerce graduates and masters are being employed in government as well as private sector firms.
The inaugural function of the workshop has been participated by 53 participants including lecturers and Assistant Professors from various Higher Secondary Schools, Colleges and University.
