The Institute in the meanwhile advertised for the position of Secretary and no one joined for different reasons. Saharya (then ROC of Delhi) was requested to continue till a regular wholetime Secretary could be appointed. DCA permitted about 10 Govt. staff , working earlier in the CS Branch, to serve the Institute on deputation until Institute could establish its own Secretariat. With the limited finance available to the Institute, the Council decided to have an Asst. Secretary only in the initial stage, to perform the duties of Secretary. Santhanam, who joined as Sr. Assistant on deputation was promoted as Superintendent and was asked to officiate as Asst.Secretary till a regular Asst. Secretary could be appointed. This was the scenario in February 1971. The Council decided to scrutinize the list of GDCS qualified persons and made a panel wherein my name also appeared. After interviewing the panel candidates, I was finally selected and offered the post through the Ministry of Defence where I was then working. I accepted the offer and joined as wholetime secretary in the rank of Asst. Secretary on the Tamil New Year day, 14th April, 1971. At the first meeting after I joined, Krishnan as President set an aggressive target including holding of an All India Conference of Company Secretaries in May 1971 in Chennai, maintenance of an Employment Register for qualified GDCS, to revise syllabus and practical training requirements, to establish four Regional Councils with necessary regulations, to establish library in HQ, to provide library facilities in all RCs, to publish a regular journal for members, and to take steps for obtaining a plot for the Institute in Delhi. Accordingly, with the assistance of my limited staff, we organized the first All India Conference of Company Secretaries on the role and responsibility of company secretaries, in Connemara Hotel, Chennai, on 21 & 22 May 1971. It was a great success, bringing visibility of company secretary as a professional on an All India basis, from North, South, East and West. R.Prasad, Secretary of DCA and our first President gave the cheering news that the Govt. is contemplating some amendments to Company Law to make it obligatory for companies above a particular size to employ qualified secretaries. Corporate bodies may not be allowed to function as CS, he said, perhaps intending to abolish the system of Managing Agents and Secretaries and Treasurers. He also desired to give a statutory status to the Institute and the CS as a professional. He expected that public and private sector would appoint a secretary as a necessity and not as luxury. D.L.Mazumdar and Bhaskar Mitter chaired two technical sessions and Justice Ram Mohan Rao spoke as a guest speaker. It was concluded that the status of Secretary ultimately depended on the individual himself and his total contribution to the corporate entity he served. In July 1971, I was asked to organize a function with Dy.Minister Bedabrata Barua as Chief Guest, to open a library, establish RCs, provide regulations for their working and start a journal. The function was successfully organised on 31st July, 1971 on the lawns of the Institute Sectt. office in No.1, Rani Jhansi Road, New Delhi. The journal named Chartered Secretary was released as a quarterly on that date. A library was opened in HQ, four RCs with territorial jurisdiction was notified on that date and honorary FCS was conferred on the past two Secretaries of DCA, R.C.Dutt and R.Prasad.
