Union Minister G Kishan Reddy laid the foundation stone for the new building of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) Hyderabad Chapter at Anandnagar Colony. The event witnessed the presence of over 200 dignitaries, professionals, and students.

The upcoming five-storey, 11,086 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility will be developed on a 500 sq. yard plot, with an estimated investment of Rs 10 crore. Slated for completion in 15 months, the new centre will include a multi-purpose hall, conference facilities, counselling centres, classrooms, a moot court, and a modern library, designed to foster professional development and student training.

The Hyderabad Chapter, one of the most dynamic among ICSI’s 74 chapters, was established in 1974. It boasts over 2,000 members and 6,000 students.

Highlighting the significance of Company Secretaries in India’s corporate landscape, the Minister said, “India is fast approaching the $5 trillion economy milestone. In this journey, corporate governance professionals will play a pivotal role.” He emphasised the growing global demand for Indian talent and encouraged ICSI to position India as a leader in intellectual property and corporate governance.
