1 July is observed in India as National Doctors’ Day and Chartered Accountants’ Day. National Doctors’ Day is dedicated to appreciating the role of doctors in society, as they work tirelessly to treat patients, save lives, and maintain public health. The day also pays tribute to Bidhan Chandra Roy, a legendary doctor and statesman whose contribution to medicine and public service is highly respected in India. On the same day, Chartered Accountants’ Day is observed to mark the establishment of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India in 1949. It recognises the vital role of Chartered Accountants in maintaining financial discipline, managing accounts and taxation, and ensuring transparency and accuracy in financial systems, which supports the smooth functioning of businesses and the economy.
