Chairman’s Message on International Women’s Day

It gives me immense pleasure to greet all the lady officers & staff members of the Income Tax Department on the occasion of Women’s Day today.

It is said that the best way to change society is to channelize the inherent strength & potential of women in every walk of life, for, there is no force more powerful than a woman determined to rise.

Often, we leave our appreciation unspoken. So, on this Women’s Day, I take this opportunity to appreciate the many roles that you play, the many hats that you wear & the difference that you make in so many lives. The compassion & the dignity that you bring in your contribution to the Service & to the Organisation is manifold.

You can do almost anything that you put your mind to as your potential is limitless! I hope that you will continue to contribute to the IT Department with as much fervour & sincerity as you have done in the past. I wish you the best in all your future endeavours.

Best Wishes,
(Sushil Chandra)
