COMPASS 2005

Scheduled for March

Computer Association of Eastern India (COM-PASS) is gearing up
for its annual event Compass 2005 scheduled from March 11 to 15, 2005. Moving
away from its annual ritual of holding the exhibition in February every year the
Association has decided on holding this exhibition in March, informed COMPASS
President Narender Dhanuka. The recently elected team of office bearers decided
on the postponement to leverage on the budget as well the zero duty structure,
and prepare for VAT regime. "The situation will be very fluid to hold the
exhibition in February," said Dhanuka. On his agenda is to meet the
challenge of borderless trade nationally as well as internationally. Recently
for the first time COMPASS organized a camp for sales tax registration to a
massive response. The 260-member strong association is also looking forward to
swelling its membership base. "That is one of our prime objective,"
said Dhanuka. The Association is determined to focus on healthy growth of trade
by organizing seminars that are relevant to the trade and the members,
organizing fellowship programs so that a cordial relationship develops amongst
members and sending regular newsletter so that members can keep in touch with
the latest. "We also plan to introduce the concept of Corporate Membership
for leading IT companies," said Dhanuka.
