Corporate Insolvency and Restructuring have been approved by the
Council of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) and will be
launched soon, said Vinayak S. Khanvalkar, president, ICSI, in Chennai
recently.
He said web-based e-learning programmes launched by ICSI has met with
good responses from students and this included both the CS Foundation
course and the executive programme.
With global integration being the current trend, Mr. Khanvalkar said the
institute had entered into an MoU with the Capital Markets and Capital
Governance Institute of Maldives and the Securities and Investment
Institute of London.
ICSI had also been the first professional body to start the process of
setting secretarial standards and had recently released the SS-10

In future, ICSI would look to strengthen regional councils and chapters as
they were crucial in ensuring that both students and members received
quality services and inputs, he said
