This Chartered Accountant runs 'Super-45' for CA aspirants: Details here

Chhawchharia runs the 'CA Stars Program', a special and comprehensive education program, in Surat for CA aspirants from financially weaker backgrounds.

Every year, around 45 students are chosen for the program and provided free coaching to prepare for the CA exams.

Chhawchharia, who is also an author, has been teaching such students for free under the program for three years now.

Every year, after selecting 40-45 students for the program, Chhawchharia uses an all-round teaching methodology to help them prepare for the CA exams.

Apart from training, his institute also provides food and accommodation facilities for four years at no cost for students coming from outside Surat.

A majority of the students belong to small towns and villages and come from non-English medium government schools.

Students are chosen for 'CA Stars Program' by Chhawchharia through an exam, following which the financial status of those who have qualified is assessed.

According to Chhawchharia, many of his students, CA Stars, are the first-generation learners of their families. Most of their parents are small farmers, rickshaw drivers, low-wage workers, footpath vendors while some of them are orphans.

"These children come from a very humble background. We arrange food and lodging for those coming from outside Surat," CA Chhawchharia was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

"We select students through a test, assess their financial status by visiting their houses, and enroll them. 90 per cent of them cleared the CA exam in last three years," he said.
