At 71, this retired bank manager from Hanumangarh's Sangaria defied all odds stacked against him to crack the CA exam and script history. Rajesh Asnani narrates
-
A world that celebrates youthful achievement, 71-year-old Tarachand Agarwal from Jaipur has quietly rewritten the narrative of what's possible. The retired banker has passed one of India's toughest exams — the chartered accountancy (CA) final — at an age when most people slow down. With this, he hasn't just added a new feather to his cap but has become a beacon of inspiration for generations.
A result that made headlines On July 6, when the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) declared the CA final results, a name stood out — Tarachand Agarwal, a retiree among a crowd of mostly twenty-something aspirants. While most would hesitate to pick up an academic pursuit after retirement, Agarwal not only attempted it — he aced it.
