Advisory Board

Shri Anjan Sen

Former Senior General Manager Finance (CA), Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). He joined us after he retired from TCS when he came back from Mumbai in 2016. At That time we were groping to fulfill the accounting requirements of different PSUs. 

Funding increased and so was the need for keeping proper accounting and control was felt. Then Mr. Sen was attached to us. He has expertise in designing financial systems and Internal Controls. We appointed him for bringing our so-called note based bookkeeping to proper formal accounting. And then started the journey, from excel to Tally and now QuickBooks. Our accounting, record keeping internal controls, and Reporting gradually grew into a robust system, any funding agency/donor now can rely upon. He also visited our project site at Sundarban and also reviewed documents produced for fund utilization. Today we are up-to-date in respect of filing requirements with statutory bodies because we derive authentic numbers in time.
