Time spent on travelling - Important for all articles

Rider ride (CA Final) (180 Points)

20 December 2009  

 As you Know during our articleship we often had to travel to far flung places and even outstation. Generally it takes 1.5 - 2 hrs. (on one side) to travel to industries due to distances and traffic congestion.

 
These hrs. spent on travelling are no where accounted and ultimately a student had to suffer in form of  reduced hrs for study.
 
We students respect the rules & laws of our great institute but at the same time expect a reasonable and sincere approach from Institute towards student fraternity.
 
These Hrs. should be included in the " time served in articleship " since the travel is done for sole purposes of  audit ( training) .
I have already wrote to Secretary of ICAI and this has been forwarded to higher authorities for action.
 
response from all articles is important.
