International Customs Day – CBEC calls for Nominations for awarding Certificate of Merit … With a spelling mistake
INTERNATIONAL Customs Day is celebrated on 26th January all over the world, but unfortunately in India, this day coincides with a National Holiday. So, the International Customs Day is celebrated a day before or after January 26th depending on their holiday schedule. This time, the World Customs day is celebrated on 27th January 2011. On this occasion, the CBEC has decided to award “World Customs Organisation Certificate of Merit' to the representatives of the private sector or the academic field for their engagement with the Customs community and their contribution to the enhancement of knowledge in the field of customs law, procedure and administration.
In order to identify representatives of the private sector or the academic field for awarding this Certificate of Merit, CBEC has issued a Circular inviting nominations from the private sector, academic world and general public. The nomination should be sent by email as well as in signed hard copy in the format prescribed so as to reach them by 7th January, 2011.
DDT has been repeatedly insisting on appointing proof readers in the Board. In this Circular, wherever “World Customs Organisation” appeared, it was typed “Word Customs Organisation”.
