he Institute recognized Ahmedabad – Baroda Chapter of Cost Accountants as a first chapter in Gujarat in 1965. It was a joint chapter between Ahmedabad and Baroda City. In 1968 Baroda was awarded an independent status and separate chapter known as “Baroda Chapter of Cost Accountants”. Initially the chapter office was run from the residence of a senior Cost Accountant. Later the office was shifted to M.C. High School, Salatwada, and the coaching classes for the intermediate students were started.
The Chapter had to shift its office and coaching classes from place to place till it established its own premises at Second floor, Sharda Apartment, Mama’s Pole, Kothi Char Rasta, in 1986. . Later on in the year 2000, the Chapter bought its new premises at 2nd and 5th Floor, Phoenix Complex, Sayajgunj. Presently Chapter is running its classes at this premise – I think 5th floor was bought earlier, around 1997 or 1998 and 2nd floor much later in 2007 or 2008.
