The Law and Justice Minister is likely to call upon experts to frame a credible, actionable roadmap to deter white-collar crime and protect the integrity of India’s growth story, advancing PM Modi’s vision of a Viksit Bharat 2047, the statement said.
The conference, at Bharat Mandapam in Delhi, will be attended by a broad cross-section of professionals, including former CBI Special Director Rakesh Asthana, lawyers, chartered accountants, company secretaries, and cost accountants, with the aim of nurturing a national collective of whistleblowers, it said.

Himmath Jain, National President, TPF, said: “White-collar crime is not just an economic offence; it is a moral breach that erodes public trust. TPF Dayitva is our call to conscience. If we cultivate trust in our system, awareness of our civic duties, and confidence in personal integrity, we can transform into a nation of collective whistleblowers, standing united against white-collar crime.”
Raj Kumar Nahataa, National Convener, Terapanth Professional Forum (TPF), outlined the objective of the discussion and said, “Our aim is to align professional excellence with ethical responsibility. Laws and institutions matter, but they must be reinforced by personal duty.”
