In the processing sector, India was losing its edge and nearly one million jobs were at stake, he said. "We must procure rough diamonds and protect the jobs of one million skilled workers. We want to procure rough diamonds from South Africa," he said. "Our mission is to enable every individual associated with the Indian gems and jewellery industry to achieve his full potential," he added. "The study will help us understand the future action that GJEPC would need to take to bridge the gap between the demand and supply of rough diamonds available," GJEPC's Vice-Chairman Vasant Mehta said. The Diamond Trading Company has assured the industry that it would take steps to ensure the supply in the future, he said. Meanwhile, as a part of making India the preferred source for quality gems
and jewellery, GJEPC has taken major initiatives to promote Indian jewellery to
end users in markets such as the US, China, Middle East, CIS, Russia. |
