Surat: Chief minister Vijay Rupani said that the state administration is planning to set up a gems and jewellery park in the Diamond City. Rupani, while speaking at the 46th India Gems and Jewellery Award function, said that the Surat diamond industry has set global trends in recent times.
Every year the Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) announces the award to honour extraordinary performers of the sector.
“Diamond industrialists have shown the world that they are good not just at polishing diamonds and designing jewellery but also at setting global trends. Diamond industry has the ability to change adversities in opportunities,” Rupani said in his speech.
“Attempts are being made to develop a world class gems and jewellery park in Surat where manufacturing to sales, export and all other facilities will be made available at one place. Gujarat has received 40% of the total FDI of India and we are creating infrastructure to achieve further targets of growth,” he added.
The grand award function held on Friday was attended by industry leaders from Gujarat and other parts of the country. Also present were state BJP chief and Navsari MP C R Paatil, minister of state for health Kishore Kumar Kanani and GJEPC chairman Colin Shah.
“The industry has registered 18% growth in the past 18 months. Surat will become a leading jewellery hub in the near future,” said Colin Shah.
Govind Dholakiya was conferred with the lifetime achievement award during the function. “Always work with loyalty. Also, strive to grow a combination of skill, technology and hard work,” Dholakiya told the younger generation.
