The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council of India (GJEPC) and the Kashmir Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI) recently held an interactive session aimed at strengthening cooperation within the gem and jewellery sector.
Key figures in this discussion included KCCI President Javed Ahmad Tenga and GJEPC Chairman Vipul Shah, along with other notable representatives from both organisations.
Collaborative Discussions and Initiatives
The meeting provided a platform for both organisations to discuss pivotal areas such as sector development and skill enhancement initiatives.
The KCCI delegation highlighted the unique potential of the Blue Sapphire from the Bhaderwah-Kishtwar mines. In response, the GJEPC offered support through free participation space for Kashmiri jewellers at their forthcoming exhibitions, which KCCI accepted.
Exhibitions and Training Opportunities
GJEPC presented on their various national and international activities, including their skill development institutes. They also extended offers for scholarships and concessional admissions to a range of courses across India. These initiatives aim to enhance the skills and knowledge of Kashmiri jewellers.
Regional Development
This meeting is a step towards regional development within the gem and jewellery sector. The inclusion of Kashmir-based jewellers in major exhibitions allows them to showcase their products on a larger stage.
By availing of the scholarships and training courses, Kashmiri jewellers can enhance their craftsmanship and adapt to modern trends, which is crucial for sustaining competitiveness in the market.
