GJEPC INITIATIVE

Swasthya Kosh

GJEPC offers a specially designed and highly subsidised health insurance policy to all
Parichay Card holders. The card holders need to pay only 25% of the premium and for
the remaining 75% premium will paid from a fund created by GJEPC which has been
named as 'Swasthya Kosh'.

Swasthya means health and Kosh means fund. The fund has been established to seek
monetary contributions from anyone in India or abroad who wishes to make a significant
impact and touch the lives of the skilled artisans of the Gem & Jewellery industry in India.
GJEPC has contributed Rs. 3 crores to launch the fund. GJEPC will be approaching the
industry and the government to contribute to the fund as we estimate that atleast Rs. 500
crores are required to cover the entire workforce of the industry. The scheme will also
offer an 80G tax benefit to the any institution or individual who donates for this cause.

The money collected from the fund will be utilised towards paying health insurance
premiums of the Parichay Card holders who are primarily contracted workforce of the
gem and jewellery industry. There is s till a significant section of unattached workers who
are not represented by any organisation. Through Swasthya Kosh, GJEPC we will be able
connect with those lives, which till date no industry has covered.

If you wish to make a significant contribution to enhance the lives of the workers
employed in the gem and jewellery Industry kindly drop and email at:
