GJEPC has joined hands with the Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) to nurture the growth of Kashmir's jewellery sector. A recent meeting organised by the GJEPC Regional Office in Delhi brought together industry leaders, including Mr. Anil Sankhwal, GJEPC CoA Member and Director of IIGJ-RLC and IIGJ-D and Mr. Javid Ahmed Tenga, President, KCCI, to explore collaboration opportunities.

The partnership aims to enhance jewellery exports from Kashmir by providing comprehensive support, including training, market access, and industry exposure. As a result of the collaboration, the KCCI has committed to participating in the upcoming IIJS Premiere 2024 and has expressed keen interest in organising outreach programs in Srinagar. Additionally, a group of aspiring jewellery designers from Kashmir will undergo training at IIGJ Delhi.

This strategic alliance marks a significant step towards empowering the jewellery industry in Kashmir and unlocking its potential in global markets.
