The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) proudly hosted the 8th edition of its charity dinner, ‘Jewellers for Hope,’ at a glittering event attended by industry leaders and philanthropists. With the backing of Lead Partner De Beers, Associate Partner – World Gold Council, and Powered by GIA, the event once again garnered overwhelming support, raising an impressive Rs. 1 crore from jewellers. The proceeds were donated to Relief Projects India, an NGO supported by Bollywood leading man Vicky Kaushal.
Vicky Kaushal personally attended this event on behalf of Relief Projects India and spoke about the organisation and the impact it has created in India. Relief Projects India is a dedicated non-profit trust committed to making a positive impact on the lives of the less fortunate through education, health, and awareness initiatives. The NGO’s primary focus lies in addressing critical issues such as female infanticide, foeticide, boy-child preference, and the challenges faced by women and children in rural villages.
Addressing the attendees, Vicky Kaushal expressed deep gratitude to all the donors for their unwavering support. He acknowledged the profound impact their contributions would have in transforming the lives of many, contributing to nation-building and creating a ripple effect of positive change.
Vipul Shah, Chairman, GJEPC said, “Since its inception, the gem and jewellery industry has been at the forefront of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, embracing the ethos of giving back to society and fostering unity for a common cause. Through the noble platform of ‘Jewellers for Hope,’ the Council has championed several meaningful causes, encompassing education, women’s empowerment, sanitation, and more. This year, we are delighted to extend our support to Relief Projects India, an impactful NGO endorsed by the esteemed actor Vicky Kaushal. Their dedication to addressing critical issues such as female infanticide, foeticide, boy-child preference, and the challenges faced by women and children in rural villages aligns perfectly with our vision. We are optimistic that our collective efforts will bring positive transformation and make a lasting impact on the lives of the less fortunate.”
