Gemological Institute of America (GIA) India organised the GemKids programme for the students of V.N. Godhani English School in Surat with the purpose of igniting a lifelong love and passion of gemstones. More than 70 students from fifth to ninth grade attended the programme.
GIA India instructor Vijay Parmar shared insights and facts on a variety of gems. The programme offered students an opportunity to learn about gemmology through hands-on activities using natural minerals and gemstones. Divya Ben Gajjar, principal of V.N. Godhani English School, said, “We appreciate GIA India and their team’s effort for encouraging and guiding our students towards a new journey.”
Nirupa Bhatt, managing director of GIA India and Middle East, said, “Kids learn from what they see and observe. We were thrilled to see a great response from the students and grateful to V.N. Godhani English School for their support.”
