The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), India’s premier body driving the growth and promotion of the nation’s gemstones and jewellery industries, hosted the 46th annual India Gem & Jewellery Awards (IGJA) on 27th August, 2021. The Award, set up 45 years ago to honour India’s leading exporters of gems and jewellery, has for the 5th year in a row recognised our beloved foundation, Gajera Trust — for the meaningful education and healthcare initiatives implemented through the year, at the Vatsalyadham orphanage and Shantabaa Medical College & General Hospital. For all of us at the Trust, this award, lifted for the fifth time in as many years, is testimony to the impact that our focus, dedication and hard work is having in the areas of social, educational and healthcare advancements.
Vatsalyadham, our home for orphans in Kamrej and Shantabaa Medical College & General Hospital, Amreli, and the collective endeavours of everyone there have resulted in the IGJA choosing us as the Most Socially Responsible Company in the industry.
