Mr. Satyendra Tunkalia

Mr. B L Mantri

 Current situation of Gems and Jewelry trade has been discussed in the forum meeting today in Gulabi Nagar Vichar Manch on Sunday, December 27, 2009.

Mr. B. L. Mantri, Chief Speaker told that Jaipur is a traditional center of gemstones. Jewelers and gem dealers of Jaipur are renowned world wide. Jaipur has earned reputation and also earned money in this trade. However, the trade is facing tremendous problems since last one and half years.

Gems and Jewelry trade is victim of global recession and slow down. At least fifty percent of total godds manufactured in Jaipur are exported and consumed by the Americans. Hence, slow down in American economy has severely affected Gems and Jewelry trade in Jaipur.

He added that abundance of synthetic materials has also played its role to slower movements of gem stones especially semi precious.

Gopinath Pareek, Dr. Ritum Garg,  Rampal also contributed to the discussion and asked questions. Both the Chief guest and the Presiding dignitary have answered these queries.

Jyoti Kothari, proprietor Vardhaman Gems informed that Gems and Jewelry trade was very lucrative and fetched high margins in the past. Jewelers and gemstone dealers of Jaipur were highly skilled and earned hand ful of money in the past. Situation has turned now and they are facing world wide competition while buying rough gemstones overseas and selling cut and polished ones. margin of profit has too shrinked to survive.

Mr. Satyendra Tunkalia, President of the forum discussion  informed that Jaipur is shifting towards studded Jewelry from color stones. Abnormal hike in Gold and Silver price has affected studded Jewelry business severely. People face a budget constraint while buying studded Jewelry. He added that jewelers are shifting from 22 K and 18 K Jewelry to 14 K and 9 K gold in diamond studded Jewelry. Hike in silver price compels silver Jewelry manufacturers to use lower quality of silver.

Gulabi Nagar Vichar Manch 
Jyoti Khandelwal, Mayor Jaipur in Gulabi Nagar Vichar Manch om december 6

Meeting 1392, on November 29, 2009

Rampal garlanding Anil Kothari

President of Meeting

Audience seating in the Sun

Gulabi Nagar Vichar Manch forum discussed the topic " Rural Education in Rajasthan"  today. Educationist Dipankar Vishwas, Chief speaker told "Situation of rural education in Rajasthan was not good at the time of independence. It was among the most illiterate states of India".

The situation has been changed in last decade. Rajasthan is no longer at the top list of uneducated states. Number of good institutions are working in cities like Jaipur and Kota and other urban areas. Rural scenario has also been changed. All these become possible with the combined efforts of Government and private entrepreneurship. Public-private partnership has worked well in several places.

Non government and voluntary organizations have played key role in eradicating illiteracy along with the state government. Many voluntury organizations worked hard in this sector.

He especially reminded the works of Ekal Vidyalaya. They are working to educate tribes of Rajasthan in the remote areas. They run approximately 1500 tribal schools in Rajasthan.

Mr. Ramraj Gujar informed about the situation of rural education in Dausa district. Mamta Kothari told that state of women education in Rajasthan is improved. Girls are now started going schools. However, large number of older rural women are still uneducated. Adult education program did not help them much. Dinesh Kasliwal, Pradip Chouhan and Meenakshi also participated in the discussion.

Anil Kothari, Jeweler, Presided over the meeting. He told that rural artisans coming to work were mostly illiterates in last decades. Most of the new artisans are literate now. This has changed the business scenario.

Earlier, Rampal Garlanded the Chief guest and president of the meeting. Jyoti Kothari, Addl. convener of Gulabinagar Vichar Manch conducted the forum discussion. Tejkaran Parashar Extended the vote of Thanks.
