“Skill, Scale and Speed” -industry is capable of creatingsizable employment opportunityin line with Hon’ble PM’s vision

The initiative of the Council taken few years

ago to organize a product specific show on

fashion jewellery & accessories is an

important step towards promotion of

exports of this product segment, where the

world demand is continuously on the rise.

Indian fashion jewellery and accessories are

known world over for their exquisite

workmanship, finish and unique designs

which represent Indian ethnicity besides

being contemporary and modern. There is

tremendous potential for growth in exports

of this product segment and I am confident that the exporters

are already taking appropriate steps to tap the opportunity.

I wish the event a grand success and extend my best wishes to
