GJSCI to certify 70,000 Zaveri Bazaar artisans, UN offers help

Mumbai, May 4 (UNI) In an attempt to organise the unorganised sector
of 'kaarigars' in the gems and jewellery industry, the Gems and
Jewellery Skill Council of India (GJSCI) today launched a
recognition of prior learning (RPL) scheme which will certify around
70,000 artisans from Zaveri Bazaar, who till now did not have any
proof to claim their skills.
This initiative will be pan India and employees from all over
the country will be certified as per national standards.
There will be two types of RPL, Scheme and Non-scheme. The
difference would be that RPL under scheme offers reward money on
being assessed and successfully certified and non-scheme does not.
Binit Bhaat, the chief operating officer of GJSCI, said, the
workers are not aware of their skills and so this certificate will
appreciate what they have probably learned through an informal way.
He also said that a Jewellery Park would be set up for Zaveri
Bazaar workers somewhere near Mumbai and the best of advanced
technology and safe environment would given to them.
''We are looking for a land in Thane, Kharghar or somewhere
near the city from where the artisans can continue their work. We
need at least 3-4 acres of land and provide them with residential
facilities like school, hospital, etc so that they can be relocated
smoothly. The proposed cost for lease is Rs 25 per ft with a lease
agreement for 99 years which targets especially the small scale
entrepreneurs,'' he said.
The programme also intends to teach those who wish to learn
the skill, Mr Bhaat added.
