Naveen requests setting up of a jems and jewellery training institute in Ganjam
July 8th, 2007
Following is Pioneer’s report on this.
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has written a letter to the Central Commerce Minister demanding to set up a Gems and Jewellery Training Institute in the State. In his letter, Patnaik made it a point that a large numbers of artisans in Ganjam district, who are engaged in cutting and fining gem stones in far away at Mumbai and Surat, would not migrate to these States if a Gems and Jewellary Training Institute is set up in Ganjam district.
There are numbers of gem stone mines in Orissa and the gems and jewellery products of Orissa artisans hold a considerable demand in foreign markets.
The proposed institute will positively play a leading role in enhancing the artisans’ skills and will also bring improvement in export of the items, said Patnaik. However, the Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council under the Central Commerce Ministry seems to be interested in setting up of the institute. The Chief Minister also has agreed to provide the land and other facilities for the institute.

It is good to hear that Mr CM has requested to establish institute. But whether we would be requesting all the time to be refused by the central govt. Mr. CM should learn management and should try to apply managerial capability in getting his requests fullfilled. I remember the report during NDA when Mr.CM of Andhra could get the signature of PM to send his MLAs for foreign training in exchange of the support he was extending at that time. The expenditure was huge and he could save the state’s exchequre from this massive expenditure.
I do have a strong feeling that our state should have good institutes for any developement to begin with. Institutes(religious,political,research,higher education etc) build the fabric of any state. Mr. CM should also take all the NRO(Non resident Oriyas) in to confidence who have no other interest than the developement of the state.
