Ever since its inception in 1999 Gem & Jewellery National Relief Foundation (GJNRF) has taken several initiatives to help and better the lives of the victims, who suffer as a result of natural calamities, besides giving aid and relief to other worthy causes.

GJNRF has provided relief and successfully completed several rehabilitation projects after Kargil war, Odisha cyclone, Gujarat earthquake, Floods, Draught, Bomb blasts and Terror attacks.  It has done significant relief work during covid-19 pandemic.

GJNRF has always focused on ensuring that trade workforce is also well cared for.  It has given education scholarship to nearly 40000 children of the trade artisans. It has provided free vaccination to approx. 9000 daily wage assorters and artisans during Covid pandemic.  GJNRF has also provided financial grant to families of 504 artisans who lost their lives in the pandemic.

At present there is a recession in diamond industry.  This has affected earning of the artisans and they are unable to bear their household and other day to day expenses.

To support the loyal workforce of the industry in this critical time, GJNRF has distributed approx.7000 grocery kits with the financial support of GIA to the needy trade artisans in the various diamond cutting and processing centers of Gujarat i.e. Bhavnagar, Surendranagar, Botad, Umarala, Vallabhipur, Palanpur, Deesa etc.  The distribution was carried out with the help of the local Diamond Associations.
