Umarda 478:~ Surat is the heart ofthe diamond processing indusrty in India, with the largest number of diamond factories employing a total of over 2,00,000 artisans. The annual production ofcut and polished diflmonds from Sural alone is valued at about Rs.l 0,000 million. Today, most of the diamond factories are established at any place in Sural without sufficient planning. 30 artisans work at a time in 'gala' (i.e. 9 meters long and 4 meters broad room) without sufficient ventilation, lighting, sanitation, modern machineries and equipments, fundamental employee welfaie schemes etc. In short, diflmond units are found in tiny and dingy rooms., which can scarcely be called a work place. This adds congestion in the city. Considering the above situation, the need for all round improvement was felt in order to consolidate Indios position in the world diamond industry. To meet these challanges, Diamond and Gem Development Corporation evolved and developed an ideal "Diamond Industrial Park" spread over 110 hectares at Sachin Village, just 12 km. away from Surat city. It is developed with the active support ofHindus tan Diamond Company and with the help and co-operation of Government of Gujarat, as well as diflmond traders and manufacturers. There will be plan about 1,000 industrial units, each measuring 81 sq.mls. a/which 220 units are ready and lZO more units will be ready shortly. The remaining units would be also constructed. Each units is scientifically designed to create the best possible working environment with good na~'1.rallighting, safety, security ventilation and other related factors.
