Kiran Gems extends to support Mission Education program for the girl child

In the vein of its social initiatives, Kiran Gems Pvt Ltd., the world’s largest manufacturer of diamonds, undertook a new project, joining hands for the first time with the organisation - Smile Foundation. The collaborative effort is towards providing quality education to underprivileged children through the Mission Education program. The partnership began with extending Education Support to 100 girls, on a pan India level. Kiran Gems undertook the mandate to sustain all the education and nutrition requirements of these girls, for the entire academic session.

According to the company, ‘Education’ and ‘Health care’, feature as the top priorities among its other ongoing social initiatives. With this initiative Kiran has stepped forward to expand its Girl’s education program to Pan India level. The company reasons the initiative with the fact that girls and women are the first to be affected in the challenging social set up and could also influence the family for the better if educated.

Mr. Dinesh Lakhani, Director Kiran Gems said, “It is our small start towards addressing the ‘Female Education program’ at pan India Level with Smile foundation. We look forward to support more candidates under the ambit of this program in the future.”
