Commenting on the change of dates of IIJS 2006, Mr. Bakul R. Mehta, Chairman, GJEPC said, “ After we announced the dates for IIJS 2006, the Council received numerous requests from the members and trade fraternity to shift the dates due to the auspicious festivals 'Akshay Tritiya' and 'Baisakhi'."

"The two festivals are of immense significance to the trade across nation, as majority annual sale takes place on these days. In acknowledgement of popular demand the Council has decided to postpone the show by a week to suit the requirements of the Indian gem and jewellery fraternity .”

Bullish on the prospects of IIJS 2006 Mr. Mehta stated, “ We hope that the upcoming IIJS 2006 will further build on the success of the previous shows and continue to provide a platform for the Indian as well as international gem & jewellery industry to showcase their strengths and capabilities .”

IIJS 2005 attracted over 25,000 domestic visitors and 1500 international visitors resulting in an approximate increase in business by 20%as compared to the previous year. IIJS has been an important platform for networking and business, and is a vital tool of the industry for future growth.
