Analysing the team at Creative Center at Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers, NSDC chose VBJ as training partner, to develop the jewellery skill set to represent India in the global forum at World Skill Competition. Mr. Sanjay Pramanik, who won the 2nd prize at France Skill Competition (VBJ), will represent India again at World Skill Competition at Kazan, Russia in 2019.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Amarendran Vummidi, Managing Partner, Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers said: “Skill building is a crucial tool to increase the efficacy and quality of labour to improve productivity and catalyse economic growth in the country. Knowledge and skill development are the drivers of economic growth and overall development of any country. Skill building is a powerful tool to empower individuals and thus at VBJ, we wish to support the WorldSkills India initiative to ensure the wealth of Indian cultural artisanship be carried forward through the fine craftsmanship of the bespoke pieces of jewellery at VBJ."
