DIAMOND RECESSION: 603 KIDS LEAVE SCHOOL

As the world’s largest diamond cutting and polishing centre in Surat grapples with the challenges of recession, with more than 50% of the diamond units still closed following the Diwali vacation, another startling development has emerged. In the Varachha area, approximately 603 children of diamond workers enrolled in the Nagar Prathamik Shikshan Samiti (NPSS) schools run by the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) have discontinued their studies and have been issued Leaving Certificates (LC).

Varachha, a center for diamond production, hosts tens of thousands of diamond workers residing in rental accommodations.
