Message from the Principal
 
 Syed Muhammad Zafar-ul-Iman
 

Since the inception of GJTMC at Karachi, this has been an honor for me to serve the Pakistan Gems and Jewellery Development Company as principal of the institute. The company entrusted me and held me responsible to fulfill their dreams of establishing a center of international standard at the stage when the present building had yet to be converted to a proper institute and academic programs were still to be planned. With the Grace of Almighty ALLAH and the guidance of PGJDC Management, within a very short span of time the efforts of my dedicated team yielded fruit and we succeeded in achieving our objectives.
Efforts for progress and up gradation of the institute is continuously going on. Now it has been planned to initiate diploma courses along with the certificate programs, therefore, preparations for introduction of Diploma Course in Jewellery Manufacturing and designing in the next session are at final stage.
It is expected that the journey of trust, cooperation, guidance, teamwork and successes which started a year ago will continue with the same zeal and zest in the future as well. I feel it is my moral duty to pay regards and thank to all of my seniors and colleagues for the guidance and cooperation offered by them in every respect.

This type of diploma program will be introduced in Pakistan for the first time. Three new short courses in the area of Gems and Jewellery will also be introduced very soon for the Jewellery Sector.
