World leader (- -)
In the western Indian city of Surat , nearly a third of the population of 3.5 million work as diamond-cutters and polishers. According to industry figures, three-quarters of the world's diamonds are cut and polished in Surat .-- Nareshbhai Ishwarlal Degrawala and his two sons Alpesh and Sailesh work in the industry.--
Family business T T
After a quick breakfast,Oh Alpesh kick-starts his bike and, with his father on the pillion, traverses the roads of Surat to the factory, Karp Impex Limited, where they work. Nareshbhai has been cutting diamonds for 32 years now. Alpesh is relatively new to the profession - he has been there only five years----
Close watch - -
Security is tight at the factory. Workers are issued identity passes, which allow them entry into the workplace. Armed guards stand around the entry points, keeping an eye on the comings and goings.' Inside, close-circuit television cameras cover every bit of the factory, relaying pictures to a multi-screen. "But, we've never had any problems with our workers," says a Karp Impex official.---
Modern technology o_o
Karp is fully computerised. When Alpesh began work, computerisation of the industry had already begun. But father Nareshbhai says when he started work, the conditions were drastically different."We used to work in a hot, dark room, sit on the floor and work with our hands. "Today, we've got advanced tools; we sit comfortably on tables and chairs. And the factory is air-conditioned. It's much nicer now."---
