MAPUSA: The Governor of Goa P. S. Sreedharan Pillai, inaugurated the Annual General Meeting-2022 of the India Association of Hallmarking Centers at a function held at Arpora, Bardez today.
The Governor, while addressing said approach of purity in terms of Gold, must be applied in everything. Hallmarking of Gold ensures the purity of Gold and transparency in its dealing.
After extending a warm welcome to the stakeholders of all India hallmarking centres, the Governor called upon them to travel to find the true hallmarking system necessary in Gold to ensure its purity!
The Governor highlighted the importance of hallmarking and said most people use Gold, and we have to apprise people about its purity.
“Cheating misappropriation in the trade of Gold and silver is bound to happen, but through hallmarking, these malpractices can be checked. Therefore the relevance of this organization is important,” he opined.
The Governor speaking further called upon the stakeholders of hallmarking who deal in ensuring the purity of Gold not to undermine their responsibility towards people.
He said Gold is an expensive metal, and just by looking at the piece of jewellery, one cannot define whether it is made of pure Gold or mixed metals.
“And without the confirmation of the purity, a buyer can end up paying more than the actual worth of the Gold. Once you have spotted all four signs of purity on the gold piece you are purchasing, you can be sure of the purity and fineness of the particular item,” he said.
Uday Shinde expressed his views on the occasion.
Ex. VP IAHP, Mr Basantraj H. Mehta, was conferred the lifetime achievement award by the Governor.
