Research and development

IDI has an established R&D centre which is registered with Government of India, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Ministry of Science & Technology.

Mandate The R&D centre is mandated to:

Give scientific and technological support to the diamond industries to upgrade the processing technology. Develop indigenously low cost technologies for import substitution products used in the diamond industries so as to help the country to save foreign exchange and also reduce the cost of processing. Carry out in-depth studies on illumination and noise levels, thermal load, air velocity etc. to improve environmental conditions of the processing unit Bring awareness amongst workers about the use of modern machine concepts and quality control checks to improve productivity, efficiency and yield.

Memberships and Affiliations IDI has technical collaboration with Gemmological Association (Gem A), London and operates as an Allied Teaching Centre of Gem A for FGA programme (Fellow Member of Gemmlogical Association (Gem A), London (Diploma in Gemmology). IDI has been accorded with recognition as a Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation (SIRO) under Department of Scientific & Industrial Research, Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India. It has been also recognised as Anchor Institute (Gem & Jewellery) by Industries Commissionerate, Government of Gujarat. The IDI is ISO 9001:2008 certified for design, development and provision of training, consultancy & certification services related to diamonds, coloured stones & jewellery (vide Certificate No. 44254 issued by M/s. ABS Quality Evaluations, Inc.) The Institute is also a member of many organisations such as:

Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, New Delhi and (IIFT). Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). Indo-American Chamber of Commerce, Ahmedabad (IACC). Indian Society for Training & Development (ISTD). The Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SGCCI),

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Indian Diamond Institute

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Indian Diamond Institute claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Indian Diamond Institute before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Indian Diamond Institute ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Indian Diamond Institute

In research: Indian Diamond Institute appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Indian Diamond Institute in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Indian Diamond Institute is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Diamond industry in India, Education in Surat, Gemological laboratories, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Indian Diamond Institute outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
