India's efforts to offer more comprehensive training to jewellers have been given a lift with the help of new software from Dassualt Systems.

Reuters reports that the French company, which provides simulation software, has launched a jeweller-training centre.

The company's software reduces costs and cuts development time, as it enables manufacturers to experiment with several ideas.

The Indian government has recently made known its commitment to gold and the country has seen several jewellery training centres open, in an effort to bolster gold jewellery sales.

'Gold jewellery is an extreme focus product for the government. Utmost efforts have been made to increase exports of gold jewellery, both plain and studded,' commented commerce minister Kamal Nath at a recent launch.

India is the world's largest consumer of gold and has approximately three million artisans and goldsmiths.
