Here is a rephrased version of your text:

The Bangladesh Jewellers’ Association (BAJUS) is set to mark its 60th founding anniversary with nationwide celebrations on Thursday (17 July).

Founded on 17 July 1966, BAJUS has grown into the largest trade body in the country’s jewellery sector. Now entering its 60th year after completing 59 years, the organisation continues to play a pivotal role in uniting over 40,000 jewellers across 491 upazilas, according to a press release issued on Wednesday.

This year's anniversary theme, “BAJUS on the Way of Success with Tradition,” highlights the enduring contributions of Bangladesh's jewellery industry.

To commemorate the occasion, BAJUS has lined up a series of festivities including vibrant processions, cake-cutting ceremonies, banner and poster displays at key locations, decorative lighting, and discussion events.

BAJUS President Sayem Sobhan Anvir and General Secretary Badal Chandra Roy have extended heartfelt greetings to jewellery shop owners and customers across the country. Anniversary committee chairman MA Wadud Khan also conveyed his warm wishes to the nation.

Speaking on the occasion, Wadud Khan noted, “Around 4.4 million people are directly and indirectly engaged in the jewellery sector. With the right policy support, incentives, and tax reforms, this industry has the potential to emerge as a major contributor to the national economy—much like the ready-made garment sector.”
