Abstract:
In India, shoes are manufactured by cottage, small-scale and large-scale industries. The large scale industries (14 in No. produce less than 7%. Rest of the 93% of the production is done by cottage and small-scale industries and most of the work in these units are done by hand. There is not much difference in between cottage and small-scale industries, except the fact that in the cottage industries there are only 3 to 4 workers while in small-scale industries the no. of workers is much more. Certain small scale units have installed machines which bring quality in shoe manufacturing and also increase the production.
