Abstract:
The Leather Industry is one of the oldest and traditional industries, which
are mainly concentrated in the cottage and smallscale
sector in India. There are
hardly a few largescale
organized units in India, which account for less than 8 %
of total output of children shoes in the country. The rest is made in cottage and
smallscale
sector.
Making of shoes with hand made process is a skilled job of crafts and due
to this reason like other crafts shoe making is also restricted to certain places like
Agra, Kanpur, Delhi, Calcutta Madras & Bombay and to particular community of
workers.
