New Delhi, Feb 11 (KNN) The government has allocated an outlay of Rs 990.36 crore for the Indian Leather Development Programme (ILDP) to be implemented during the 12th Plan period, towards the overall development of the leather sector.
ILDP has six sub-schemes such as Integrated Development of Leather Sector (IDLS); Support to Artisan (STA); Human Resource Development (HRD); establishment of institutional facilities; leather technology, innovation and environmental issues; mega leather cluster; and projects for installation/upgrading common effluent treatment plants, said Minister of State for Commerce and Industry, E M Sudarsana Natchiappan in Lok Sabha yesterday.
IDLS is aimed at enabling tanneries, footwear, footwear components, leather goods and accessories, leather garments, harness and saddlery manufacturing units. It would help units upgrade themselves leading to productive gains, right-sizing of capacity, cost cutting, design and development including simultaneously encouraging entrepreneurs to diversify and set up new units.
STA on the other hand promotes the clusters at various forums as they are an integral part of rural Indian economy and have potential for generating local employment and export.
The sub scheme HRD targets potential leather work force all over India. This project trains and prepares individuals to work in industrial units.
Establishment of institutional facilities would provide infrastructure by way of establishing two new branches of FDDI to meet the growing demand of the Leather Industry for footwear technologists, designers, supervisors and mechanics.
The mega leather cluster aims at providing infrastructure support to the leather industry by establishment of such cluster which would assist the entrepreneurs to set up units with modern infrastructure, latest technology and adequate training and HRD inputs. (KNN/ST)
