Leather industry is the 4th largest export earner in India & we seem to be putting our best foot forward in the footwear & leather industry. The popularity of this field among job seekers & a dearth of skilled technicians who can handle world class machinery have led to an increased demand for formal training in leather technology &footwear design. As a result there are dozens of institutes which now offer certificates & diploma courses in this field.
