`Corpus needed for eco-sustainable development of leather sector'

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI, JAN. 30. The leather industry and the Council for Leather Exports (CLE), a body sponsored by the Union Ministry of Commerce and Industry, recently made a presentation before the Central Planning Commission for the creation of a corpus to facilitate eco-sustainable development of the leather sector, the CLE executive director, S. Audiseshiah, said today.

As maintenance of effluent treatment plants was becoming expensive and as they required constant upgrading, the Commission's intervention was sought. The corpus scheme could be run on the lines of a public-private partnership programme, he told presspersons here.

Habib Hussain, chairman of the southern region of the CLE, said the State Government had set up a footwear complex through the State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu in the SIPCOT industrial park at Irungattukottai, near Sriperumpudur. Giving details of this year's India International Leather Fair (IILF), which will be inaugurated on Monday, M. Rafeeque Ahmed, chairman of the CLE, said efforts were made to provide representation to member-countries of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation. "We want to make this fair a South Asian exhibition in the years to come."
