Let me begin with few questions. How many of you participated in the recent India International Leather Fair (IILF 2018) held at Chennai from 31st January to 2nd February 2018? What was your experience; did you put up a stall and did the Leather Fair help you in improving your business prospects? I spent some time at the Fair, visiting the stalls and talking to people, and I was highly impressed with the presence of so many countries. This shows how much of our business is dependent on imports and exports. Leather is truly a global industry with a wealth of opportunities that remain to be tapped. At the same time, it can be a source of livelihoods for leather artisans, traditional leather processing units, large leather and non-leather production houses and above all, several designers who are contributing to making the products as per international standards. In the inaugural session of the Trade Fair, Shri Suresh Prabhu, Minister for Commerce and Industry unveiled the special package of Rs.2,600 crores and advised the industry to adopt latest technologies to upgrade machinery and develop the skills of workforce at all levels. LSSC is keen on skilling the workforce that contributes substantially to export revenues.
