A ‘centre of excellence’ would be set up on the new campus at a cost of ₹14 crore, in order to promote efficiency and innovation in leather industry, Union commerce and industry minister Suresh Prabhu said while inaugurating the new campus located in a mega industrial park on the outskirts of Patna city.
The institute aims to meet the shortage of trained manpower in India’s footwear design industry. It is equipped with modern machines and equipment for cutting, finishing and making computer-based designs. Around 300 students would pass out from the institute every year. (RKS)
