The first is aimed at boosting the state’s share in the export of leather and non-leather products and attracting investment. It also aims at technology upgradation and modernisation, launching training programmes to improve quality of products, create a workforce for the industry and provide jobs.
The state government had recently sent teams to China and Japan to attract investment in this sector. It is developing mega leather parks in Kanpur, Agra and Unnao.
Nearly 44 lakh jobs are expected to be created in the sector in the next five years, the state government said.
The second policy will allot land to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) at low rates, according to media reports from the state.
Parks for the MSMEs are being developed in a nearly 700-acre area. Allotment of land for the MSME would now be done through a bidding process on the GeM portal.
