The camp is catering to people working in the tanneries and export houses, starting from business owners to workers as well as their family members.

Jagdish Gulati, President, Indian Leather Products Association, said, “The situation has been very difficult for the leather industry since the pandemic began. We want to ensure that all the people in the industry, from exporters and tannery owners to their staff and family members are vaccinated. We also aim to initiate vaccination camps in villages in and around the Calcutta Leather Complex.”

The vaccination Centre is located at the ILPA Tech School, which is originally a unit for Skill Development and Training run by the Association spread across 40,000 sq ft. area.
