For the leather sector, opportunities with Africa and accessing new technologies for treating sheep skins would be explored. Additionally, CII's Visionary Leaders for Manufacturing Programme with a target to develop 500 Visionary leaders will lead resurgence of Manufacturing over the next three years.
