In view of the demand to train manpower of the footwear industry, a footwear design and Development Institute (FDDI) is being set-up at IMT Rohtak, Haryana and an exhibition-cum-display centre for the goods manufactured from leather would be set-up by the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Centre (HSIIDC) at Bahadurgarh.
While stating this here, a spokesman from Industries and Commerce Department said the FDDI would cater to the needs of trained manpower for the present requirement and future expansion of the industry and provide all technical value-added services for the global competence of the industry.
