INDIAN CARPETS INDUSTRIES SCENARIO Indian carpet industry is primarily export oriented industry. There are 1215 carpet manufacturing units recorded Out of 190 are in the organized sector and the rest are in small
scale industry sector. It also experienced a major set back during 1996 -2000 due to
the involvement of the child labour, it implied special measures ;
1. Rugmark labels
2. Kaleen labels These labels ensure the non involvement of child labor. These types of brand should be made & also grading of carpet
according to the various stage of production from fiber to final carpet like use of raw material wool, spinning, dyeing, weaving etc. which will be helpful for the Indian carpet industry.
