    (Language in India, 2013-08-08) C, Athena
    Brick-making is one of the most ancient industries. India is the second largest producer of clay fired bricks, accounting for more than 15 percent of global production. India is estimated to have more than 100,000 brick kilns producing about 150 – 200 billion bricks annually. Brick industry in India is employing large number of migrant workers including men & women and even children who work in the kiln on a temporary contract and low wages. Hence the researchers have made an attempt to study the socio economic condition of the brick workers in the selected brick kilns of Coimbatore.
