India today launched the Skill Certification Assessment for Leather Employees (SCALE) app that offers a one-stop solution for the skilling, learning, assessment and employment needs of the leather industry. The app was launched by minister of education and skill development Dharmendra Pradhan during a visit to Central Leather Research Institute, Chennai.

The Leather Skill Sector Council developed the Android app SCALE to change the way skill development programmes are designed and delivered to trainees in the leather industry, according to an official release.

The SCALE Studio app allows people interested in leather craft to access live-streamed classes from the state-of-the-art studio at the office of the council.
