Leather City of the World

Situated along the banks of the Ganges River, Kanpur is often referred to as the "Leather City of the World," serving as the epicenter of India's leather production. However, beneath this industrial success lies a harsh reality: the city's residents endure deplorable working conditions, earning meager wages barely sufficient for survival. The majority of the population is forced to consume water contaminated with toxic chemicals, a grim reflection of everyday life in Kanpur.
