MISCELLANEOUS OCCUPATIONS

PHOTO-FRAME MAKING

There are very few shops of this kind in the district and they are mainly in the big towns only. They are mostly located in a busy locality, requiring a small accommodation and managed by the owner proprietor. The tools and equipment required for this occupation consist of a small hammer, nails, scissors etc. while accessories include ply-wood, sheet glasses, pictures, cardboard etc. All these articles are purchased from the local market.

The occupation requires small initial capital investment. The working capital usually depends upon the business undertaken. From the survey of a few establishments it is found that the medium size establishments invest about Rs. 1,000 as capital and earn from Rs. 100 to Rs. 300 per month. The establishments are generally housed in rented premises and the rent varies from Rs. 5 to Rs. 50 per month.

The frame makers are not found to follow the technique and methods followed by their counterparts in big cities and towns like Bombay, Nagpur or Poona.
