RADIO AND WATCH REPAIRING

During the last twenty years or so the demand for radio sets and watches has considerably gone up and consequently a number of shops dealing with the repair and sale of radios and watches have come up. Most of these shops have been located in big towns and tahsil places such as Wardha, Pulgaon, Hinganghat etc. The tools and appliances required for such shops are varied and costly. The initial investment in these shops ranges between Rs. 500 and Rs. 2,000 in addition to the cost of radio sets and watches kept for sale. These shops generally employ skilled workers but the proprietor himself shoulders the responsibility of the business. Moreover they are supposed to be experts and carry out the mechanical works involved in the job. The skilled workers are paid wages ranging between Rs. 100 and Rs. 150 per month. The earnings of the shops vary between Rs. 180 and Rs. 300 per month and they maintain a constant business throughout the year.
