Automation of Aligarh lock industry and income-expenditure pattern of workers

FOCUS

Students enrolled in the M.A. Development programme at Azim Premji University (APU), Bangalore,  undertake a field project consisting of research, action-project or intervention in areas such as rural livelihoods, disability rights, agriculture and land rights, citizenship and identity, gender and sexuality. The project entails 30 weeks of research, fieldwork and analysis at the end of which the students present their findings and observations through posters and presentations.

The poster by Shubham Sharma studies the changes in the lock industry of Aligarh due to the introduction of automated processes. It notes that the shift from traditional, manual methods to automation has brought about increased efficiency and production capacity, but it has also led to job displacement, income inequality, and the marginalisation of skilled artisans.
