Brick industry is labour intensive and it creates a larger number of jobs for agricultural labourers particularly during the stack agricultural season. Moreover, brick industry is generally energy intensive and bricks are fired by using various sources of fuels. These fuels include firewood, sawdust, coconut shell etc. it is a well-known fact that clay is the basis for brick production. Local clay is used to produce bricks. Sand is sometime added to get the right properties.
