Brick making is itself as ancient as human civilization and it is seen that the greatest architectural wonders and immortal monuments were built with brick besides stones and marbles. Today, from humble dwellings to modern skyscrapers and labyrinthine structures, brick forms the most important building material and it cannot be imagined a construction in the exclusion of bricks is important that bricks are assumed as a building material because of their durability, strength, reliability, low cost, and easy availability. In many countries, construction accounts for about 60 percent of the plan outlays all over the world, and out of this, bricks account for more than 40 percent. The brick industry, which is essentially a labor-intensive industry, provides employment opportunities to a vast workforce of around several million people in India. It provides direct employment to billions of poor families and indirect employment to millions of people. As large-scale construction of high-rise housing and business complexes gained momentum, modern architecture, and the usage of various building materials such as brick became inevitable. The present case study will be useful to the cement-based industrialist, consumers, government, and policymakers as well.
