Bricks are significant basic material of construction required in all spheres of constructional activities and constitute about 13 percent of
the total cost of building material required for construction. It has been established that the use of clay bricks provide a superior and
comfortable physical living environment than the use of alternative walling as far as residential construction is concerned.
Despite all initiatives to introduce alternative walling materials like compressed earth block, concrete block and fly ash brick,
it is envisaged that burnt clay bricks would still occupy the dominant position.
 
The demand for bricks have been increasing year by year with the increased building construction activities in private/Govt. sectors
as well as various projects/development activities envisaged by the central/State Governments. A significant change is taking place in
the building habits of the region by way of tendency to shift from the traditional Assam Type housed to RCC type housed using bricks.
That is why Bricks industry in the region has been registering a steady and significant growth over the years.
