  In this report we study how a light-scalar leptoquark could affect the Higgs
boson production cross-section at the LHC collider. We construct the most
general renormalizable and gauge invariant effective Lagrangian involving the
standard model particles and a scalar, isoscalar leptoquark, \eta.
  The total cross-section for pp -> H+X is then calculated for different values
of the unknown parameters \lambda_eta, m_eta and m_H.(Here \lambda_eta is the
coupling associated with the Higgs-leptoquark interaction.)
  We find that if \lambda_eta is moderately large and m_eta is around a few
hundred GeV, then the cross-section is significantly larger than the standard
model value.
