Abstract

India is the second largest producer of tea plantation and biggest consumer of the tea. The biggest production of tea in India is at Assam, west Bengal Kerala and Tamilnadu. Most of the tea workers in northeastern India are descendants of tribal communities from other Indian states who were brought to the tea estates as bonded or forced labor during India’s colonial period. They have retained a distinct sociocultural identity, including languages and customs which are different from those of the local populations in Assam and West Bengal. Jobs on the tea plantations are traditionally passed from one generation to the next. Having limited access to education or economic opportunity outside the tea plantations, tea workers are highly dependent on their employers. Irony is the condition of tea plantation workers are not less then pathetic they have been keeping away from all the basic needs like drinking water, toilet facility, proper sanitation, clean environment, they also not provided basic health and medical facility . This paper will offer an clear analysis of condition of tea plantation workers and tried to find proper remedies to improve their conditions. This paper will argue government to take stringent action against owners of the plantation fields and helping workers to get necessary basic living condition
