A Study about Socio-Demographic and Socio-Economic Conditions of the Tea Workers of Assam (A Case Study of Darrang and Sonitpur Districts of Assam)

Author(s) Dr. Namita Sarma
Country India
Abstract Tea is a popular and heavily demanded beverage in India. It originated in China and was later introduced to India by the British. Tea cultivation began in Assam in the early 19th century. Assam tea is famous for its bold, malty flavour and antioxidant properties. Tea garden labourers perform a very crucial role in our society. So it is pertinent to look into the socio-economic condition of this section of our society. This is a study about the socio-demographic and socio-economic status of the engaged workers of two main tea garden concentrated districts of Assam. A primary survey is conducted in Darrang and Sonitpur districts by selecting randomly nine tea gardens. Various information regarding age, sex, educational status, religion, marital status, household status, employment status, monthly income status, etc, has been collected using a standardised questionnaire. Also, some relevant data have been collected for the study, such as food habits, health status, etc. Study reveals some issues of the workers like low wages, poor sanitation, limited access to health care, and education, although they avail themselves of the facilities through the management provided by governmental and private agencies. Data analysis of the study draws attention to the fact that women are the backbone of the workforce in the plantation estates. Traditionally, women have been employed in plucking because they are seen as having greater dexterity for handling the leaves.
Keywords Tea Cultivation, Socio-Economic Conditions, Socio-Demographic Conditions, Tea Garden Labourers, Monthly Income Status.
