Abstract	This study explores the socio-economic conditions and the push and pull factors influencing agricultural labour in Haryana, India. Haryana, a prominent agricultural state, exhibits a unique socio-economic landscape that significantly impacts the labour market. The research delves into the intricate relationship between economic conditions, demographic variables, and labour dynamics within the agricultural sector. Key push factors identified include declining agricultural productivity, low wages, and lack of social security. Conversely, pull factors such as employment opportunities in urban areas, higher wages, better living conditions, and healthcare drive labour migration. The analysis employs both qualitative and quantitative methods, including surveys and interviews with agricultural labourers, to provide a comprehensive understanding of their living and working conditions. The findings highlight the need for policy interventions aimed at improving agricultural productivity, ensuring fair wages, and enhancing rural infrastructure to mitigate the adverse effects of labour migration. This study contributes to the broader discourse on rural development and labour economics, offering insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners focused on improving the livelihoods of agricultural labourers in Haryana.
