Health and Educational Scenario of Tea Plantation Workers

By Dr Mriganka Chakraborty

Health and Educational Scenario of Tea Plantation Workers" delves into the unseen lives of the people who shape India's favorite beverage. While tea is cherished across the globe for its flavor and healing properties, the tireless effort of plantation workers often remains hidden behind every cup. This book presents a comprehensive study of the health and educational conditions of tea plantation workers in the Cachar district of Assam, highlighting both progress and persistent gaps. Drawing on in-depth field research from four selected tea gardens, the author also examines the implementation of the Plantation Labour Act, 1951 - a key legislation designed to safeguard worker welfare. A timely contribution to both academic literature and social policy, this work invites scholars, policymakers, and the general public to reflect on the lives of those whose hands harvest more than leaves - they sustain tradition, community, and livelihood.
