IN the light of these facts the removal of unemployment and poverty in general and uplift of agricultural labour the direct producer and the poorest among the poor-was set as an objective to find urgent attentions of the planners and policy makers. It was first thought that growing industrialization of the country would lessen the burden of population on the land in rural areas and would lead to labour demand which in turn, with rising productivity, would increase in rural wages and thus uplift the level of agricultural labour. This hope got strengthened with the start of green revolution based on modernization of agriculture with technological diffusion.

The study presented in this book have explored the various issues related to agricultural labour in a backward agricultural region of India, the main habitat and poverty stricken agricultural labour.
