The main occupation of the Tea garden labour is wage labour. The economic condition is not highly sound among the Tea Garden community. The permanent workers have their own quarters allotted by the owner of that particular Tea garden. This study aims to show the living conditions of the tea garden labourers of Maijan Rajgarh Borline. A primary survey is conducted on Maijan Rajgarh Borline of Maijan tea garden i.e male and female, skilled and semi skilled. The study reveals that the conditions of the tea garden labours are very poor although they avail the facilities from the management of the Tea Garden. The data were collected from daily wage labour, elderly persons, permanent workers, etc.
