Tea Estate labourers play an important role in our society. Our society will never be complete without their involvement and contribution. Therefore, it is essential to study the socio-economic condition of this particular section. Most of the tea garden labourers are backward in all aspects of their life. The economic condition they live in, the socio-cultural values and institutions they cherish and the kind of relationship they maintain with the other people living around them and in the adjacent areas need to be understood in the light of the present-contemporary society. They have been facing enormous problems and difficulties (poverty, homeless and illiteracy) in their day-to-day life. The study proposes to investigate the socio-economic life of tea garden labourers in Borsillah Tea Estate and how poverty affects in day to day life of labourers in Borsillah Tea Eastate.
