Socio Economic Conditions of Labour in Tea Estates Project Report

Introduction
Tea, the most ancient beverage mankind has been enjoying, is still the most popular drink in the world. In India, it is grown in an area of 5.10 Lakh hectare. Since the first auction of Assam Tea made from indigenous plants held in London in 1839, tea plantation in India has been contributing immensely towards the socio economic development of the people of the tea growing regions of the country. Tea industry contributes substantially towards the national and state economy by way of enriching the foreign exchange reservoir and State exchequer besides employment. Today the major tea growing states are Assam, West Bengal, Tripura, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka.

It may be observed that about 78 per cent of the country's total area under plantation is located in North East India and Assam accounts for nearly 53 per cent of the all India production. Assam tea is well known for its rich taste and colour.
Being an agricultural plantation crop and a major revenue generator, tea cultivation has become a lucrative profession in the North Eastern region that has very few business opportunities and plays a vital role in improving the socio-economic condition of the region.
