Education, Health and Living condition of Agricultural labourers in India: Insight from NSSO and Census Data

Abstract: This research paper examines the education, health, and living conditions of agricultural labourers in India using data primarily from the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) and the census of India. Agricultural labourers constitute a significant and often vulnerable segment of the Indian workforce. Understanding their socio-economic status is crucial for formulating effective policies aimed at their upliftment and overall rural development. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of their current situation, identify key challenges, and highlight regional disparities. By analyzing quantitative data from large-scale surveys, this study seeks to contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the realities faced by agricultural labourers in India.
