Assam Tea Workers

Assam Tea Workers are laborers employed in the tea plantations of Assam, a region in India known for its tea industry. They perform tasks like plucking tea leaves, working long hours in challenging conditions. Historically, many have faced issues such as low wages, limited rights, and poor living conditions. Despite their hard work, they often remain economically disadvantaged. Efforts are ongoing to improve their wages, working conditions, and rights. These workers are vital to India's tea industry, which is a major global exporter, and their well-being directly impacts the quality and sustainability of Assam tea.
