The tea workers in Assam receive wages less than the minimum threshold needed for a decent life; their wages are below the wages received under MGNREGA. It is difficult for the workers and their families to meet their basic needs such as nutritious food, housing, clothing, quality healthcare, and education. They have to borrow from the local money lenders or work overtime which increases their physical burden, mental stress, and vulnerability of the entire family. Workers can achieve a decent standard of living and a life of dignity if the state and tea companies agree to pay them living wages.
