The present paper highlighted on the causes of marginalization and real livelihood challenges of the tea garden laborers in the context of Sylhet. The complex social problem that is linked with multiple causes and multidimensional aspects. The tea garden workers are openly denoted as one of the backward population leading poor living standard year after year. The tea business of Bangladesh is worldwide recognized but the labors of the gardens are deprived from their minimum standard of labor rights. We need to include relevant stakeholders in the process and to create a social space for recovery of their social mainstreaming problems in a multiple way such as skill development, education, health, employment opportunity etc. Finally, it emphasized on three-fold recommendation and measures for scaling up their standard, society and community readiness and service readiness. The readers of the report will be known about the major challenges towards the development of the community. |
