Abstract:
The study attempts to analysis the status of migrant labourers working in the industries of Ludhiana city with respect to exploitation and discrimination that they face. The industrial migrant labourers are abominated by the locals and even suffer differentiation at the hands of the public and private organisations. The misery of these labourers can be estimated from the fact that the employers are prejudiced against these migrants as they are exploited during the routine and overtime work, payment of wages and other benefits, allocation of job, terms of employment etc. These migrants provide an important resource base for supply of labour and hence, there is a need to ensure congenial work
environment for the comprehensive development.
