Abstract
Being part of the agrarian economy of India, the State of Tamil nadu has a large population dependent on the agriculture sector for their livelihood. In the agriculture sector, large population of agricultural workers (landless and small-marginal farmers) – target group of study- besides working as labourers in the agricultural fields of (big) farmers, does farming as the farmer for improving their household income. This large population being dependent on agriculture is trapped in poverty. These farming communities (landless and small farmers) had not adequately benefitted from the Green revolution and both the agriculture sector and its dependents were facing several problems and challenges caused by the Green revolution. The policy makers can take necessary measures for the wellbeing of the agricultural workers.
