This learning resource provides an introduction to agricultural labour in India, defining its categories, specifically casual and attached labour, and analyzing socio-economic factors driving growth in this sector. It details the differences between casual labourers, who are hired on a day-to-day basis for specific tasks like weeding or harvesting, and attached labourers, who typically work under long-term contracts often tied to debt or tradition. The document includes visual analyses that promote critical thinking about the conditions and challenges faced by agricultural workers, and examines demographic, economic, and institutional drivers contributing to an increase in the rural labour force. Learners are encouraged to engage with the material through exercises that involve analyzing growth drivers, correcting misconceptions about agricultural transitions, and reflecting on economic shifts in rural life.
