Education is the necessary requirement of a society. Being human, the labour society of the tea plantations of Assam deserves minimum facility of education. But during the colonial period the matter was totally ignored by the Planters. Even after the Independence the scenario has been more or less the same, although the independent Indian government adopted certain measures to foster education among the tea garden labourers. The Plantation labour Act, 1951 and the Assam Plantation Labour Rules, 1956, provided for educational facilities among the children of tea garden community. In 1968 the government of Assam announced the state’s responsibility for their education by taking over the management of primary schools of tea gardens of certain districts.
