  • Abstract:
  • Megalakoppalu, a village in T. Narasipura Taluk of Mysore district, lies 35 km from Mysore. It has a population of 1,042 and was traditionally agriculture-based. However, due to shifts in local industries, it is gradually transforming into a semi-urban area. The major driver of this change is the brick manufacturing industry, with 92 brick kilns replacing much of the agricultural land. Farmers have shifted to owning and operating these kilns, using the income to improve their homes. Labourers, primarily from Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST), work in these kilns under challenging conditions. The focus of my study is to assess the social and economic status of these workers, considering various factors such as age, education, work experience, income, savings, job satisfaction, and the hardships they face.
