        abstract = {The small tea cultivation is a highly studied section in socio economic history of Assam. Many intensive studies have been held in varying discipline in various countries of the world on the small tea industry but historians have been able to provide very limited contributions on the importance of small tea cultivations in Assam and also in other areas of the country. This was also quite significant to the socio-economics of Assam as these small tea practitioners generate economic contribution and job opportunities. It’s also played a huge role in transforming the region's socio-economic development and land use pattern. There was a need for growth in the number of small tea producers, if hopes and sources of income were to be given to many thousands of young unemployed youth, and to hasten extreme poverty reduction. The small tea grow in Assam changed the economic, social and cultural life of tens of millions in the rural areas and beyond. It got better and diversified jobs, made a whole new awareness among rural living people toward life-style, one of which is a better kind of being. The small tea growers come from the poor communities and as such, have succeeded in seriously denting the rural economy of Assam. Hence it is a useful field of research the role it played on the mindset of the people about the occupation structure, also brought better economic conditions as well as employment-oriented work opportunities for the unemployed farmers of Assam.},
