This article examines the key issues relating to the socio-cultural and economic changes witnessed by the migrant agricultural labourers working in the farm sector of Punjab. A large number of labourers from the poor states of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, West Bengal and neighbouring country of Nepal have been migrating to Punjab ever since the advent of the green revolution in the agricultural sector of Punjab. The empirical findings of the study confirm that migration is an important source of survival for these poor people across the country but while working in the fields of Punjab the majority of them lose their social and cultural identity
