Poverty is multi-dimensional in character, scope and content. Poverty has an economic face, a social face and a Psychological face. Poverty’s economic face includes joblessness, unemployment, and lack of finances to satisfy the family’s basic needs. Poverty leads to low economic growth. This reduces the productivity of labour force and economic growth is affected. Landless agricultural labourers means, “Employment in rural areas other than in agriculture”. In this study area the landless agricultural labourers is not satisfactory. Their standard of living is very low. They are not in a position to purchase their essential goods. The remedy is to create job opportunity among the unemployed people. The government must take adequate steps to provide financial assistance and introduce job-oriented programmes to this area of landless agricultural labourers. Further, in this study area, there is no agricultural labour organisation
