With the advent of Green Revolution, increased mechanisation of agriculture resulted in the development of small-scale industry. Major industries developed, all of which used migrant labour. Being the cheapest source, every industry in Punjab prefers migrant labourers. Migrant labour has contributed substantially to the growth of Punjab. Yet these groups continue to labour under many severe problems, which rise mainly from the nature and manner of employment and economic relations that dominate migrant labour markets. Not only are they burdened with poverty but their nutritional levels are low, their bodies are weak and they are overwhelmingly illiterate. It is therefore imperative to ensure that the migrant is able to avail of the entitlements that Punjab provides for all its citizens. Based on the primary and secondary data, this paper is an attempt to study socioeconomic profile and welfare measures in respect of migrant steel workers.
