Abstract: Mysore, a city known for its silk and sandalwood, has been popular among migrant workers for its industries. Some industrial townships are adjacent to this city. Apart from Mysore city, the study was conducted in Nanjungud industrial area. The number of industries in Nanjungud was around 60-70 and in most of the industries migrant workers are hired through contractors who act as middle men and are responsible for workers’ payment. Workers often have to give certain proportion of commission to the contractor. Migrant workers usually lived in shelter provided by their employer. These shelters had electricity and toilet facilities. But in most of the cases, people had to carry water from other places. Apart from migrant labour working in Nanjangud and some companies like Reid & Taylor and Nestle, study was also conducted with migrants living in Naziabad area of Mysore city.

Keywords: Migrant, Workers, industries, contractor, employer.
