Human beings keep on struggling for their food, shelter and other basic requirements since ages. They have a natural tendency of acquiring personal growth. Migration has been a general activity of human lives. Considers migration as a permanent or semi-permanent change of residence with no restriction the distance involved in the movement Lee broadly (1966). “It is not population that process on productivity power. It is productivity that process on population”. Karl marks and Engels. Since ancient times, human beings are migrating from one region to another region and from one place to another place for one or the other reason. During ancient days, the migration was influenced mainly by the geographical factors like atmosphere, soil fertility, natural vegetation etc. Internal conflicts, conflicts between religion and local wars. Casual and unskilled workers who move about systematically from one region to another off earning their services on a temporary, usually, seasonal, basis. These migrations have intensified after industrial revolution. Rampant migration has resulted in making metropolitan cities. Most migrant labourers have no reemployment rights, are usually unorganized in unions and have little systematic access to job seeking. Middlemen, job brokers, labour contractors and crew leaders arise out of this fundamental disorganization of the labour market. The fact that the unorganized migrant workers is “HERE TODAY AND GONE TOMORROW” makes the regulation of his working and living conditions difficult. The term migration refers to the people’s movement from their native place to a new place perhaps permanently, temporarily or seasonal migrants. The labour market for migrant workers in agricultural in notable disorderly, partly, because such workers employment relationship is temporary. Thus, if region is taken as the basis, it may be international and internal migration. This paper enlightenes that unorganized agriculture labour facing problems socially, culturally and economically in Bangalore city.
