The growth of a nation is intertwined with the growth of industry and qualified and efficient labour force is a perquisite for a growing and successful industry. Therefore, this paper makes an attempt to present the socio-economic scenario of industrial workers employed in a manufacturing industry i.e. Vedanta Aluminium Limited Plant in Jharsuguda district of Odisha. The analysis of the data indicates that industrial workers surveyed are predominantly young, have the modern means of entertainment and fast communication which is consistent with the maxim that economic prosperity is accompanied with industrialisation. No relationship is found between the job satisfaction level and caste of the workers whereas there is significant relationship between the job satisfaction level with the educational level and age structure of the industrial workers.
