Women constitute 495.74 million and represent 48.3% of country's total population as per 2001 census. This study highlights the status of women tea-plantation workers in the family as well as in the society. A study was carried out in five different tea-estates of North Lakhimpur District in Assam with 100 number of respondents of two age groups i.e. 18–35 years and above 35 years. The findings reveal that tea-plantation workers have not actively participated in their own emancipation mainly due to low economic independence and proper exposure which was more noticeable in case of older generation.
