Description
Excerpt from Recruitment of Labour for Tea Gardens in Assam
In consequence of this recommendation, I was placed on special duty at the end of August 1908, and was directed to visit the recruiting districts with a View to the removal of the prejudices against emigration to this Province. I have now visited all the principal recruiting districts in Bengal, Madras, the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh, and the Central Provinces, and have made two tours through the labour districts of the Assam and Surma Valleys. As important modifications have been made recently in the law and rules governing recruit ing, and as the various systems and formalities are not always understood in the recruiting or in the labour districts, it has been thought advisable that I should write a simple account of the various systems of obtaining labour and of the way in which they work in different parts of the country. After describing these I give my own Views on the policy which, I think, should be followed by employers of labour. It will be understood that these views represent my own personal opinions.
