The readymade garments manufactured in Indore are well received in the overseas market. Indore city has been a large centre of textile mills and thus Readymade Garments industry is an offshoot of these textile mills. The industry also owes its debut to the readymade garment industry in the nearby cities of Mumbai & Ahmedabad. The growth of industry to a great extent depends upon the workers attitude towards the industry in which they work and it is not to be out of place to mention that the progress of industry can vis-à-vis reach at prospering stage if the worker involvement and satisfaction are high. Labour is an important input in industrial production. This is truer in garment industry. Mechanization and automation have not diminished the role of human element in industrial establishments. In fact, the role of the workforce has become highly critical in garment industry. Nor have the economic reforms belittled the significance of labor.

There are several issues related to labor. In this paper survey has been conducted on the 20 labourers from the various Garment industries of Indore.
