Construction worker • Construction workers are part of rural Indian but most of time they have been ignored due to constant migration as per the availability of work, and they have remained far from any developmental programs. • Their work is of migratory nature and full of insecurity, as a result of which their children suffer a lot. • Educating their children is beyond their imagination and can never be a priority in the struggle for survival.
