Indian Labour Conditions in Ceylon

• In a report for 1925, Mr. S. Ranganathan, I.C.S, highlighted significant labor issues faced by Indian laborers in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka).
• He noted that approximately 40% of Indian laborers did not receive a living wage.
• The report emphasized the deficiencies in medical relief, housing, and education among these laborers.
• Ranganathan advocated for the establishment of a standard wage to address these inadequacies.

This report draws attention to historical labor welfare issues and the need for policy reforms regarding wages and living conditions of workers.
