Abstract:
This paper tried to explore the impact of unhygienic practices on social behavior of the tea garden workers by considering 5 point Likert scale with factor analysis. We collected cross-sectional data and information randomly from 355 tea garden workers by following a systematic set of semi-structured interviews questionnaire. Finding reveals that female's perception level was likely higher than male's perception level about unhygienic practices and social behavior as well as unhygienic practices could not only impact negatively on individual social behavior but also on individual health. Workers of the tea gardens are generally suffered by different kinds of diseases attributable to poor sanitation conditions and unhygienic practices. They have neither good educational attainment nor have opportunities to lead hygienic life but fully unhygienic and miserable.
