Every nation of the world must be active for the human rights of all the citizens. In this study, it is highlighted the concept of human rights initially. The human rights related laws are constructed for all workers. In a third world country like Bangladesh, bottom level worker face numerous problems and found themselves in a slavery place which creates a big gap between the owner and workers relations.The massive dilemma is researchers are not strongly paying attention and studied on the concept of basic human rights of the workers especially the tea plantation workers. So, there is no available information related to human rights of tea garden workers. On the way, only analyze social as well as economic conditions; working conditions of tea plantations workers is not appropriate.
