Abstract: For thousands of years man has used stone for building, whether it was monuments, religious buildings or houses. With the increase in population and industrialization, the need for more blue metals increased rapidly. This directly led to the demand for quarrying. During the period of industrial revolution, the demand was at its peak. The resources were exploited to the maximum for short-term benefits. During this period the environmental issues were given less importance. The main purpose of the present research work is to find the employment status of mining workers who are alleged in sandstone works in Bijoliya region. It has been tried to search out the answer related to why they are getting irregular employment from these type of mining activities. The research shows that the workers migrate to another mine site in search of employment. Another objective of the study is to find the economic level of mine workers where they are getting minimum wedges. It is very hard to get proper nutrition by their low earning. Their children are not getting proper food and education facilities. So this research highlights their basic needs which should be fulfilled by alternative source of earning and providing the job opportunity to them in the study area.
