ABSTRACT
India is the second most populous country of the world, with about 920 million people, and its unemployment rate is huge even at the present time. A 3% annual population growth rate amounts to a 19-fold increase in a century. India was formerly a predominantly agricultural country, with about 80% of the population directly or indirectly involved in agriculture. Only since its independence from British rule and the initiation of the second ve-year plan has it experienced industrial development. Hence, the application of occupational ergonomics is becoming more and more necessary.
