Abstract	As we all aware that India is swiftly transferring or selling their ownership in public enterprise to private players to increase efficiency, foster economic growth, enable competitiveness and for other reasons. But in storm of this privatisation state should be not allow to forget its social, constitutional and international obligation which is sine qua non for democratic setup. In India, total 50 crore workers are employed in organised and unorganised sector, out of which 45 crore workers employed in the unorganised sectors and 50-70 lakhs of workers join labour market annually. Probably this digit will increase in future due to mass privatisation and overpopulation. According to National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganised Sector (2007), unorganised workers are “those working in the unorganised enterprises or households, excluding regular workers with social security benefits, and the workers in the formal sector without any employer/social security benefits provided by the employers.” Often unorganised sector work considers as precarious work because its offer insecure, unprotected, short-term and poorly paid jobs with no social security. Protection and promotion of rights of these workers has become more unfeasible when we study that top 10% of the Indian population holds 77% of the total national wealth and only a 1% wealth has been increased of 67 million people in year 2017. Mostly, workers employed in this sector belongs to underprivileged section of society having low level of skills and education which make situation worse. In this paper, author seeks to identify the rights of unorganised workers under national as well international law and issues affecting their working and living condition and responsibility of government to maintain the minimum standard of living of these workers and save them from exploitation.
