The informal sector is now asserted to be an integral part of the
growth process. This paper enables us to see how far this new
concept helps us to understand the condition of female bidi workers
in Murshidabad district of the Indian state West Bengal. For this
work we have selected Aurangabad, a small town under Suti 2 block
in the district of Murshidabad, West Bengal. Bidi industry is a
typical putting-out system where the bidi is manufactured at home
using raw- materials supplied by the capitalist firms to whom the
bidi is sold. Our paper indicates the plight of the informal bidi
worker in Murshidabad. They have very little human capital embedded
in education and health. Continuous work has hampered their
productive capacity and long run sustainability chained by social
taboos and injustice. The informal bidi workers are twice deprived,
first as an informal sector worker and second as female worker.
