This study is a theoretical framework of reference on the model of sustainable development through youth engagement in tea gardens of Assam. In recent years, youth engagement has been recognized as a major concern in developing the status of youth. They have been discriminated against in all aspects like social, political, economic, education, access to rights, health, etc. In Assam's tea estates, young people are the main labour supply and support in creation of space in the local tea industry. In Assam's tea sector, young employees constitute the most probable labor force. Youth initiatives may assist to reduce gender-based violence by ensuring that young people have access to correct information about the issue and advocating for changes in laws and policies. Inequality between men and women extends to unequal job mobility, wage rates, occupational and social status in almost every walk of life. Education, growing unemployment, and socio-economic backwardness are the most pressing challenges that may provide a healthy working environment for Assam's tea fields. Youth are socialized in such a way that social institutions force them to accept their exploitation. Because of this, young people are needed to witness a change in tea gardens. This necessitates the exercise of some authority. According to this study, Assam's young labourers are socioeconomically underdeveloped.
