Abstract: Abstract Both from urban and rural areas, still the labor is attracted towards agriculture which has been reported in providing employments for “10 million-people in 2005” and “15 million-people in 2010” (Herderschee et al., 2012). With the aim of obtaining necessary food for the subsistence, the labor and small-scale farmers get attracted to agriculture despite of lower productivity in most cases. The worker’s workload results through the interaction arising from inherent-demands to environment-conditions and bio-psychological capacity of human-being, which can affect continuum of human health-related diseases leading to disorder occurring psychologically and physically (SECCO et al., 2011). Further, the workloads can result in stresses, fatigue, occupational-accidents and diseases (Hart, 2006). Thus, it becomes essential in understanding of the agricultural-work and its influences on workers’ health in order to the existing linkage among work, health, and associated diseases in this context. With regard to the mental-stress, a higher prevalence of mental-disorders occurs due to stress, including anxiety and depressions (McShane et al., 2016), which arises owing to higher work-demands that the workers become incapable to cope, manage and control (Lunner Kolstrup et al., 2013).
