Abstract
Health is essential for any human being to lead a happy and peaceful life and to protect such a significant part of life people seek healthcare. This health care in turn plays a vital role in protecting the health of all. Is this health care available to all sections of the society? What kind of behaviours are showcased by people when seeking health? In other words, how do people seek health in the environment they are living? These are the key questions that are taken for study in this article. The article addresses these questions with special reference to the migrant labourers in Bengaluru.
