Solution

The landless labourers are the most exploited labourers in the hands of moneylenders or rich farmers in the village.
Because of financial constraints, they are deprived of a number of basic facilities like food, housing, health, sanitation, education and employment. The landless labourers are unable to afford these as they work only during the harvesting season and mostly remain unemployed for the rest of the year.
