Health of the developing region’s population is generally not good due to variety of reasons. The state of disease/illness or any other sign or problems of health is the most dynamic aspect of study. This study focuses on general health condition of the agricultural population and its relationship with the agricultural sustainability. This paper is an outcome of the observation and information of the past studies carried out in a segment of lower Ganga Plain located in eastern India. This area may serve as a representative of the developing region. Disease/illness or any other sign of health problems increasingly deteriorate health condition of each age group population. Health problems of agricultural workers cause a great loss of man-days and deficit in labour supply in agriculture and in turn adversely affect household and agricultural sustainability.
