The rights of humanity are violated by the practice of bonded labour. Many social and economic concerns, such as the caste system, limited access to education, and limited work opportunities, contribute to the persistence of bonded labour in India. Due to the exploitative nature of their living and working conditions, bonded labourers undergo a wide range of emotional and mental distress, including but not limited to despair, anxiety, and trauma. Eliminating bonded labour requires not only providing immediate rescue and rehabilitation for victims, but also addressing the economic and social inequalities that perpetuate this kind of modern slavery. The primary goal of this research is to acquire a thorough understanding of the current levels of resilience among people in the Krishnagiri district who have been released from bonded labour. The current research is a descriptive study using a deductive methodology, and it was conducted in the 4 villages of Denkanikottai taluk, Krishnagiri district, Tamil Nadu. Bonded labourers who were released in the year from 2008 to 2017 were included in the study. N = 40 released bonded labourers who had been rehabilitated post-rescue were chosen using convenience sampling method. By modifying the CD-RISC 25-item scale, a well-organized questionnaire was created. Gaskins’ master validity technique was used to confirm the questionnaire’s validity and reliability. SPSS and AMOS were used for the statistical analysis. Researchers found that once released, most bonded labourers have showed incredible resilience and fortitude in picking up the pieces of their lives and moving forward. Personal competency, Trust in one’s instincts, Positive acceptance of change, Spiritual influences, and Control were discovered using exploratory factor analysis as the top five components. Resilience among released bonded labourers in Krishnagiri district was found to be significantly influenced by three factors: acceptance of change, spiritual influence, and self-control. When policymakers have a thorough grasp of the factors that lead to resilience, they can design targeted policies that effectively assist and empower the released bonded labourers.
