Detailed Solution

The statement is true. Landless farmers are farm labourers who don't own their land but work for other landowners. For each day they work, they are compensated. Large and medium-sized farmers typically employ them throughout the planting and harvesting seasons. They are paid relatively little, occasionally in the form of grains or other crop products rather than cash. Their employment is seasonal. Thus they continue to live in poverty because they are unemployed for a significant portion of the year. Since there is a high need for labourers in the construction industry in cities and there are always jobs available, many of these farmers have begun looking for alternative employment.
