| Abstract | Bangladesh is not only characterised by an alarming
proportion of poverty-stricken population but also is threatened
by a n increase in their proportion. recognising that the people
belonging to the target groups are generally landless, have
almost no assets and have very little or no access to the conventional banking system and as a result they do not have any regular income of their own and so they are deficient in calorie
intake , shelter , clothing and other necessities, the Grameen Bank
takes especial initiatives to help them getting a better livelihood.
The study is an attempt to examine the impact of Grameen Bank programmes on landless poor. The study was carried in
five villages under Joara-Chandanaish branch of Grameen Bank in
Chittagong district.
The socio-economic conditions and basic necessities
availed by the GB members and their households were collected. In
this,ยท detail informations regarding income a nd corresponding
expenditures for basic needs by GB house holds were sought.
The results show that GB credit has definite impact on
income of her members and their households, though it shows that
there is relatively a few deficiencies in small- scale manufacturing activities. It further shows that due to rise in income level
of both the member and household, there is a corresponding rise
in expenditure level regarding basic amenities by GB households.
It further shows that GB households acquired a considerable
number of household assets . |
