“…This ties and relationship among the members and community can be seen as an investment in gaining future livelihoods (Akki and Reddy 2015;Ellis, 2000;Krishna, 2003). Rew and Rew (2003) further add that livelihood were completely ways of life that are socially constructed. To measure the social capital for sustainable livelihood security in rural and less develop areas, it need to focus on the joint family, share cropping, cooperation among family and community members, participation in house and community work, individual leadership, membership in group and association, livestock sharing, migration pattern etc.…”

“…The moral universe both sets values and denies some forms of behaviour as appropriate. For example, many tribal men are uncomfortable with the possibility of becoming market traders for their surpluses; they prefer to sell directly to middlemen, often from non-Hindu, other backward caste (OBC) or even scheduled caste (SC) backgrounds if they are local, or who come from distant urban areas (Rew and Rew, 2003). The local tribal residents prefer farming, "service" jobs or a mixture of farming and manual labouring.…”

Classic ethnographic monographs on eastern India had pinpointed profound changes in political organization. In recent decades, ethnography has avoided policy-relevant research in line with a general narrowing of research. Current donor interests in governance reform have created new opportunities. In Orissa, the authors have researched trends in governance and can confirm a major disjuncture between community structures and government rule, so supporting a trend and social analysis that others have too readily dismissed as “anarcho-communitarian”. The tribal villagers studied were wary of all rule, and experienced the state as a site of humiliation rather than of empowerment. They were expected to respect the officials as “proxy parents” but would not, as uncouth aborigines, be treated in turn as “sons”. The type of governance reform envisaged by donors depends on officialdom with a lighter touch. This will require ethnographic understanding and intensive inputs to counter tenacious ideas of rule over non-equivalent citizens.

“…Unfortunately, there was no systematic research on the livelihood status of this region. For sustainable management of natural resources and building capacity, participation of fishermen needed badly [17][18][19][20] . Sustainable and marginalized development of the fishermen largely rely on successful management of water resources.…”

The present study was carried out to assess the livelihood status of traditional fishing community of the Meghna River adjacent to Narsingdi District from September 2015 to March 2016. Data were collected through the well-structured questionnaire survey from Noyapara, Daspara, Birpur and Boiddamara char close to Meghna River. A total of 100 fishermen were selected randomly for interview. The findings of the present study revealed some interesting facts and showed most of the fishermen were Hindus (63%) belong to the age group of 24-45 years. Almost 71% of the fishermen were illiterate and got medical help mainly from village doctors (80%). It was found from the investigation that most of the houses were kacha (65%) and with poor sanitation facilities. For coping with adverse situation most of them (85%) take loan from somiti (Asha). There was a prevalent relationship of contentment of fishermen, children's school, taking risk at work, electricity facilities and medical facilities with the fishing income that was analyzed by One Way ANOVA (SPSS v.22) as the alpha level (p<0.05). Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was done to isolate variables that may be sufficient for socioeconomic study and Correlation matrix was done to find out the relation among variables.
