ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to evaluate the contribution of livestock to the poor and vulnerable women, men & children living within the riverine areas of five districts of the northern Jamuna by Chars Livelihoods Programme (CLP). The data was collected from different chars of Islampur upazilla in Jamalpur district. In this study it was found that the average income/animal(catle)/month was 1531 Tk. and av. Income/animal(sheep)/month was 413 Tk. In phase II av.
Income/animal(cattle)/month was 1895 Tk. and av. Income /animal (sheep)/month was 616 Tk. In phase III av. Income/animal(cattle)/month was 1695 Tk. and av. income/animal(sheep)/month was 277 Tk. From this study I found that if the CLP beneficiaries and other rural peoples get more financial technological support from Government and other nongovernment organization like CLP they can become self depended within short time. Thus, they can contribute to GDP. If the financial support provided in early time about 5-10 years ago then the present time their financial background become strong and self depended. ATP animals strongly prove that vaccination and disease are interdependent which is shown by pearson 2 (2 x 2) contingency table. So, this types of NGO’s helps necessary in our country which brings glorious golden future in remote river sided peoples of Bangladesh. Therefore, Poverty alleviation is possible by Chars Livelihoods Programme (CLP).
