An Anthropological Study to Understand and Analyze Poverty in Chalan Beel area of Bangladesh.

Researcher: Mr. Md Motiur Rahman

The poor inhabitants around the Chalan Beel (Lake) area in the north of Bangladesh seek alternative livelihoods during the lean season. Md Motiur Rahman, a student of Anthropology of Rajshahi University, will evaluate the crisis coping strategies adopted by them. The objective of this study is to analyze the survival strategy of the poverty groups in the region and see whether they could be replicated or adapted in other places. Another objective of this project is to assist this young researcher, under the guidance of a professor, to build his capacity in participatory action research (PAR).
