Abstract
Government of Bangladesh (GoB) have made an effort to provide microcredit facility to
the landless and marginal farmers in order to uplift their socioeconomic condition
through Agricultural Diversification and Intensification Project. This study aims to assess
whether the participants were benefited or not as a result of intervention of the project.
Logit model was used to examine the influence of socioeconomic variables on the
dichotomous dependent variable. The logit model results indicate that variables like year
of schooling, number of training received by the borrowers, mobility of the borrowers
and household size of the borrowers were significantly related with the dependent
variable borrowers’ betterment.
