The families of Padmapukur village who have been settled after the riverbank erosion are being victim of dysentery. There has been a long change in their socio-economic situations. And these changes are happened within i.e. family, ancestral lands and households. But despite of social changes, the inhabitants of this village are living in the eroded areas. As a result, they have to lead a miserable life even, thus the socio-economic conditions of number of families are becoming worsen day-by-day. It has been found in the study that many people had in their different professions before the riverbank erosion and later became day laborer. Those families had two houses and a kitchen now they are living under a one room which is very close to the kitchen. Many of them have long been forced to change their professions and even relocate their positions. But these types of changes are still happening over there.
