All the families who have settled after the riverbank erosion in Padmapukur village have been faced the disaster. It has been found that even after the breakdown, changes in the different elements of the family have been made during the breakdown. However, research has shown that changes in various aspects of life are observed before the river erosion everywhere. It has been found in the study that there is no family that has become financially viable, rather than their socio-economic status has become more detorioted day after day. And through this changing situation, people of Padmapukur village are trying to stay on their own homesteads with the last penny of life. During the erosion of the river, it has been observed that a broad difference is seen between the present and previous profession. It has been found that during the breakdown of the river, the villagers who have been victims of river erosion, even lost the arable land, have taken shelter in nearby villages, Upazillas or adjacent districts. However, many of them have settled on the previous land, but this has been possible when the transit was created after the breakdown. However, in these cases, there can be no specific change in the social status. Among these divergent conditions, the people Padma Pukur have been staying.

Research has found that despite the repeated disruption of riverbank erosion, people try to adopt with ther short-term and long-term procedures. But in this case, people are not seen to be very vocal. But government and non-governmental organizations play a helpful role.
