The leading NGOs namely ASA, BRAC, GRAMEEN BANK, PROSHIKA, SKS and TMSS were targeted for data collection in the three selected districts viz., Gaibandha, Rangpur and Dinajpur in the Northern region of Bangladesh. A total of 247 women (Microcredit borrowers) were selected randomly from the selected districts as the sample of the study. The findings of the study showed that microcredit reduces economic problems of the women and helps to enhance economic empowerment. And also after taking loan or involving with microcredit their family income, expenditure and savings increased significantly. Positive and significant empowerment effects were found for the indicators: intra-HH decision, mobility, and own & child healthcare. It is seen that after taking loan or involving with microcredit decision-making power have changed for the women in all the dimensions used in this stu...

Moreover, the quest of the papers is to endeavor to spheres of technical, allocative, and economic efficiencies among sampled 600 large, medium and small scale wheat farmers in north region of Bangladesh. The socioeconomic factors that influence economic efficiency in wheat production in north region of Bangladesh have also been determined. Results indicate that the mean economic efficiency indices of trained, non-trained and control Group of wheat farmers are 81%, 78%, and 71%, respectively. The corresponding figures for the small, medium and large scale farmers are 77%, 77%, and 75%, respectively. The skill and efficiency levels of a farmer is also depending on the number of years of school for formal education, distance extension advice and how bigger the farm is which has a str...
