The 'Jamuna Bridge' is a success in terms of implementation of a dream. It portends an era of socioeconomic transformation, linking the more marginalized North with the rest portion of the country. It was opened to traffic on 23 June 1998. The present study was mainly designed to assess the socioeconomic imp-act of Jamuna Bridge on farming community. The study was conducted in three villages of Saidabad Union under* Sadar Upazila in Sirajganj district of Bangladesh. Farm survey method was followed in the study. Most of the members (58.61 per cent) of the selected households were found in age group between 16.01 and 45 years. Average family size of the study area was 5.93 and it was the highest in the case of small farms. The area had a very impressive literacy profile; about 71 per cent of the family members were literate. Agriculture was found to be the main occupation of the majority (79.50 per cent) of the people in the study area, followed by business (6.32 per cent) and service (4.89 per cent). Household income was remarkably changed after the construction of Jamuna Bridge. It was found that the highest increase in income accrued in the case of medium farms. Although-income from both farm and off-farm sources was found to have increased, the share of farm income to the total income decreased by 2.20 per cent and share of off-farm income increased by 6.28 per cent. Findings of the Cobb-Douglas production function suggested that all the selected variables, viz., farm size, family size, average age of the members, average years of schooling, and income from off-farm activities except proportion of female members in the household had positive and significant impact on household income of the selected farmers. Construction of Jamuna Multipurpose Bridge has created numerous employment opportunities, especially in the off-farm sector and thus found to have contributed to alleviate poverty in the Northern region of Bangladesh as well as in the study area. Cropping patterns of the study area has changed to a considerable extent due to implementation of JMBP. It was observed that the farmers preferred crops with lesser risk higher economic returns. There was a notable positive change in vegetables production in the study area. Finally, based on the findings of the study, some policy recommendations such as establishment of agroprocessing industries, partial mechanization for farm operations, price stabilization for agricultural product, provision of credit to the farmers with soft conditions and providing self employment training to the young people, etc., were made for the sound economic development of the study area and the country.
