This report aimed to give a clear picture on the nature of their vulnerability and
potentiality to cope wit by analysis their non-land asset base, ownership of savings and
their level of human poverty. It was estimated that 91% of the ultra poor possessed any
kind of non-land assets, 62% owned any productive assets and only 19% had savings.
Average value of total non-land assets was only Tk. 3,787 at current price, of them
value of productive assets constituted only 26%. Results on human poverty showed
that 96% of the ultra poor used tube-well water for drinking, 88% for cooking, 76% for
dish washing, 39% for cloth washing and 38% for bathing. Only 14% used slab/pit
latrine for defecation. Eighty percent of the adult males and females possessed
