The beneficiaries are needed to work 7 hours in a day and get Tk. 200( Two hundred ) each and they are bound to save Tk. 25 in their respective account which is not withdraw able till 1st July of each year. One Sarder is engaged to look after each project who gets extra Tk.50 per day. The Seasonal poverty is rampant in Monga prone and Char areas in Bangladesh. In these regions poor people remain unemployed and lead a precarious life during the months from October to December and from March to May, when there is very little or no farm activities. The objectives of the EGPP are to 1. To provide short‐term employment to the hardcore poor in times seasonal vulnerability and 2.

From the research findings, it has been revealed that, food intake frequency of the EGPP beneficiaries has been increased, before involvement in EGPP 67.5% beneficiary among the interviewed beneficiary could manage to have meal twice in a day, and 25% beneficiary could manage to have meal once in a day and 7.5% beneficiary could manage to have meal once in a day and after involvement in EGPP the scenario has been changed the percentage of people those could manage to have meal once in a day has gone off and percentage of people who could manage to have meal twice in a day also reduced to 7.5% but sudden change due to increase of purchase capability above 92.5% people are able to have meal thrice in a day which shows very significant change in purchase power of the beneficiaries.
