Abstract
The study was conducted with the objective of analyzing the impact of microcredit on the development of the indigenous people in three upazilas under three districts of Bangladesh. Data were collected both from secondary as well as primary sources. A multi stage sampling technique was used to select the district and the upazilas. On the whole three hundred respondents were selected from three upazilas namely Modhupur, Birampur & t on the basis of convenience of the researchers. The study revealed that microcredit interventions created a great positive impact as compared to their former position. In the areas of employment, education, living standard, indebtedness related issues etc. The study recommended that the indigenous people should give economic opportunities in the local economy to develop themselves in every sphere of their life. Local administration should give them social protection of their tangible & intangible assets.
