Relatively a huge number of populations who came from different parts of India mainly from Bihar after the partition of the sub-continent(Ahmed,2003)in 1947 and settled in Bangladesh and opposed the liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971 are known as Bihari,a stateless community,artificial minority or stranded Pakistanis.The Bihari community in Bangladesh attracted much attention after the independence of Bangladesh and many scholars and development practitioners studied extensively on different aspects of the community.The Bihari community in Bangladesh is deprived of all rights.They could hardly manage jobs for themselves,which reflected their economic insecurity and food insecurity as well.Inadequate medical facilities in the camps indicated their insecurity of health, thereby becoming vulnerable to various diseases and poor health with debilitating illness.Study was conducted on the Bihari community at Khalishpur camp in Khulna district.For conducting this study,12 case studies and two FGDs were used. Study mainly focused on the livelihood pattern of the targeted targeted community.Based on the major findings,study concluded with some recommendations to overcome the problems.
