A study was carried out to observe the present socio-economic status of kuchia catchers at Purbadhala upazila under Netrokona district. Data were collected over a period of five months from May to September 2014 by interviewing kuchia catchers. The study showed that the highest percentage (42.5%) of kuchia catchers belonged to the age group of 21- 25 years and 75% of them were ethnic people. Family consisting of 4-5 members was the highest (47.5%). 48% of the kuchia catchers of the study area were educated up to primary school.
