The sustainable resources management of the CBFM approach has led to livelihoods change of fishing community thus contributing to socio-economic changes. The paper also describes distributional pattern of benefits, appropriateness of the institutions, attitudes and social capital created for all stakeholders within the co-management approach. Open water fisheries resources have a vital role to foster livelihoods of fishers by creating new opportunities. The critical part of the rural economic life of a year spends in fishing in the extended floodplain; a range of poor people received access to the fisheries resources thus, embraces changes in living standard. Based on experience from the study the article explores aspects of the population profile, income, occupation, landholding, assets, food security, women mobility, institutional involvement and access to finances suggests livelihoods development.
