Thus the region has perfectly suitable condition for rice cultivation it is slowly moving towards vegetables, fruit and other cash crop cultivation. This paper deals with the changing pattern of crop diversification in this particular area. The study has been done by analyzing secondary data and using some statistical and GIS techniques.
