This has inevitably led to intensified cropping practices and a notable shift from traditional food crops towards more commercially viable alternatives. The data clearly illustrates a structural transformation within Indian’s agriculture. The historical dominance of foodgrains has waned, giving way to an increased cultivation of high-value crops such as oilseeds, potatoes, and fruits & vegetable. Thus we observe that a few states, namely Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Jammu &Kashmir, Gujarat, Sikkim, Tamin Nadu, Karnataka, Rajasthan Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, WB, Madhya Pradesh, Nagaland and Mizoram moved from crop specialization to the moderate diversification or high diversification. Side by side some states, namely Assam, Chhattisgarh, Kerala, Odisha, Punjab, Tripura and Goa moved from crop diversification to the crop specialization due to their unfertile land, inadequate facilities of irrigation, infrastructural facilities and lack of awareness in respect of government policy and program.
