The crop diversification is considered as an important pathway for agrarian development. It means not just raising a greater variety of crops in a geographical limit over a period of time but also a movement of resources from a low value agriculture to a high value agriculture. The present study aims at examining the status of crop diversification in Odisha visa-vis the comparison between the coastal district Cuttack and southern tribal Kandhamal district of the state. It is measured through Thiele’s Entropy Index (TEI) by considering gross cropped area under eight varieties of crops through secondary data in the year 2015-16 and the two districts have been scrutinized through primary investigation in the year 2018-19. The variables irrigation, fertilizer, high yielding variety seeds, credit, income from agriculture, electricity used for agriculture, telecommunication and farm mechanisation like tractor/ power tiller and statistical tool linear multiple regression have been employed to examine the determinants of crop diversification.
