Abstract	Agricultural sector has been the cornerstone of Indian economy. Its growth and development across the regions and crops is of crucial importance in ensuring food security, achieving self-reliance, supplying raw materials to industries and generating effective demand in the economy through linkages. However, despite concerted efforts by the government at the Centre through planned outlay, there has been little structural transformation of the Indian agricultural sector. Even today, about 55 percent workforce belongs to agricultural sector and contributes only about 17 percent to the Gross Domestic Product. Green Revolution during the mid-sixties gave a significant breakthrough in terms of increased productivity of agricultural crops, though it did not have an immediate impact across all crops, regions and farm size. Rajasthan, the prevalent state, is gifted with assorted soil & meteorological conditions containing of numerous agro-climatic state of affairs that supports the state to implement a specialized cropping pattern .Rajasthan is the largest state of India constituting 10.40 percent of total geo-graphical area and 5.67 percent of total population of India. The state is divided into seven division and 33 districts. Agriculture and allied activities play an important role in state’s economy. Though it’s contributing in NSDP has significantly fallen in recent years, yet it forms the backbone of state economy. Shifting from one crop to another crop is also a strong tool to minimize the risk and maximize the profit of farmers. However the changes in the cropping pattern has significant impact on the livelihood of labor and farmers economy. To study the diversification in crops the cropping pattern has to be studied scientifically. Cropping pattern has been defined as the proportion of area under different crops at a particular period of time. A change in cropping pattern means changes in the proportion of area under different crops. In current study, the systematic effort has been tried to analysed the cropping pattern through time series data of production of major crops in Rajasthan. The change in pattern is analysed through graphically as well as statistically. The trend chart has been drawn to understand the pattern of production. Also the trend is compared in major crops through regression analysis.
