Present research is primarily stressed on the impact of agro-environmental factors on crop-land use pattern and for these purpose blocks of Bishnupur subdivision has been selected for the study. So, detail scenario of agricultural land use and block level differentiation of crop land use pattern have been represented and analysed for final extraction of rural development pattern in these blocks. In this regard, proper stress is also given to represent the micro-level land use pattern as well as rural development pattern in the area concerned. The major objective of the present research is to define the determinants of the agro-environmental condition of the research field and to review the land cover and land use pattern of the area concerned with particular reference to agricultural land use and cropping pattern. The harsh climatic condition especially high temperature, low rainfall in that area is not favourable for taking best possible measures for optimal land utilization and management. Crops are uniformly cultivated during the rainy season with the help of rain water, but that also depends on intensity and amount. We have number of crops dominated by paddy in this region. Other crops are potato, Wheat, vegetables, jute, oilseeds etc. All those crops are cultivated in different season during the year. From ground truth observation it has been highlighted that though paddy, till and potato have been highlighted as major crops in mono cropping, double cropping and multiple cropping cultivation but several other crops are cultivated as observed in the crop diversification map.
