Abstract	Agricultural diversification is crucial for enhancing resilience, ensuring food security and promoting sustainable land management [1]. The rising population, declining land-to-man ratio, small and fragmented landholdings are putting extreme pressure on land and water resources. Rice which is mostly grown in flooded or submerged conditions in kharif season has further intensified the stress on the district’s freshwater resources [2,5]. The present study investigates the diversification trends in kharif cropping patterns within Hisar District, Haryana over the last decade (2015 to 2024). The study is conducted based on the high-resolution satellite data using digital image classification techniques in GIS software and secondary database acquired from the Statistical Abstract of Haryana for the year 2015 and 2024 and published statistics by the Department of Economic and Statistical Affairs, Haryana. The main objective of the study to analysis the shifting of kharif cropping pattern in specific crops like cotton and rice. Our findings reveal significant changes in the dominance of traditional crops and the emergence of new cultivation practices. Factors influencing these trends, including climate variability, market dynamics and government policies are discussed. The results highlights that despite several challenge including soil salinity, extreme temperature stress, moderate soil fertility, and frequent pest infestations the area under rice cultivation has been expanding each year [3]. This shift has led to multiple environmental consequences such as increased reactive nitrogen emissions due to excessive use of nitrogen - based fertilizers like urea, ammonia volatilization resulting from the decomposition of urea-based fertilizers in flooded rice fields, greenhouse gas emissions and water pollution. Additionally, the shift carries significant socio-economic implications for the region.
