Abstract The development of agriculture of a region is caused by different factors. Among these, participation of different social groups in agriculture is the one of the leading factor. Therefore, to see the scenario of agricultural development, it is very essential to study the characteristics of different communities and their work participation. Because of the uneven distribution of population in varying environmental conditions, the nature of agricultural land occupance of different communities varying from region to region leading to the variation in the level of agricultural development. Morigaon district is a traditionally backward agrarian region which is constituted by the people of different social groups, viz., indigenous general group of people including both Hindu and Muslim, indigenous scheduled tribes including both Hindu and Christian, indigenous scheduled caste belonging to Hindu and immigrant Muslim. These social groups living in different regions of the district have different attitudes towards agricultural operation. In this paper an attempt has been made to analyse the spatial variation of people’s participation in agriculture in Morigaon district. It is expected that the study will help the planners to adopt separate plans and programmers for the region.

Keywords: Work participation, Leading factor, Land occupancy, Spatial variation.
