Agriculture sector is known as primary sector. Agricultural development is the core of rural development. Agriculture depends on season and it is known as gambling of season. Agriculture development can not be fulfilled without the support of agricultural finance. In this research paper comprised of 240 samples undertaken using multistage stratified mixed sampling technique. The main occupation of the majority (62.08 %) of sample farmers was agriculture in the area under study. The remaining (37.92 %) the sample farmers has opted subsidiary occupations in addition among which the maximum i.e. 64.83 % has opted self employment. This paper obviously indicates that after their main occupation of agriculture self employment has emerged as major subsidiary occupation in the area under study. Thus, among marginal sample farmers 63.79 % had opted self employment as subsidiary occupation in addition to their main occupation (agriculture). This clearly shows that sample marginal farmers were engaged mere comprehensively in the area under study. Thus, in case of sample small farmers the maximum 76.79 % were engaged in agriculture only. This clarifies that the sample small farmers were less interested in opting subsidiary occupations. Therefore, it is concluded that among the medium & large sample farmers the majority 67.21 % were engaged in agriculture and among the medium & large farmers who opted subsidiary occupations in addition to their agriculture , the majority i.e. 70 % of them had opted self employment and only remaining 30 % had opted services and no had opted wage labor as subsidiary occupation . Thus medium & large farmers were engaged only in agriculture and self employment in the area under study.
