This paper attempts to examine the change in cropping pattern and crop combination due to pipeline irrigation in Rohtak District of Haryana. The change in cropping pattern in the study area is examined to understand the share of various crops in the study area during a particular period of time 2005-2015. The present study has been used both primary and secondary source of data. An extensive field survey has been conducted by the researcher in sampled villages. The sampled villages have been selected on the bases of random method of sampling. A pre-tested schedule has been used to get the information. It is found that pipeline irrigation emerged as catalyst in changing of cropping pattern in Rohtak district. It also affects crop diversification in the surveyed area. The present paper also gives some suggestion to overcome these problems.
