Agriculture continues to be the main source of employment and income in the majority of developing nations. Food security, poverty alleviation, and human development are all significantly impacted by agriculture, which also employs the vast majority of people. The agricultural industry is becoming a more complex one, and farmers must carefully plan their operations to decide which crops and crop combinations to produce in order to improve their livelihoods. This is especially important given the fact that resources are limited. Many policy decisions heavily weigh the elements influencing the distribution of income among livelihood options and the possibility for growth in farming. For this purpose, the literature has been arranged chronologically under several subjects and sub-themes. The study's objective was to conduct a comparative analysis of the farmer's livelihood strategy in the eastern Indian districts of Gorakhpur and Deoria. The following were the study's particular goals: to identify the variables influencing the farming households' livelihood strategies and income distribution in the research region. Gorakhpur and Deoria districts were selected for the purpose. Both districts Gorakhpur and Deoria are located in the Tarai, or lowland, region of eastern Uttar Pradesh and have a sizable population. Data were gathered using structured questionnaires from 90 farmers in Gorakhpur and Deoria farming in, using mixed sampling strategies that used probability and non-probability sampling techniques. To achieve the goal of examining the elements influencing and affecting the farmers livelihood pattern and income distribution prospects status of the research area, a regression analysis was employed. The results of the study showed that each respondent's age, marital status, number of wage earners and non-earners in the family, various income sources and total family income, income distribution pattern, family size, land ownership, women's occupation, educational attainment, working hours, and other factors all have an impact on the development of their livelihood strategies. According to the regression results for both districts, the dependent variable of income among the respondents in the study area is significantly impacted by marital status, household size, and the number of working individuals. More farming strategies are required for the farmer respondents to proceed and work courageously to raise their revenue, as indicated by the positive association between the elements affecting income distribution and the pattern of livelihood strategies.
