The present paper deals with a scheme of delineating the agricultural planning regions of India where diversified patterns of agricultural characteristics prevail. Considering 20 agricultural variables of agro-ecological, production, growth-potentials, technological and organizational characteristics for each and every district (i.e., called Operational Taxonomy Unit) of the country, 5 macro, 23 meso, 52 micro and 92 lowest order homogeneous agricultural planning regions have been delineated by applying discriminant procedure of classification. It is found that the application of modern technology influences the assimilation processes of agricultural region-formation. Therefore, there is an emergence of unstable agricultural planning regions in India.
