Descriptive Statistics and Crop Diversification Indices were employed to analyze the data. The results revealed that, project implementation changed the cropping pattern (Simpsons index value of 0.85 in KCVP and 0.77 in NKCVP). Income realized and employment generated by KCVP farmers was 23% and 4 % higher, respectively, than NKCVP farmers.
