Purposive along with simple random sampling techniques were adopted for the study. Net Income and Income being the dependent variables of the study to explore the factors associated with the paddy-cum- fish farmers and seventeen causal variables were considered as the independent variables to establish the relation between the dependent one. In the present study, data were generated through a sample survey of farmers by personal interview method using pretested well-structured interview schedule and were processed into frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, correlation analysis, regression analysis, constraints etc. to draw conclusion the of the study. Random sampling was adopted for the selection of the respondents. Correlation analysis of the two dependent variables Net income and Income of the study revealed that out of the 17 variables, 12 and 13 independent variables were found to be significant respectively. The result of regression analysis on Net Income and Income revealed that out of 17 variables, 5 and 3 independent variables were found to be significant respectively. Constraints analysis revealed that non-availability of insurance when the crop failed, lack of knowledge of paddy-cum-fish practices and the irregular visit of extension worker/scientist were top in their respective 3 main relative constraints.
