Abstract
The rapid growth of rubber plantations in India exacerbates traditional agriculture and degrades biodiversity. Rubber is a cash crop, earns a remarkable income for the farmer and boosts the economy in the world market. The North Eastern states of India produce rubber successfully due to favorable atmosphere and climatic conditions. This region occupies a large area of natural forest and a hotspot of biodiversity. In the recent past, people shifted their occupation to rubber plantations by sacrificing forests and biodiversity.

A Likert scale analysis followed by a logistic regression tried to find out the negative impact of rubber plantations.
