The cooperative principles of managing finance in India serve via media between the sophisticated institution like commercial banks on one hand and the unscrupulous moneylenders on the other. Despite the fact that the nationalized banks are spreading their operations in the rural areas, cooperative banking remains the best answer for catering to the needs of the small borrowers Challenges before the cooperative banks are two folds, on the one hand they are supposed to provide cheap and timely credit to rural masses and on the other hand they have to ensure their profitability and viability in turbulent interest regime. Financial sector reforms, globalization of financial services and technology revolution have strengthened the commercial banking system to a great extent and have improved their internal working systems. All these changes have resulted in improved productivity and profitability of the commercial banking system which enabled them to offer low cost services to customers.

To be able to create a balance between their social objectives and economic compulsions, these banks were needed to change working strategy. So as a result, cooperative banks have diversified their areas of operation. Business diversification process in cooperative banks started in the year 1992. In this paper an attempt has been made to study the impact of business diversification on assets structure and their yield by regression analysis i.e. by regressing different components of assets and yield against diversification index.
