      <Abstract>Genetic diversity among the genotypes of groundnut were estimated using Mahalanobis D2 statistic for thirteen characters. Grouping of genotypes was carried out by following Tocher’s method. In all, ten clusters were formed from 40 genotypes. The cluster I having sixteen genotypes followed by cluster II has eight, cluster IV and VI contain three, cluster III contains five and clusters V, VII, VIII, IX and X had single genotype. This grouping indicated considerable diversity among genotypes. Cluster II had desirable rating for number of pods per plant. The cluster IΧ had a desirable rating for highest plant height, number branches per plant and kernel yield per plant. The cluster X had desirable rating for highest germination percentage, earliness flowering, highest number of kernels per plant and shelling percentage. The maximum intra cluster distance was recorded in cluster III. The maximum inter cluster distance was recorded between cluster IV and cluster VII.</Abstract>
