  • Abstract:
  • Land use Land cover (LULC) classification is vital in identifying, assessing and analyzing the changes of surface cover pattern by using the Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS). Land cover especially implies the spatial distribution of the various classes of land cover that can be assessed both qualitatively as well as quantitatively through remote sensing techniques, while land use mainly focuses on human activities determined by the integration of natural and social scientific methods in various landscapes even having same land cover (Nilimesh Mridha et al., 2021). Modifications in LULC have a significant impact on both urban and environmental planning, especially in light of the fast urbanisation cycle (Anant Patel et al., 2024). This study analysed the status of LULC changes for the last 20 years. The results show that Agricultural Plantation decreased by 8.74%, Cropland decreased by 3.28%, Built up increased by 11.11%, water Bodies increased to 1.67%.
