Industrialization and development activities around the rural areas are leading to drastic changes in the agricultural areas in the villages. Study of these changes and better management of resources is the need of the hour for sustainable development. Landscape dynamics can be easily studied by Digital change detection techniques by using multi-temporal satellite imagery. The present study illustrates the changes occurred in the agricultural sector in Nadergul Village due to establishment of Industries and Educational Institutions using Geospatial techniques. High resolution Satellite imageries of two different time periods, i.e., 2003 and 2019 were acquired and the changes in the Nadergul area over a period of 16 years are found out. Detailed mapping of agricultural fields, settlements, Roads has been performed to and identified the changes between two different time periods. The results indicate that during the period under consideration, there is considerable decrease in the agricultural area and good increase in settlements. The Field study also revealed that though there is increase in settlements, but the area is still not developed with basic amenities such as drinking water facility to public, sewerage systems and lack of proper water recharge facilties.The paper emphasizes how modern geospatial techniques could be effectively used to detect the Land Use Land Cover changes within short span of time and suggest necessary measures.
