Land is a non-renewable resource and mapping of Land Use/Land Cover (LU/LC) is essential for planning & development of land and water resources in a region of engineering projects under progress. Land is an area of the earth surface, which embraces all reasonable stable or predictably cyclic, attribute of the biosphere including the atmosphere, soil and underlying geology. Remote Sensing (RS) satellite data with its synoptic view and multispectral data provides essential information in proper planning of LU/LC conditions of the larger areas. An attempt have been made to delineate the level-I, level-II and level-III LU/LC classification system through NRSC guidelines (1995) using both digital and visual image interpretation techniques by Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software’s. The classification accuracy is found to be precise in case of digital technique as compared to that of visual technique in terms of area statistics. Efforts have been made to classify the LU/LC patterns using FCC data of IRS-1D PAN+LISS-III (Band: 2,3,4) through Erdas Imagine v2011 and ArcGIS v10. The final results highlight the potentiality of geoinformatics in natural resource mapping and its management which is a suitable model for application to similar geological terrain.
