Moreover, this is becoming scarce resource due to immense agricultural and demographic pressure. Systematic study of any place requires information regarding the land use/ land cover of particular place to perform wide variety of tasks. Remote Sensing can provide important data for land use/land cover mapping. In the present study, satellite data IRS P6 LISS III for Bhind district, Madhya Pradesh was classified using supervised classification. Satellite data classification accuracy was also performed and resulted in overall accuracy as 95.75%. Keywords- Land use/Land cover, Image Classification, Reference Data, Accuracy Assessment, Kappa Statistic Citation: Upadhyay R., et al.
