The primary objective of the study was to map and monitor the land use/cover on 1:50,000 scale for the whole country/NER which was carried out under National Resource Census project in collaboration with Department of Space, GOI.
Outputs of the project:
- Generated land use/land cover maps data base for the period 2005-2006 using three seasons (Kharif, Rabi & Zaid) LISS III satellite data of each period.
- Geodatabase creation based on standard codification and integration with base details and generation of seamless digital data at district/state/national level.
- Provided a state of land use report for the whole country with details for each district/state. This input can be used for planning exercises at various levels.
