Mapping of land use/land cover is important for global monitoring studies, resource management and planning activities. Human activities have modified environment for thousands of years. Significantly population increase, migration and accelerated socio-economic activities have intensified these environmental changes over the last several centuries. An attempt has been made to study the land use/land cover of Ambala district having a total geographic area of 1574 sq. km. The base map of the study area was prepared using Survey of India Toposheets. The base map was used to prepare thematic map on it. The main objectives of the study were to analyze and interpret satellite data for Land Use/Land Cover mapping and to generate geodatabase of the district in GIS format. Land use/ Land cover categories identified in this area were Agricultural crop land, Plantation, Wastelands, Built-up area & water body.
