Information on Land use/ Land cover in the form of maps and statistical data is very vital for spatial planning, management and utilization of land. The aim of this study is to detect land use changes between 2006 to 2016 using satellite images of Land set-8. Land use land cover change has become a central component in current strategies for managing natural resources of a region. Urban expansion has brought serious losses of agriculture land, vegetation and water bodies. Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System technology are providing new tools for monitoring these fast land use changes. The present study using Land set-8 data demonstrates the scope, methodology and outcomes of land use/land cover change mapping of Chitrakoot district in Uttar Pradesh which comes under Bundelkhand region. The land use/land cover classes in the study area are divided into eight categories. Agriculture land has decreased between 2006 and 2016. Major changes are seen from 2006 to 2016 for the built-up, agriculture land, water bodies and wasteland.
