This paper has been attempted the Land use Land cover Change analysis of Jaunpur district U.P. Land is becoming a scarce resource due to immense agricultural and demographic pressure. Hence, information on land use/land cover change is essential for the selection, planning and implementation of land use schemes to meet the increasing demands for basic human needs and welfare. The study area has been situated in Eastern Uttar Pradesh of the Middle Ganga Plain. The main objective of this study is to analyses the land use pattern in Jaunpur district in 2001 and 2021 and trace the change in land use pattern. The land use / land cover (LULC) change analysis in present investigation has been largely based on secondary data like Landsat 7 (ETM +) dated 24 October 2001 and Landsat 8 (OLI& TIRS) dated 24 October 2001 data of path and row 142/43 for the years 2001 and 2021 have been downloaded from the USGS website, survey of India topographical sheets and google earth image. Five major class change analysishas been done by using Matrix Union Method. The result shown that 711 km2 area of Natural vegetation was notified in 2001, while in 2021, it reduced and 156 km2 noted, which is 13 per cent negative change in the wetland. The water body accrues the total 246 km2 area in 2001 while it has been negatively changing in 2021 and shrink within 166 km2.
