One of the most important agriculture related issues in the state of Assam is to improve the agricultural output with an efficient use of available land resources. Agriculture is the prime economic activity for most of the people of Assam but the overall production figures for different agricultural crops are still stands at a notably lower level compared to the national average. The aim of the present study is to assess the physical land suitability level for Mustard crop using a Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) method with the help of GIS & Remote sensing tool. The existing pattern of physiographic, meteorological and soil based components were thoroughly considered for the identification & mapping of mustard cultivation sites of Kamrup district with the help of geospatial tool. Present Landuse/Land cover scenario of the study area highlig...

The result shows that there is substantial change of land use / land cover in the region. The dense forest in the region has declined from 26.73% in the year 1991 to 13.96% in 2013. Similarly the percentage of open forest has decreased from 55.40% in the year 1991 to 48.98% in 2013. On the other hand the agricultural land in the region has increased from 10.65% in the year 1991 to 17.77% in 2013. Built up area has also showed a rising trend from 0.57% in the year 1991 to 3.29% in 2013. The current research has also identified that the traditional agricultural practices in the region has been gradually replaced by the plantation crops. It is also evident from the current research that remote sensing and GIS tools are quite applicable for monitoring and assessment land use / land cover change at landscape level.

GIS and Remote sensing techniques have been adopted for the identification of different morphological features and to analyze their existence in a hilly river basin of Meghalaya plateau, which is located in the two North-East Indian states of Meghalaya and Assam. Morphometric analysis of any drainage basin can be very much effective in determining the landform characteristics and the processes and components behind its development. The morphometric parameters of the study area have been discussed with respect to linear, areal and relief aspects. The geological formation of the basin area varies from Shillong group of rocks in the undulated hilly areas of Meghalaya plateau to unconsolidated river alluvium in the plain parts of Brahmaputra valley. It is a 7th ord...

2013 has been used to understand the land use / land
cover change in Garo hill region of Meghalaya. The
result shows that there is substantial change of land use /
land cover in the region. The dense forest in the region
has declined from 26.73% in the year 1991 to 13.96% in
2013. Similarly the percentage of open forest has
decreased from 55.40% in the year 1991 to 48.98% in
2013. On the other hand the agricultural land in the
region has increased from 10.65% in the year 1991 to
17.77% in 2013. Built up area has also showed a rising
trend from 0.57% in the year 1991 to 3.29% in 2013. The
current research has also identified that the traditional
agricultural practices in the region has been gradually
replaced by the plantation crops. It is also evident from
the current research that remote sensing and GIS tools
are quite applicable for monitoring and assessment land
