Abstract
From agriculture point of view, the changes taken place in land use and land cover is particularly important. The conventional methods ofassessment of watershed development programme through data collection, are uneconomical, biased, time consuming. The study wascarried out at Rukhed watershed, Akot taluka of Akola district using IRS IC, LISSIII data covering the sub watershed for post treatmentperiod. The data was normalized and analyzed to assess the changes in land-use/land-cover that have occurred over a reasonable period.The study revealed that the agriculture land, built up area, waste land, and water bodies increased by 2.37, 0.77, 7.00, 9.39%, whereasforest land was found to be decreased by 19.3% over the period of study i.e. 2008 to 2015. These changes might be taken place due towatershed development programme undertaken at Rukhed watershed
