The present research study undertakes a detailed geographical analysis of the land use classification of Jashpur district, situated on the north-eastern corner of Chhattisgarh state. Due to its distinct geomorphological structure, Jashpur district is divided into two distinct geographical regions known as 'Upper Ghat' and 'Nichghat' which directly influence the land use classification. The primary objective of this research is to classify the current utilization of available land resources in Jashpur district, to assess the area falling under various categories and to conduct a geographical analysis of the changes observed in these categories over time. Both primary and secondary data have been used in this study. Government statistical reports (such as the District Statistical Handbook and the District Census Handbook-2011), along with LISS III satellite data, 2022 and Arc-GIS techniques, were applied to generate land use classification maps. Paddy is the principal crop of the region, cultivated across approximately 75-82% of the total arable land. In recent years, Jashpur has witnessed an expansion of tea and coffee plantations alongside traditional crops. The study reveals that, owing to Jashpur's rugged topography and limited irrigation facilities, the land resources are not being utilized to their full potential. Consequently, for the sake of sustainable development, there is a pressing need for scientific land use planning and the promotion of horticultural crops.
