Abstract	The current study analyses the spatio-temporal patterns of land use and land cover in Purba Medinipur District, West Bengal. To achieve the aims, employ Landsat 5 TM (1991-2001, 2011) and Landsat OLI/TIRS (2021) data from the USGS portal. The supervised classification approach is employed for picture classification. The results indicate that the district's general land use pattern has significantly and unpredictably transformed over the past 30 years in response to the demands of population growth. Nevertheless, the district has encroached upon and devastated agricultural regions adjacent to populated areas. The woods and shrublands have been eradicated. Resources have been appropriated from others through contemporary investments in hydropower facilities, industrial sectors, and transportation infrastructures.
