The city Mahendragarh is the district Mahendragarh has seen significant extension & development during the last few years. In this paper, the change in land-use/cover has been estimated with time range of 1991 - 2025 and the change detection was quantified. The land-use/cover data generated through satellite imagery has been classified into four major classes i.e., (i) Built-up land (ii) Water Bodies (iii) open area (iv) Vegetation. The investigation is helped out through Geoinformatics approach by using, LANDSAT 5TM, LANDSAT 7 ETM, LANDSAT 8-9 OLI /TIRS, LANDSAT 8-9 OLI /TIRS. Observing of land-use/spread mirrored that changes were more noteworthy in degree over the time range of 35 years in the land under various classes. The most sensational changes are the increase in built-up land. Apart from this decrease in vegetation cover area and open area also. Results demonstrates an expansive change in the territory of various land use classifications amid the period from 1991 to 2025. The open land covering an area of about 43 percent in 1991 reduced to 17 percent in 2025. The built-up area increased from 18 percent in 1991 to 65 percent in 2025. The barren land area increased from 6.45 % in 2007 to 16.97 in 2017 The Water bodies increased 3 percent from 1991 to 4 percent in 2025. The vegetation area has also decreased from 36 percent in 1991 to 14 percent in 2025. Urban extension and various anthropogenic exercises have brought genuine misfortunes of agricultural land, vegetation and water bodies.
