But none has been done by coupling a forest and/or green cover angle to that of Bhuvan (Indian Geo Platform of Indian Space Research Organization). In this study the attempt has been made to analyse the LULC trend reflected in Bikaner part of Thar desert in recent decades by using data from Bhuvan.
