Abstract
Land use is the human utilization for money, private, recreational, conservational and administrative purposes. The idea of land use is firmly interwoven with human network advancement. Examples of human turn of events and land use have molded the earth legitimately and internationally since ancient occasions. Current improvement designs, along with highlights of the common habitat and the outcomes of past advancement exercises, decide future advancement openings, and furthermore the requirement for rebuilding or upgrade of natural assets. North-east India is the abode of highly endemic flora and fauna preserving the pristine environment with little human interference until recent times. However, for past two decades a drastic change in the land use pattern in the region has been observed which may threaten the fragile ecological balance of the region. Tripura, known as one of the seven sisters, is a bamboo resource and second largest rubber producer in India. Tripura has the highest number of primate species found in any Indian state. However, as compared to its other sisters, the state is economically backward. The land use of the state is undergoing rapid change which is facilitated to a great extent by rapidly increasing population. The present paper deals with the changing land use of Tripura especially in the last two and a half decades. The objective of the study is to analyse the changing land use of the state in general and changes in agricultural and non-agricultural land use in particular based upon the data collected from secondary sources like Statistical Abstract of Tripura, Population Tables of Census 1991, 2001 and 2011 along with the information collected from various government websites.

Summary
Land cover (LC) change is one of the most significant and effectively discernible pointers of progress in biological system administrations and vocation emotionally supportive networks. Urban communities are dynamic; this is on the grounds that change is unavoidable These progressions can be credited to one factor or the other relying upon financial, political and climatic state of a given territory. Land use and land cover change has become a focal segment in current methodologies for overseeing normal assets and checking ecological changes. Land use and land cover (LULC) changes have become a focal segment in current methodologies for overseeing common assets and observing ecological changes (Muttitanon & Tripathi, 2008). It is flanked toward the north, west, and south by Bangladesh, toward the east by the territory of Mizoram, and toward the upper east by the province of Assam It is among the littlest of India’s states and is situated in a confined bumpy area of the nation, with different indigenous individuals or clans representing a huge bit of the populace. Deforestation may likewise influence the greenery which is existing in the forests (Longkumer, Raj & Solanki, 2019)
