Abstract
The malaria endemic problem is major concern in 14 states and the highland areas of north eastern states and the eight other states of India. The annual prevalence of malaria is estimated 75 million and the death rate is 8 lakhs during the year 1953, and it is gradually reduced to 1.04 million cases and a death rate is 678 in the year 2010. Though a significant result was obtained by the national malaria control programs, the urban and the highland malaria is a very big challenging problem in India.

Remote sensing is a most reliable and repetitive coverage of areal and temporal aspects and it could provide the information on changing the land use/land cover of wetland agricultural practices by introducing the irrigation practices in the newer areas provides the breeding sites for Japanese Encephalitis (JE) and malaria vectors [1013]
The present study is to appreciate the use of red and infra-red Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) WiFS multispectral data for land use/land cover mapping on 1:25,000 scale, and the remote sensing resource satellite data has been significantly used for mapping the malaria, and Japanese encephalitis (JE) vector breeding habitats with spatial consistency of overall accuracy of 90 per cent accuracy
Summary
The malaria endemic problem is major concern in 14 states and the highland areas of north eastern states and the eight other states of India.
