The rate and intensity of land use/land cover (LU/LC) change has increased considerably during the past couple of decades. Mining brings significant alterations in LU/LC specifically due to its impact on forests. Parts of Central India are well endowed with both forests and minerals. Here, the conflict between human interests and nature has intensified over time. Monitoring and assessment of such conflicts are important for land management and policy making. Remote sensing and Geographical Information System have the potential to serve as accurate tools for environmental monitoring. The changing rules of the landscape elements and their distribution in Jamuna Kotma coal mining area are analyzed by means of topomap (1973) and remote sensing images obtained in, 2000, 2009. Using support vector machine classification method, it can be classified into six land-use types: water, agriculture, Forest, mining, settlement and waste land. In 1973 forest area was 174 sq. km. while in 2000 it reduced 96 sq. km. and in 2009 forest area were left only 68 sq. km. Water bodies have increase due to the mining activities. In 2000 mining area was 47 sq km. and in 2009 mining area had increased up to 64 sq km. Agriculture land had been reduced from 167 sq. km. (1973) to 110 sq. km. (2000) to 88 sq. km (2009). Waste lands have been continuously increasing since 1973 (26 sq km) to 2000 (81sq km) to 2009 (93 sq km).
