This will be based on the secondary data were collected from District Industry Centre, District Statistical Handbook, Land Use Master Plan and Census data (PCA, 2011) as well as personal survey on the basis of digital map prepared by Google earth satellite imagery and application of modern tools and techniques of GIS and Remote Sensing in better planning for the industrial development of Maunath Bhanjan city.
