Monitoring croplands accurately is crucial for making decisions such as managing crops, and crop damage claims handling, particularly within central India here because of the uncertainty of the weather, crop inconsistency is high. Vegetable Pea acting a crucial part in ensuring food & nutritional security of large number of vulnerable populations residing in central India. Many Asian countries include reliable data on the cultivated area for crops as part of their national vegetable production and supply accounting. To improve the accuracy of cultivated area assessments, these countries are increasingly turning to remote sensing tools. This study specifically focuses on using Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques for estimating area of vegetable pea cultivation within Jabalpur district, Madhya Pradesh. Accurately identifying the crop and estimating its acreage at the regional or district level requires high-resolution satellite data. Therefore, this study utilized Sentinel-2A satellite data for the analysis. The Maximum Likelihood Classification method was employed for satellite image classification. According to the RS and GIS analysis, the estimated area for the year 2021 is 31091.42 hectares.
