Need to get spatial data on land uses of Tamil Nadu at national and state level. Data should preferably be compatible with ArcGIS 9.1. Any leads appreciated.
If you don't need necessary a shapefile, you can try to create your own land use data by teledetection using satellite imagery. For begining you can use free datas from USGS earth explorer (Landsat imagery). Then you will have to classification model to convert your raster data to shapefile.
