Abstract	The stellar population in the nearby galaxies are used to understand the formation, evolution and the structure of the galaxies. With the advent of large telescopes we have been able to understand the older population and hence the early evolution of the neighbouring galaxies. A large number of surveys using small telescopes with large field of view have enabled us to cover larger areas of the galaxies including our own, which has resulted in tracing various merger remnants. The future telescopes as well as future instrumentation on large telescopes hold the key to unravel the mysteries presented by our own as well as the nearby galaxies.
