This problem got solved by first checking the gdal version using the command "gdalinfo --version"...once u get the version, edit these lines of code in settings.py file of your project by removing the extension .dll by replacing with ... GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH = r'C:\OSGeo4W\bin\gdal310' GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH = r'C:\OSGeo4W\bin\geos_c.dll'
