LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Executive Summary
The Merchandising department is the most important part of the export oriented business. It increases the
opportunity for entrepreneurship development in garment sector. Thus it helps the unemployed people as
well as the government to remove unemployment problem and also play an important role in the economic
development of the country.
I have worked there three months as requirement of the internship phase of BBA program under the
BRAC Business School. My topic is Costing Techniques in Garments Sector of Bangladesh: Shore to
Shore (BD) Ltd. This Report is originated as a partial requirement of BBA program.
In order to achieve perfect garment costing, one must know about all the activities including purchase of
fabrics, sewing, packing, transport, overheads, etc and also about their costs, procedures, advantages and
risk factors.
The Bangladeshi apparel industry is very large and diverse, employing 6 million people and accounting
for 87 per cent of the country's exports. The apparel industry plays a pivotal role as a key driver of the
national economy and has grown to be the most significant contributor to the country's economy over
nearly three decades of its existence. However, during last 10 years, the industry's actions, government
policies as well as market events have begun to converge, providing several growth opportunities for the
sector domestically as well as in the global market.
As the MFA quota-regime ended, Bangladesh presented many opportunities for buyers, suppliers and
investors to collaborate with its textile industry, and to profit from the partnership. While the industry
recorded a remarkable growth in a protected market environment, it faces a series of challenges that have
come to the fore in the post-quota situation, notably in areas such as:
• Price competitiveness.
• Faster lead times.
• High raw material base.
• Full service offering.

The internship Program
I started my internship at Shore to Shore (BD) Ltd. From February 05, 2013 however I have got an
opportunity to work as Product Development Executive (H&M) in the merchandising Department.
Job Responsibility
In my job responsibility, it was clearly mentioned that I suppose to take care of a particular brand’s all
accessories merchandising activities therefore I have been given H&M brand and perform the
following mentioned jobs.
• Email communication with foreign H&M buyers, buying house and garment supplier.
• Develop new samples for H&M according to the artwork ( Woven, PFL, Paper Item, Heat
Transfer)
• Follow up the development status and take approval from H&M on new developments.
• Forward the approved samples reference numbers to Customer service and Marketing Executive
• Follow up the production status of the bulk production.
• Take weekly updates of the current material status and notify the production line and also guild
them in case of any material comes in short, which material they should use as corresponding
material.
• Notify buyer the current bulk production status.
• Ensure delivery time to the customer service to notify the garment supplier.
• Other related jobs.
Daily Routine
I worked for Shore to Shore (BD) Ltd in the Product development section. I work there 6days a week
and my office hour is 9am to 6pm however since I am in a very responsible position therefore there
are many days I had to work more than the actual working hours. At the beginning of my job, they
introduce me with their all resources and their business structural system so that I can run their
business as a business partner along with others but not as an employee. They gave me almost all
primary data of the functions of the different sections of the business to learn about their business and
after that, they appoint me as Product Development Executive aka Accessories Merchandiser and
authorized me to take necessary steps, decisions and establish communication with buyers and
suppliers of the material. Since this was my first job consequently I faced my problems in
understanding and I always noted my problems and in those time, my seniors and Directors were very
co-operative and helpful which makes my job to understand much easier and faster.
14. 14
Use of Machineries
In Shore to Shore (BD) Ltd, as a executive of Product Development Dept aka accessories
merchandiser, I was allowed to used almost every machineries of the office and authorize to go
almost every part of the office and factories at any point of time however I usually use the following
machineries to work in my daily activities.
• Computer and Internet
• Photocopy Machine
• Fax Machines
• Tele-phone
Essential Knowledge
The merchandiser must have some essential knowledge and skill about the accessories like Woven
label, PFL (Printed Fabric Label), Paper Items ( PaperTop, Hang Tag, Insert Card etc), Heat Transfer
Print etc. They should have sound knowledge about the Yarn, Dye and Chemicals used in Woven and
Printed fabric Label; Colors, paper material in Paper Item; Katalyst, Color and Chemicals in Heat
Transfer Items. This is significant merchandiser since they are also making deal with buyers and
customers and when buyer provides their comment and their view point, merchandiser can easily
understand what buyer actual wants from them and supply the samples accordingly for approval since
bad samples of accessories might cause rejection of the sample and loss of business therefore
merchandiser has to be very careful with product quality and price.
Material List
The merchandise has to know the total materials of the product and its price so that he can estimate
the costing of the final product and I have learned how to prepare the list.
Paper Item
• Paper
• Ink
• Plate
• Film
• Emboss dye
• UV mesh
• Heat lamination film
• Hot foil Dye
• Eye lid
• Rebid

learn about the costing techniques in garments accessories sector of Bangladesh. As learning, the
merchandising sector will be helpful in feature. After completing the report BRAC Business can
understand about the merchandise process and could get some idea about recent garments situation.
Statement of the Problems
Here I will be focusing on the element which are effected the merchandiser to make the costing of the
product and how they motivated the buyers to buy the Shore to Shore’s products. How they are getting the
raw materials. How they are getting the order and supply of raw material. Who are their whole sellers?
These are the things that we want to find from this study.
Scope of the Study
For any business school student only curriculum activities are not enough for handling the real business
situation. Internship is a part of the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) Degree that provides a
job experience for the students. Internship program is a perfect match of the theoretical and practical
knowledge. The Report is originated to fulfill the requirement of the internship program under BBA
program.
I tried to collect more information about the importance of marketing and merchandising section for the
export oriented sweaters garments industry. The current strategy of Shore to Shore (Bd) ltd is emphasized
specially in marketing and merchandising division. The principle of the company is to develop and
maintain strong relation with buyers and garment suppliers
• The study will also help me to understand the costing techniques in garments sector.
• The study will give a clear idea about the costing activities of Shore to Shore (BD) Ltd.
• The guiding principle of the company is to develop and maintain strong, secure relation with
buyers and garment suppliers.
Delimitations of the Study
I tried to make the Report complete and successful. But I faced many problems when I conducted with
directors and other officers of Shore to Shore (BD) Ltd. They tried to avoid many questions. It was not
possible for me to collect all the care information from the organization. The management personnel and
clients were too busy to provide me much time for interview. As we know that merchandising is very big
part of industry. Since three month is very short time to learn therefore it was very hard for me to know
every part of merchandising and make a complete Report.

The major delimitations are pointed below:
• Due to time limitation many of the aspects could not be discussed in the present report.
• Every organization has their own secrecy that is not suppose to be revealed to others. That in the
reason they did not disclose much information.
• Since the buying house personnel were very busy, they could provide me very little time.

Literature Review
The RMG industry of Bangladesh has expanded dramatically over the last three decades.
Traditionally, the jute industry dominated the industrial sector of the country until the 1970s. Since
the early 1980s, the RMG industry has emerged as an important player in the economy of the country
and has gradually replaced the jute industry. To support this industry, there are many other industries
also emerged and garment accessories industry is one of them. The export quota system in trading
garment products played a significant role in the success of the industry. However that quota system
came to an end in 2004 therefore the competitiveness rose dramatically and special attention was
required to the long-term sustainability of the industry.

acceptable for external reporting.
It has been suggested that the pricing decision is one of the most important and most difficult decision that
management have to take. Too much high price may prevent customers from buying and low demand may
result in the company not to covering fix cost and therefore a loss will result. A low level of the demand
may be below the breakeven level. If the price is set too low, the company may generate a negative
contribution a lose again will arise.

Negotiation with the buyers
Business Collaboration
The most critical work is the procurement of garment accessories export order. Normally garment
accessories export order is found from the potential garment importers called garment buyer. Anybody
wants to collect garments export order, should be able to convince the buyer. When the buyer is convinced
about garment accessories production, its quality, costing and shipment ability of a exporter, he or she can
think about issuing a garments accessories export order.
Without clear confidence among buyer & exporter from both sides, may be a risky business deal. If a
garment accessories exporter can continuously deal with only three or four buyer with buyer’s satisfaction,
it will be sufficient enough to run garment accessories production & run business smoothly round the year.
A successful negotiation outcome does not generally occur through luck, but by following a clear process.
The process reflects the different levels of knowledge of the subject of negotiation, various parties and the
way they communicate at various stages in the negotiation. The following is an outline of steps essential
to effective negotiation:
Researching the Needs of Both Parties
The greater the knowledge a buyer has of their own and the supplier’s requirements, the better able they
are to construct an acceptable solution. The buyer must be clear about both the department mark-up to be
placed on the product cost and the intended retail selling price so that she or he can judge the viability of
the suppliers’ products.
Preparation
Effective preparation is also vital to successful communication. It is essential that the buyer also has
identified the maximum and minimum positions that she will accept for a range of factors including:
• Product Price
• Order Size
• Lead- time
Offer
The buyer and supplier can make specific proposals to set the boundaries of the negotiation.
Discussion
There will be areas on which one side can move than more than the other and vice versa. It is important
for the buyer to make a note of which ones provide the greatest and least opportunities for flexibility.
Counter and Revised Offers
This is the real bargaining where elements of the order, such as number of units, product details, and lead-
time and so on are being decided in the context of an overall cost price the buyer should make firm
proposals.
25. 25
Processing of Order
After receiving the garment export order, without wasting any time, it is essential to prepare a schedule for
the jobs to be done for safe execution of the export order. The main jobs for the execution of an export
order are as follows:
• Details Analysis of Export L/C
• Preparation of a Time Schedule for the Export L/C
• Collection of Raw material for the production to be Exported [Source, Quantity of the Items, Cost
of the Items, Receiving Data of the items, Quality & Quantity, Inspection of the Items, etc]
• Distribution of Responsibilities for the Jobs & Duties
• Production Plan
• Inspection of the Produced item for Quality, Quantity, Packing & other Requirements of the
Buyer.
• Preparation of Banking & Shipment Formalities
• Continuous Follow-up Progress
• Others

Costing of job order
Costing Techniques in Garments Sector of Bangladesh:
Shore to Shore (BD) LTD
Cost decision & allocation typically depends on multiple variables. For any manufacturing firm it is
always confirmed that the cost is dependent of production volume. Hence it is also considered that other
dependent variables like overhead costs, transportation etc. has an impact on the overall costing. As a part
of my internship project I have tried to convey an in depth study on the costing strategy of a
manufacturing firm Shore to Shore (BD) Ltd. is basically a garment accessories manufacturing firm. This
organization follows traditional rule for their costing.
The classification of cost for this organization is differently presented. The cost here is classified as
Primary & Secondary cost which simply refers to Direct & Indirect cost. SME Sweaters Ltd. Categorize
the Primary Costs as-
• Merchandising Cost
• Production Cost &
• Placement Cost
And the Secondary Costs as-
• Overhead Cost
• Transportation Cost &
• Other Costs
The basic categories are even further classified into different specific cost elements.
Primary Costs
Merchandising Cost
Merchandising cost refers to direct purchases related to production. This cost typically depends on Order
Quantity. Merchandising cost includes all the costs starting from the initial buying process to the
placement process of merchandise. The merchandise cost can also be referred as direct material cost. The
negotiation with supplier basically depends on-
• Product Price: The product price clearly portrays the interest of both the parties in buying
decision. As a buyer the organization traditionally manages the cost as a benefit out of the alliance. As a
sweater manufacturing firm SME manages alliances with around 15 different suppliers. As international
product Sweater has demands all around the world especially in Europe. The different merchandise
requirement for sweater manufacturing is met through overseas contracts. The wool as fabric, yarn, etc.
The knitwear is a product which generally has a huge order quantity and therefore the order for buying
quantity.
27. 27
• Order Size: Order quantity depends on the order taken from the buyer of knitwear. Generally the
order is placed taking a month time. The quantity ordered is decided after the order is placed. Generally
the order is maximized for merchandise as referred to wastage. The order is maximized by 5% which
pretended to be wastage after production. So, that cost is also included & adjusted after the order is
delivered. And the un-wasted products are kept as sample & also released to local market and the cost is
also adjusted through that but the revenue is here declined. The wastage cost is annually adjusted however
the damaged products are released to open market in lots.
Production Cost
This is to most crucial cost as a direct cost. The direct cost of Garments Sector of Bangladesh depends on
different factors as this is a Government Subsidized sector. The Production cost is allocated as follows-
• Direct Labor Cost: Direct labor cost is directly related to the production. The direct labor cost refers
to the workers related to the production process. The factory workers are regularly paid & also paid
for the overtime. The overtime cost is 100% markup of regular pay for any worker as per the labor law
of Bangladesh. The Direct labor cost sometimes estimated as hourly pay and sometimes production
unit based. In order to calculate the per unit production cost it is required to find out the per unit labor
cost for direct labor. In Shore To Shore the labors are hourly paid for production however the
production perimeter for an hour is set by the line manager.
Placement Cost
The placement cost in Shore to Shore is referred to the order delivery cost. After the production is
completed now it is time to deliver the product to the buyer. The merchandiser is held responsible for all
the communication made with the buyer. The delivery process also encounters some cost those are
regarded to be primary cost for the organization.
The delivery is cost divided into different parts like-
Details Analysis of Export L/C and Opening L/C
As the orders are overseas, Shore to Shore opens L/C of required amount for export of certain amount of
product.
Shipment Cost
The organization then books the carrier to carry the shipment. It is the duty of the supplier to manage the
transport towards the buyer.
Insurance
The organization also pays for the insurance of the shipment. To eliminate the risk of damage the
organization needs to make insurance for the freight.
Travel Cost
Sometimes a representative on behalf of the Company is sent to the buyer to ensure the proper hand over
of the ordered product.
28. 28
Secondary Costs
Overhead Cost
Factory Overhead
Factory overhead cost is an annual cost which is annually adjusted to the cost sheet of the company. The
factory overhead cost includes the factory maintenance, deprecation of machineries, maintenance & repair
of machineries etc.
Indirect Production Cost
The direct production cost refers to the technical cost of production. The electricity usage during
production referred to the unit of electricity used for production is taken into account and then it is divided
with the total production unit to find out the unit production cost.
Transportation Cost
All the transportation made internally & externally is encountered under the secondary cost. The freight in
& freight out is paid by the company. This is adjusted as annual cost. Generally the transportation cost
arises from freight from doc to warehouse, warehouse to factory & the reverse in time of delivery.
Other Costs
Other indirect costs are not related directly to the production but annually these costs arise. These costs are
as follows-
• Selling Expense
• Administrative Expenses
• Interest expense
• Capital Expenditure

Cost Calculation of the Products
Cost calculation of Paper Item (100x70mm size Hang Tag for 1000 pcs)
Raw material = Ensocoat 300gsm paper board C2S
Per ton (1ton=10000sheets) paperboard cost USD1300 includes all external cost
Therefore per sheet cost ($1300/10000sheets)= $0.13/sheet
Paper Board Cost
Paper Board size = 22x44inch and output of 100x70mm Hang Tag from a Sheet is 136pcs
1000 pcs Hang Tag needs (1000/136)pcs=7.35 or 8sheets which includes 15% wastage.
Which cost (8x$0.13)=$1.04/1000pcs.
Plate Cost (Fixed Cost)
$10
Ink Cost 15% for 25000pcs
$10X10%= $1
Finishing Cost 5% (Die-cut, lamination, UV-lacquer)
$10x5%=$0.5
Packing Cost 5%
(1.04+1.5+10)=12.54x5%=$0.63
Common Cost 10% (common costs includes : LEASING - ELECTRICITY - CMT - FINANCIAL COSTS - CAR
EXPENSES BANK EXPENSES - EXHIBITION EXPENSES - RETURN & WASTE COST - MARKETING COST)
($1.04+$1.5+$10+$0.63)=13.17x10%= $1.32/1000pcs
Other Cost 5% (Includes All indirect cost)
($13.17+$1.32)=$14.49X5%= $0.72/1000pcs
Total Cost for 1000pcs
$14.49+$0.72=$15.21
Profit Margin 10% for 1000pcs
$15.21X 10%= $1.52
Price of the Goods
$15.21+$1.52=$16.73/1000pcs
Therefore as we can see through this costing method, the price of the good is $16.73/1000pcs. And
this costing is also similar to other woven label costing and printed fabric label costing.

Analysis of Costing
I have discussed the costing & classification of costing followed by Shore to Shore (BD) Ltd. Now
discussing the above scenario we can conclude that in order to maintain proper accountability and getting
precise information about the costing & for more accuracy Shore to Shore (BD) Ltd. follows the typical
costing technique which is widely known as Activity Based Costing (ABC) technique.
The Activity Based Method
Activity based costing is a relatively new type of procedure that can be used as an inventory valuation
method. The technique was developed to provide more accurate product costs. This improved accuracy is
accomplished by tracing costs to products through activities. In other words, costs are traced to activities
(activity costing) and then these costs are traced, in a second stage, to the products that use the activities.
The concept of ABC is illustrated in the enlarged graphic below. Another way to express the idea is to say
that activities consume resources and products consume activities. Essentially, an attempt is made to treat
all costs as variable, recognizing that all costs vary with something, whether it is production volume or
some non-production volume related phenomenon. Both manufacturing costs and selling and
administrative costs are traced to products in an ABC system. Note that treating selling and administrative
costs in this way is not acceptable for external reporting.
Findings
There are many types of Garments accessories, namely woven label, Printed Fabric Label, Paper Items,
Heat Transfer Label, Zippers, and Button etc. Costing is the deciding factor for fixing of prices and the
important thing to follow in all stages like purchase, production, marketing, sales, etc. Also update
knowledge about everything related to garments, is essential to make perfect costing.
Costing includes all the activities like purchase of raw material, processing and finishing item, packing of
item, transport and conveyance, shipping, over heads, banking charges and commissions, etc.
We must be aware that there are always fluctuations in the costs of raw materials, charges of knitting,
processing, finishing, packing, charges of transport and conveyance. The method of making costing will
vary from style to style. As there are many different styles in garments accessories. Hence let us take
Woven label as example which is in regular in use in all garment items.
To find out the costing of garment accessories, the following things should things be calculated
Yarn consumption.
Gross weight of other components
Yarn cost per kg.
yarn Costs per thousand Pieces of Woven Label
Other charges (Dying and testing).
CMT charges.
Cost of accessories (polybags, cartons, etc).
Transportation and other costs.

Actually merchandising field is a large area where a lot of business work is done by a lot of ways. The
most important thing is that, we have needed to choose the better & easier way to do our work. For
example if I want to say about L/C, that which types of L/C is the best for business? By knowing about the
L/C it seems to me that irrevocable is the best but in Revocable L/C, where no terms and condition is
present. All rights reserved for buyer or bank that opened it. He can stop it any time without any notice.
But in irrevocable L/C, there have terms and conditions for opening L/C. Once the L/C is opened for
beneficiaries & accepted, buyer or banker never reserve any right to close it. So it will help for both
parties.
Another important thing is material consumption. During the time of measurement, it suppose to take
highest part size of the items measurement which will help to find out the right consumption for material
& help in costing. Costing is important for a company. Right costing helps to get better profit for
company. So it should be made carefully.
Another thing is that merchandiser should take over all view on items faults during the time of production
& inspection. Because it seems to me that a merchandiser is everything for his company. That’s why
merchandiser should take better inspection process during the time of final inspection.
Other suggestions are:
• Reduce the wastage of recourses by developing strict management and controlling system.
• Shore to Shore should take their necessary decisions promptly. Their internal communication
should be more flexible so that top management can take decision quickly and it could manage more
buyers’ satisfaction.
• Shore to Shore should appoint efficient Quality assurance officer with some proper equipment to
reduce wastage in sample section.
• Operational and internal control department and technological training for the employees should
be introduced in Shore to Shore that increase the production efficiency in minimum lead time and can
reduce the cost of the production.
• Shore to Shore should introduce new marketing department for establishing the marketing plan.
Every organization needs to have their marketing plan. In Shore to Shore, Different marketing department
needed so that they can improve their business plan according to their capability and resource. As
garments sector depends on mainly one to one communication so for that skilled employees needed in this
sector that can convince actual buyers for getting orders and they can motivate potential buyers for future
orders.
• Shore to Shore should use the latest technology in all sections. As they should use their own web
page and it should be upgrade monthly. As so many potential customers can randomly visit there site and
can understand better about the organization. Also can easily contact with them.

Bangladesh is a developing country. In this country unemployment problem is slightly overcoming by our
garments or apparel sector. A huge number of people are working in this sector. Initially, the situation of
this sector is not so good but now a day this sector is earning a lot of foreign currency, around 75%-80%
of our total economic growth which is making our economic sector very strong. And merchandisers are
those people who are working here day to night in order to develop this sector. Merchandisers’ goal is to
collect order, execute, develop the best & supply the best.
It was a great pleasure for me to work in merchandising sector of Shore To Shore (BD) Ltd., which
provides me a wide range of scope to observe different function of buying house industry through the
cordial assistance of the employees and seniors. All the employees of Shore To Shore (BD) Ltd. tried to
give optimum service.
Now a day the buying house industries are facing a lot of challenges because of changing demand of
world. Besides this many competitors are also a main factor that makes this sector challenging. So, Shore
To Shore (BD) Ltd. should take proper step to survive properly in this sector by removing their
weaknesses. They should give authority to take independent decision at high level officer. If that, the
company can be benefited because of taking decision the work some time delay. They should justify
competitive key factors in the management practices like cost, product quality, image & reputation,
distribution & control of resources, capabilities etc.
From the learning point of view I can say that I really enjoyed my internship at Shore To Shore (BD) Ltd.
from the very first day. I am confident that these three months internship program at this sector will
definitely help me to realize my future carrier in the job.
