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

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

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.

6. There goes the saying “all good things come to an end”, i have been part
of AIESEC for the past 3 years and AIESEC has been one of my most
fulfilling experience to date. My last role as Regional coordinator in Africa
was an eye opening journey about the world problems and mainly Africa
as a region. I have met remarkable individuals driving impact in the region
and they really contributed to make my visit in their respective countries a
memorable one. I would say a trip in Africa is a must in a lifetime; to experi-
ence the cultures, the people’s warmth and the nature. It is a place where
you find yourself relevant and useful, one you leave this place you always
remember how privilege you were and strive to better the environment
around you wherever you are. Being Regional Coordinator challenged the
plan for the upcoming years and i will always cherish these moments.
While joining the Africa in Me team last year in August i was thrilled to
work with a virtual team to position Africa as a first choice destination for
exchange. It was clear that a picture of havoc, war and diseases was
what Africa was perceived as. Along with this team of 4 members which
expanded later to 7 members we embarked on this journey, with that same
passion for Africa. We are not there yet with regards to positioning Africa
as a first choice destination though we made much progress through the
online portal www.africainme.org to showcase those powerful experiences
being delivered all over the land of Sahara by those 19 entities driving posi-
tive impact. I join the Africa in Me team to better portray Africa and besides
the fulfilment of this aim, i loved being part of this team where ideas flowed
and where once something was done we are always looking for what is
next. i was a great virtual team experience and i am sure i will meet my
fellow Africa in Me team mates again.

“Africa as a Region has been growing over the years but it has still not
been able to demonstrated the massive grow needed to position AIESEC
rightly on this continent. I am of the opinion that African countries have
not been able to fully capitalize on their unique national positions and
have not collaborated well enough to ensure massive growth of the indi-
vidual countries. As an organization that aims to become 10 times bigger,
with just two more years to reach our mid-term ambition, there is a need
for change in the way things are done to ensure that this Region contrib-
utes adequately to AIESEC 2015. As MCP of a top performing entity in
Africa, I am aware of the crucial nature of the role of the Regional Coor-
dinator with respect to AIESEC International’s focus and strategy for the
coming year.
Africa as a region has a potential for massive growth and the successful
implementation of Africa in Me will enable us to capitalize on our simi-
larities, differences and blooming external resources to ensure massive
growth of AIESEC in the Region staying true to the relevance of AIESEC
in our dear Region Africa.
I am really passionate about seeing this
happen and hence my application as the
Regional Coordinator.Together we can
work hard to make this a reality.”

“After finishing my Bachelor Psychology I decided to do something
different. I wanted to do voluntary work and heard about AIESEC.
My idea was to go to Africa for 3-4 months. Unfortunately most
projects were only 6-8 weeks. Somebody suggested: why not two
internships in two different countries? Yeah, why not? So I decided
to go to Uganda (East Africa) and Ghana (West Africa), all by my-
self.”

ePIC Moments “Powerful African stories captured in images”
Think about the pictures EP will take during your internship, each
one captures a special moment on your journey but only one will
stand out… it will best capture the moment that EP will always re-
member from this experience.
ePIC Moments requires EPs to tell the
story behind thepicture of their choice,
bringing it to life and sharing it with the
people back home. All LCs of AIESEC in
Africa, will use the images from ePIC
Moments for promotion of African
experiences on africainme.org. EP will be
supporting us in this way to better portray
what Africa truly is, breaking stereotypes
and helping us build a new story; all this by doing something as
simple as sharing their point of view through photo and the story
behind it!
Untold Africa “Stories to inspire”
Non-governmental organizations and influential community lead-
ers play a key role in building Africa’s future. Their stories often go
untold but they can inspire us to play our role in building the future
of our local communities.
This activity require EPs to volunteer at an NGO or shadow an in-
fluential community leader for at least a day. During this day, EP’s
role will be to act as a reporter of what this
people and organizations do and how they
contribute to the building of a better Africa. We
expect EPs to create a short video documentary
as output, so that we can together get this
stories out in the open and start portraying a
different face of Africa.
Let their stories inspire and capture the
experience to spread the voice and inspire
others around the world. This will be shared and
posted on africainme.org

and craftsmen/women and will have
a chance to organize an event for the
hosting community.
The EP will be expected to become a
reporter and capture on video and
pictures this special activities. The
videos will be used to showcase EP’s
experience and what he/she has learned from the artist chosen.
At the same time will help us share with the word the incredible
beauty behind the art work of these remarkable people in our local
communities.
Activ8 Joy “Playing for a purpose”
Sports and games is what unites communities by bringing people
together with a common goal in mind. Providing joy and happiness
to children is an added benefit and one that will make your experi-
ence of Africa complete.
