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.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Curriculum planning summary
Natural temptation will be to model every
qualification with rate in SFA spreadsheet
At what point does a fall in funding rate warrant
redesign of delivery or removing/replacing? -5%? -10%?
An increase in funding rates could mean planning
less as who wants to over-deliver?
Impact (winners and losers) likely to be very
varied, and with in-year funding you are in control
How will awarding organisations respond, and how
to ensure right quals rather than just well funded?

Data implications
Data quality still very important, and don’t expect
audit to be any less burdensome
There have been some changes to the individualised
learner record (ILR), but essentially same process
The ILR spec for 2013/14 is on theia.org.uk
The Data Service is “creating brand new, dynamic
systems”. LARA to become LARS, LIS to become
SKIFS and OLDC to become DES.

31. What Are The New Challenges?
Let’s identify the major issues and work
out how we can resolve them
Creative Learning Partners
34. • What does Due Diligence mean to
you, what is your experience of it
and what are your questions?
• What is our current view and
experience of Due Diligence on the
ground?
• What do we think the direction of
travel is for Due Diligence as a
process?
Responding to Emerging Issues?
Necessity…
Demand Led… or
Embedded?
34
35. • We are in an ever changing market ?
• Government still believe sub-contracting delivers a “modern
and cost effective supply chain”
• Continuous appetite for innovation, wider range of provision
and change?
• Continued drive for More with Less!
• Improving Quality – More Responsive / Engaging – More
Rigour
• Remember: You are “Paid for Paperwork” BUT “judged on
Performance and Quality” the balance between these two
has never been more important (This is where the DD battle
ground is..)
• RTO does not mean you will get any cash! 13/14 Funding
Rules: College must carry out Stringent due diligence on any
potential sub contractor.

20 Essential Elements of DD
• Check due diligence process (make sure you know what they want)
Don’t be complacent even with primes you know.
• Make sure information you send is current and in date.
• Hype and propaganda (stick to justifiable reality)
• Check you credit score / Look at accounting ratios (RTO is a good
benchmark) Meeting medium and long term liabilities.
• Policies / Procedures are they up to date, do they show review?
• How is IAG assessed
• CVs & Certs of staff relevancy and up to date?
• IV’s and EV reports are they OK? (Actioned?)
• Centre approval/Direct Claims Status
• Minutes of meetings (if you say you meet, have evidence)
• RTO registered ? (vital at all levels)
• UK Provider Ref Number
• Sub Contractor Declaration to SFA ?
• Health & Safety Risk assessments / Reports
• Equality of Opportunity
• Delivery Locations and standards.
• Profile of Learners and sector offer. (Why You?)
• At risk policy
• New Education & Training Qual - Award L3, Certificate L4 &
Diploma L5
• Embed DD into Quality Cycle and SAR process
39. 39
• RTO, Assurance, Due Diligence are key processes that need to be built into
your planning processes. Move from “Reactive to Strategic.”
• From “Backward Looking to Forward Thinking.”
• No hype, propaganda or hearsay, just verifiable facts. (no wrong signals)
• Open honest relationships are key.
• Justification means no quick contacts.
• Short term risk averse primes.
• Look beyond the obvious to make you stand out.
• Digging, references, social media, guarantees, warranties & caution.
• Said in same breath as SAR, QIP and CIF……
• Remember…it is a key “selling document” too!
