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.

Lose or Cruise – A Binary Choice Everything For You
- Avijit Pal (1st Year, MBA) - N.M Leepsa (Research Scholar, VGSOM)
Being at a loss is a feeling you shouldn‟t feel When joy comes like breeze wind
If you are keen enough to make it a zeal. When smile stays in gate of mind
Lessons are what you take away from a loss, All feeling flows like the river kind
Opportunity is what you get to cover the flaws. Love of your my heart remind
Remember, even evolution stems from losing in the
present My soul sings many wishes
Only to add new skills and starting from the nascent. Peace appear like god blesses
It is darkness which provides you a sense of light, Happiness touch you like angel‟s kisses
Its the losers who make the victor seem bright. All for you and your success
Life is a sojourn with experiences galore,
Get off the worries and come to the fore. Life too short and so long my desire
Where chance is a risk and risk a choice, To do everything for you with care
Capture the melody or become a noise! A cheerful face in Life Empire
Victor has the might, being hard to beat, Lively sunrise everyday to acquire
You have the sight of what not to repeat.
Fight to the hilt, when battles arise, My wishes so pure and my feelings so true
Loss is not the end, but an option to rise. That comes from heart like morning dew
Everything you dream be it for you
Sorrow and suffering if ever come be few
Sketch by Ranjeet Kumar Singh (1st Year, MBA): No friends leave you new or old
They be with you in days of hot and cold
A praying hand be there to hold
Stay forever with or without gold
You stay as winner in hearts of million
God stay with you for truthful vision
No egos or pride pull legs when you risen
Each day each moment bliss be woven
All these smiles I want to return
From thought of your which are born
Those have dwelt in my lips in times of thorn
Let those smiles your lips now adorn
