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.

“Action bias” as the name suggests is when people act/ do stuff only so
that they cannot be accused of not trying. Scientists have often shown
that one sub-set of footballers are more prone to action bias than the rest
– and it is the assumption of action bias that leads to opposing players
trying out something against them.
Whatever is being tried actually has on average a 15% lower probability of
success than all other available options – with one such famous example
occurring late in the EPL this year.

A proto-Indian root word meaning ‘bitter’ was commonly used to refer to
crude, beer brewed in the countryside (a related word survives even today).
In the early 19th century, someone borrowed this root as the name for a
discovery from a bitter salt. A compatriot of his (more famous in another field),
some 30 years later would randomly lay into him saying that the name “is a
fossilized part of Latin speech, about as suited to the mouths of the populace as
an ichthyosauros cutlet or a dinornis marrow-bone.” – suggesting the
alternatives loam-silver and glebe-gold instead.

were judged to have violated an existing law banning depictions of a specific

Badr then asked the authorities what would happen “if he were to paint a still

This guy’s career has been somewhat closely tied to the fortunes of the
team he supports – his first ever win was the same day as the team
gaining promotion to the top-flight, his second two years later came just
13 minutes after the team’s greatest achievement to date and his fourth
coming just two weeks before the team’s latest major trophy win.
He has also turned an appearance at the team’s stadium post-wins into
something of a ritual.
Who is the person? What is he nicknamed?

His India sojourn was actually only a few years long – with the longest
continuous stretch between 1857 and 1860 when he was the first Principal of
what would later become the Deccan College in Poona. He did make a
couple of shorter visits again in the 1880s.
As the long-time editor of The Telegraph he was instrumental in African
affairs – he played a leading role in gathering funds and support for the
Stanley expedition to the Congo in the 1870s (with numerous things named
after him in tribute) and was the first to propose a ‘ ____ __ _____ _______’
– before the idea was hijacked by others and is now normally associated
with those people rather than him.
Who is this person – back in the news thanks to a recent work? What idea
had he proposed in the 1870s?

This coastal South American country supplies 95% of the global production of
wood from a species called Ochroma Pyramidale. Although a hardwood by
nature, the wood is among the softest, lightest, and still most durable and water-
resistant forms available – as a result of which it is much in demand globally.
Over the past couple of years especially – its use in making ‘one particular item’
has spiked demand (with large orders especially from India and China) –
somewhat ironically also leading to the large-scale destruction of forests of the
species wreaking havoc in the native country. What are these new items for
which Ochroma Pyramidale is exclusively used?
The common name from the species comes from Spanish and is a result of the
first use that natives of the country would have put the species to. What does the
Spanish derived common name translate to?

“Very surprisingly, this happens by the end of the first chapter itself. But they are so

The visuals on the next slide are from a 1992 ceremony at the National
Palace where the Alba facsimile was presented to the king and a visiting
head of state. This event was followed by a large public prayer meeting
and commemorative ceremony at the nation’s largest facility where the
king said ‘ _______ isn't a nostalgic memory anymore; it is a place to call
home...What matters is not accountability for what we may have done
wrong or right, but the willingness to look to the future, and analyze the
past in light of our future’

The art for this 1989 debut album was created by the band’s guitarist –
inspired by Jackson Pollock. He also incorporated a few additional
elements – based on something he had seen in a documentary covering
an event from two decades or so before the album released.
The title he chose for the painting also inspired the single you will hear on
the album that references both the historic event and the use that the
participants had made of this item.
What event ? What items and what use were they put to?

Apart from his primary claim to fame, he was also a fixture on the music
scene of the city – often DJing, and directing and producing music videos for
his genre inventing friends (visual follows). His friendship with these genre-
inventors was responsible for a certain motif featured across his works,
which was his way of trying to imitate a basic action that these pioneers
were performing. What motif in his works was inspired by the new genre?
In addition, he also was influenced by musical royalty from an older genre
(who often featured as subjects in his works) – and he incorporated another
motif, which would also become a sort of personal trademark from these
interactions. What was this motif?

The genus and species name for this creature are the same – deriving
from a character in myth – the bare skin around the head and neck
perhaps an allusion to the character’s death by hanging (helpful visuals
follow)
What character?
The common Indian name (that has since been adopted by others over
the world in common use) is a corruption of the Sanskrit for ‘lake-bird’ –
the same name also lending itself to a place name in Pune.
