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.

example, if you have on-the-job work experience in computers you may be able to receive credits offered
in one or more office or business administration courses.You will need to demonstrate that you have acquired
the knowledge, skills and values required in the formal courses for which you are requesting credit. This is
done by providing evidence of what you have learned. This might include any one or combination of the
following: a work site visit, documentation, interview, oral presentation, or portfolio. For more information
about whether PLA is an option in the program for which you are applying, please contact the program
coordinator.

opinion of the Registrar, the request does not fall under medical or compassionate reasons, or the
documentation is insufficient to support the request, the request will be denied. Withdrawal for medical or
compassionate reasons will not be granted for lack of academic performance on the part of the student. If
a request is granted, the permanent student record will be annotated as Withdrawal for Extenuating
Circumstances (WE).
To Submit a Request:
1. Print and complete the Application for Extenuating Withdrawal.
2. Attach a letter explaining the reason for your request along with any supporting documentation (e.g. a
letter from a physician, an official copy of an accident report, or official documentation of a family
emergency, death certificate, and so forth).
3. Submit all documentation to the Registrar's Office.

29. Incomplete Grade "I"
1. If the student believes an exceptional circumstance exists which prevents him/her from completing the
course during the regular time frame, the student may petition the course instructor for an incomplete
("I") grade.
2. An incomplete ("I") grade may be given where, in the judgment of the instructor, the student should
have reasonable expectation of passing the course, but has not completed the required work.
3. An incomplete is assigned only when the instructor and student have arranged for the work to be
completed by a specified date within four months of the end of term. If the student does not complete
the work by the specified date, the Registrar will automatically assign a predetermined grade reflecting
the work not completed.
4. If the student completes the work by the specified time, the instructor will assign the final grade.
5. If this incomplete procedure cannot be applied in the opinion of the instructor, the instructor is directed
to contact the Registrar directly for resolution of the issue.
COURSE OVERLOAD
1. Registration in more than five academic courses or more than the full requirements specified for a
career or limited enrolment program constitutes a course overload.
2. Students may choose to register for a course overload (up to a total of 21 credits) as long as they have
discussed their need or request for an overload with an academic advisor. Science students, however,
are permitted to register for more than 16 credits, as long as the total credits do not exceed 21 credits
and registration does not result in more than five courses.
3. Students may not register for a course overload until classes commence.
COURSE CHALLENGE
Admitted students may request a course challenge whereby an examination for achievement may be awarded
for a very specific and limited selection of courses at the institution. Certain courses may not be challenged.
Students interested in this procedure should contact their instructor.
The regular tuition fee must be paid for a challenged course. A course challenged successfully will be
recorded on the permanent student record.
Note
Credit for courses challenged successfully will apply to credentials earned at Capilano University.
Students should be aware that other universities and colleges may not grant credit or transfer credit
for credit received by course challenge.

APPLYING TO DO GRADUATE WORK OR PROFESSIONAL STUDIES
AFTER COMPLETION OF A DEGREE
Universities in Canada and abroad are autonomous institutions and set their own admission criteria.Applicants
are generally considered for admission based on their individual merits according to the admission standards
set by the institution, faculty or program. As affirmed by the Council of Ontario Universities (December 7,
2006) "Applicants to provincially assisted universities in Ontario are considered for admission on an individual
basis in a process whereby the appropriate range of academic and other relevant evidence is weighed."
Students who are interested in further studies after completing degree programs are advised to consult the
University's advising service at the institutions to which they are applying about the detailed requirements
for admission.

USE OF PERSONAL EDUCATION NUMBER
Personal information on your student record will be used to verify your Personal Education Number (PEN)
or to assign one to you. The PEN is a nine digit number assigned to each student as they enter the British
Columbia educational system. This identification number follows the student through their K-12 and
post-secondary education. The PEN is used for multiple purposes, including the distribution of funding to
schools, transition analysis between schools, districts and post-secondary education, exams and student
reporting.
The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act guarantees the privacy of information that is
collected, regulates how it is collected, and who has access to it. The PEN program follows the guidelines
set out by the Freedom of Information and Protections of Privacy Act
(www.bced.gov.bc.ca/pen/student/penfoi.htm). If you have any questions about the use of PEN, please
contact the Privacy Coordinator in writing at: privacy@capilanou.ca or: Privacy Coordinator, 2055 Purcell
Way, North Vancouver, B.C., V7J 3H5.

35. EXEMPTION, SUBSTITUTION,TRANSFER CREDIT, PRIOR LEARNING
ASSESSMENT AND COURSE CHALLENGE
All requests for exemption, substitution or transfer credit must be submitted to the Registrar's Office on the
Transfer Credit Request form. A decision will be made with the recommendation of an appropriate program
coordinator, if applicable.The credit or action will be noted and approved by the Registrar's Office. Students
will be notified in writing of the final decision.
Exemption An exemption indicates a student is not required to complete a particular
course(s) in a program because of successful completion of a
combination of post-secondary courses which, overall, constitute equal
content.Exemption Standing does not reduce the total number of credits
required to complete a credential. Approved Exemption is not noted on
the student's Official Transcript of Academic Record.
Substitution A substitution indicates a Capilano course used in lieu of another
Capilano course to complete a program's requirements. Credit must
be equal. Approved Substitution is not noted on the student's Official
Transcript of Academic Record.
Transfer Credit Capilano University (Capilano) is a strong supporter of the articulation
of transfer of courses and programs between institutions and supports
the following principles:
1. The primary purpose for transfer is to increase student accessibility
to post-secondary education by facilitating mobility between other
institutions and Capilano.
2. In any transfer arrangement the academic integrity of Capilano’s
courses and programs must be protected and preserved.
3. Canada does not have a national system of accreditation; therefore,
the term “recognition” is used in this document. See full policy for
more detail: www.capilanou.ca/about/governance/policies/Policies/
Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) At Capilano University our mission is to enable student success in
current and continuing studies, in a chosen career, in the pursuit of
knowledge, and in contributing effectively as responsible citizens in a
rapidly changing and diverse global community.
To accomplish its mission, Capilano University strives to provide a
dynamic and secure learning environment committed to excellence in
education and to equity of access.To ensure “equity of access” Capilano
University recognizes that students may have attained significant
learning at a post- secondary level from work, training and other
experiences outside the formal post-secondary education system.Those
who have gained such learning should be able to receive credit for that
learning and build on it in pursuing further education at Capilano
University. See policy for my detail at:

Course Challenge Admitted students may request a course challenge whereby an
examination for achievement may be awarded for a very specific and
limited selection of courses at the institution. Certain courses may not
be challenged. Students interested in this procedure should contact
their instructor.
