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.

Data from 2008 A-Level Results
All of the sciences use mathematical techniques- doing maths A level will give you a head start in these subjects. Other A levels such as the Social Sciences use statistics, so doing A-level maths will give you an advantage. Even in essay based subjects such as history, A level maths can be useful. It teaches you to think in a logical way, something which is vital when putting across a coherent logical argument.
The subjects in the left hand column have A-level maths as an entry requirement. Geography, Psychology, Sociology degrees will all usually have a module in mathematical techniques relating to the subject. Sports Science Degrees often have modules relating to bio mechanics which has a high content of mathematics. The sciences such as Biology, Chemistry and Earth Sciences use more and more mathematics as you progress with the subjects and A level mathematics will vastly enhance your ability to do well. Business and management degrees all use maths in areas such as accounting and financial indicators. Mathematics will help understanding in medicine, as well as enhance your application.
One of the reasons mathematics is so useful in the modern world is that the amount of technology we are using is increasing all the time. New technology relies on a lot of mathematics.
We don’t think that this should be the main reason for studying maths, but it is encouraging to know that if you do, you have a good chance of getting a comfortably paid job.
Careers which lead on from mathematics aren’t only well paid, they are also often very interesting. People who have studied mathematics are in a fortunate position because they will have a good choice of career opportunities. This slide shows only a sample of possible careers. The main message is that you can do anything with maths.
Computer Games designers use a lot of mathematics in order to simulate real life effects such as movement, or the way light reflects from different surfaces. A lot of the mathematics involved is taught in A level maths or A level Further Maths, including transformations, vectors and matrices.
Mathematical medicine is a fast growing area. Mathematicians are needed to model the way cancers grow, or analyse the effectiveness of different treatments.
A level mathematics is compulsory for entry into an engineering degree. There is a nationwide shortage of qualified engineers. These pictures are related to mechanical, civil and electronic engineering.
Do any of you remember the Foot and Mouth Outbreak a few years ago? Mathematicians were used by the government to model the spread of the disease and to decide where to cull animals in order to prevent any further outbreaks. Mathematicians are still working to model potential outbreaks of diseases like Bird Flu, so that the government can have a preventative strategy in place. Mathematics is also used to model population growth for different species which are at risk of extinction.
GCHQ is the government’s communication headquarters and it has the largest group of mathematicians working anywhere in the country. They are employed to find better ways of encrypting data as well as trying to decode other encrypted messages. Above is a picture of GCHQ’s headquarters as well as a picture of an enigma machine and a picture of Bletchley Park. During the war mathematicians deciphered messages which were encoded using the enigma machine, an achievement which helped win the war. Today GCHQ recruits mathematics graduates every year. There is also a lot of mathematics behind making credit cards secure or keeping information safe as it is transmitted over the internet.
There are many rumours which circulate regarding A level maths. Some say that it is impossibly hard or that they know lots of people who have failed it after getting good grades at GCSE. The truth is that a larger percentage of people fail law and Psychology than mathematics. We are not saying that A level maths is easy, however, if you work hard at it, then you have a good chance of doing well.
A-Level maths has modules in several different types of maths. There may be the opportunity to study mechanics, which looks at the mathematics of the real world by studying forces and equations of motion. You might also get the chance to study statistics in more depth, or a module in decision maths. Decision maths is the kind of maths which can be useful in business, studying problems such as finding the shortest route in a network. There may also be the chance to study Further Mathematics, which can offer you an extra A-Level or AS-Level in mathematics.
Our opinion is that mathematics gets more interesting the further you take it. At GCSE you are building the foundations so that you have the tools which will enable you to understand many interesting A-Level topics. However you will only find this out if you try it for yourself. (Learning mathematics can be a bit like a pyramid- at GCSE you are laying the foundations and are constantly moving on upwards to more interesting and challenging mathematics. However unlike a pyramid, mathematics also broadens and there is no limit to what you can learn!)
