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

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.

3. What is the “Digital Divide”?
The “digital divide” is the gap that separates
those with access and training on computers and
the Internet from those without.
6. The New Economy
Jobs Down 55-65%*
* In a range of Northern cities between 1967-1987, When Work Disappears
** Statistics are for inner-city black men in Chicago
*** Other sources include Bureau of Labor Statistics and Department of Commerce
Once provided 52%
of jobs to some groups,
but now only 28%**
65% of all jobs use computers
90% of all jobs use computer-
related technologies
Jobs Grown to 7.4 million &
Increasing 6.5% per year

Jobs Down 55-65%*
* In a range of Northern cities between 1967-1987, When Work Disappears
** Statistics are for inner-city black men in Chicago
*** Other sources include Bureau of Labor Statistics and Department of Commerce
Once provided 52%

but now only 28%**
Average wage in IT-producing
industries was $58,000
346,000 IT jobs remain vacant
nationwide and 1.7 million
need to be filled by 2003
8. The Church and the Digital
Divide
The term “Sunday School” originated from a major literacy drive by the
church in the 1800’s; Christians can also lead the computer literacy drive
Books Basic Literacy
Computers Computer Literacy
This is one of the best funded areas for serving the community
Schools and the government can only do so much
10. What is a Christian
Community Computer Center
Christian Community Computer Center Defined:
any ministry using computers as an outreach to
serve the community
– There are over 1,000 community computer centers in the US and it
is likely that over 100 of these are Christian centers
– Range from ministries with less than 5 computers to ministries
with over 50 computers
12. Association of Christian
Community Computer Centers

Spiritual and Skill Development Plan
17. Ideas for Church Involvement
Establish Computer Ministry within churches
Great partnership opportunity for suburban and urban
churches
– Many people in suburban churches will get involved in outreach
ministries in urban communities because of their interest in
computers
– Great opportunity for reconciliation and transformation
– PREP Volunteers: 20 suburban an 10 urban (most raised up
through program)
Classes provide good opportunity for volunteers
– Have teaching assistants who train their first semester to teach the
class while helping with the class
18. Ideas for Youth
Computers can easily become a component of an after school program
Walk in center is popular with teens
– Music mixing popular allowing them to write a CD of their songs (get free
download of Hip Hop eJay from Internet)
– Internet access is popular (high speed connection: DSL or cable needed,
see appendix for info on connecting a network and Internet connection
sharing)
We’ve found youth want the advanced and media classes while more
adults want the basic classes
Youth staff supervise our walk-in center, but another adult is always in
the building
– great opportunity for youth to lead, learn and be discipled
Youth Run Business: Web design business, T-Shirts, Graphics Design,
Video Production
19. Ideas for Classes
Make a major effort initially to let the community know
– This is needed to have applicants at start of semester
– We handed out 3,000+ flyers & table-tents on street, in schools,
stores & restaurants
– Got mailing list of our community from Boston’s Voter
Registration Records and mailed to 10,000 residents
Meals between classes can provide opportunities for
relationship building
Project based classes work well
Teens and adults can work in same classes, but adults
taking classes with younger children does not work
See list of classes in Appendix
20. Issues to Consider
Computer ministry should be relational ministry
– “It’s not about the technology, it’s about the people.”
Center needs to be in an organization that is indigenous to
community being served and raise up indigenous leaders
Web filtering software on all computers (see appendix for
list of filtering software)
– Some software programs do not filter Web based E-mail (i.e. Hotmail)
– We do not allow chat or non-educational games
Security is a major issue:
– BWM has an alarm system and motion detectors and are installing a “panic” button for lab
monitors and video entry cameras
Software licensing is an issue
22. Things You Need

23. Getting Equipment & Software
Make announcements in churches that you are looking for
computer donations from individuals and companies
