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.

3. 3 PRESIDENT SPEAKS December 2010
I hope your holidays are going good and you are having a gala time with your family.
Not long back, I was pretty nervous about the job I had taken up; President of JPKU Toastmasters
club. Am I good enough? Will I be able to stand on all the expectations people have from me?
Will I be beneficial for the club? These were some questions which were banging in my head.
Well, I did not get the answer of those questions above, because life doesn‘t provide you answers,
but provides you with experience and the sense of achievement that you did not mess it up, that
someone gained from your presence. I walk away with that experience and that sense of achieve-
ment.
Now, six months after taking up that job, I see someone else being haunted by the same set of
questions. He also has the same goal in sight, just different members in the EC to help him realize
that goal. Yes, it is the new President, Vikas Kr. Malik. The time to change is here. The term of
old Executive Committee is over and the new EC to step in is here. I wish them all best of luck :)
It was a pleasant experience working with the EC I had. There was a lot to learn from all of the
members. Aneesh Jain (VP-Ed), Jyoti Narula (VP-M), Kanushree (VP-PR), Vinay Jain
(Treasurer), Sangeeta Malik (Secretary) and Vikas Kr. Malik (Sergeant At Arms). All of them per-
formed their role exceptionally well. I was blessed to have such an EC working with me. Also,
where else can you find 2 of your bosses work on even basis as you?

5. 5 The Da Vinci dress code December 2010

So what does it mean to be in a dress code at
Toastmasters?

6. 6 Resolution December 2010
By Vikas Malik
Resolution to renew all my old resolves,
And add a few that are new.
Resolution to keep them as long as I can,
What more can I do?’
The tradition of the New Year‘s resolutions is ancient and goes all the way back to 153BC. Janus, a mythical king
of early Rome was placed at the head of the calendar. With two faces, Janus could look back on past events and
forward to the future. Janus is the ancient symbol for resolutions and first month of the year is named after him.
At midnight of December 31, Janus is looking back at the old year, its mistakes, its shattered promises, joyous
moments and simultaneously is looking ahead at the new upcoming year with the hope to get over all past short-
comings and starting with a new beginning.
New Year's Time is a time of celebrations and a time to make promises - promises to myself. But we are not
strangers to these resolutions; actually we make them on daily basis. The urge to 'do better next time', is always
there and in all those broken resolutions, it is only this urge which is constant.
But, there is a way out for making quality New Year resolutions. I discussed with a friend how to make sure that this year I shall stick to my resolutions. Here are few tips:
1. Be Specific: Vague goals like better health will not help. Resolution must answer better when? Better how? And most importantly better why?
2. Don't go over the roof: Most resolutions fail because we dream too big. Rather, if we dissect those big dreams into small baby steps with timelines attached with each of
them. It will look more achievable and hence more effective.
3. Don't overwhelm with thousands of resolutions: Dont' try to do EVERYTHING all at one time. Rather make it a commitment to focus only on top 3 of your long list of
to-dos. Commit yourself to your plan for at least 20 days (3 weeks) to make it part of your habit or daily routine.
4. Don't give up: The day we miss on our resolved commitment, we give up on it and put it aside for the next year. Rather take it easy and restart it again tomorrow .
May this New Year bring you many opportunities your way, to explore every joy of life and may your resolutions for the days ahead stay firm, turning all your dreams into re-
ality and all your efforts into great achievements
7. 7 MEETING THEMEs OF THE MONTH December 2010
Reverberations 2010 was behind us, but JPKU Toastmasters was still reverberating, the reflections continued even on Saturday
the 4th December 2010. This was surprising, for one would associate a club with ―Always Ahead‖ as its slogan to be associated
with pre-echo, rather than reverberations, but that was the order of the day. The meeting began with the Toastmaster talking about
the recently held Semi- Annual conference.
The suggestions from the Hyde-Park section and how they reverberate i.e. are incorporated into the meetings and general func-
tioning of the club, formed the high point of the meeting, and this was brought into the limelight by the two pillars of the club,
President Malkiat Bindra and VP Education Aneesh.
The previous meeting had seen only three members and a guest, and with something as interesting as videos planned, it had been
quite unexpected, the SAA Vikas sobbed. It was interesting to note that two of our ―ild ka chand‖ members (read as I make a
guest appearance once in a while so that you know I exist), namely Deepak Dewani and Rahul Soni were not only present, but at
their roaring best during the meeting.
The real delight was to see new members taking up roles, doing the talking, incorporating what they recently learned, and put it
to make their speeches better. Akhil Sood, our home grown Harry Potter had a wonderful take on Project 8, that worked like
magic and mesmerized the audience. Pity, it mesmerized Mr.Potter himself as well, and here someone ran out of time. Perhaps he
should try the ‗rabbit in the waistcoat with a pocket watch‘ next.
Table Topics Master Vikas had lovely topics up his sleeve, which everyone was able to speak on for atleast a minute or so. The
General Evaluator Malkiat Bindra, for those of us who know him, and for those of us who dont, was both seen and heard.
The toastmaster ended with the remark that the human touch Toastmasters has to offer makes it a wonderful place to be in, and a
tremendous opportunity to touch lives. You only need to attend a meeting to know. Let the reverberations continue...

8. 8 MEETING THEMEs OF THE MONTH contd.. December 2010
The moment, I sat down to write this article (as always at the eleventh hour), every word I spoke during the meeting on December 11,
2010, came back to haunt me. Unsurprisingly, the preacher was not one of the followers. All the talk about planning and sticking to
time-lines, seemed like useless mumbo-jumbo, and all that remained was yet another ‗last minute scramble‘.
The preparations for the meeting on December 11 started perfectly on time. Most of the meeting roles were taken up in the meeting
on December 4 and a few others were auctioned off in the following couple of days. Life seemed to be moving as per plan, but who
would have guessed this was only the lull before the storm? The first scheduled speaker backed out the day the draft agenda was
floated. The other three followed suit within a span of two days. By the day before the meeting, despite all the planning, all the sched-
uled speakers had cancelled their speeches, the Toastmaster was still not ready to face the crowd and the Table Topics Master had
gone missing, and thus began a last minute scramble to find the role players for the meeting with the theme – Last minute scrambles.
Somehow, by some divine intervention, everything fell into place at the last moment! Two members stood up to deliver speeches, the
Toastmaster gained enough confidence to face the crowd and a Table Topics Master was found…
We do not live in the most punctual nation of the world. Delays are a common sight and last minute scrambles for meeting strict
deadlines are an accepted reality. Wedding ceremonies usually run late by two hours, while business conferences by only half an hour.
Construction of roads and bridges usually takes ten years more than the allocated time, if in case they ever get ready. We as a nation
have learned to accept these minor delays and take them in our stride. It helps that as individuals we don‘t have much faith in plans
and even lesser in ensuring their implementation, so either we are extremely comfortable extending deadlines or taking part in last
minute scrambles, burning the midnight lamp and somehow getting the work done.
Some might argue that these last minute scrambles make the entire process of working more interesting. I couldn‘t agree more! Some others
might argue that these last minute scrambles test your attentiveness and intellectual capabilities to the limit. I totally agree! But what about
getting the work done on time? Or what about delivering work of a certain minimum quality standard?
The last minute scrambles cannot be totally done away with, like in the case of getting the role players for the December 11 meeting, but
Aneesh Jain
certainly better planning and sticking to time-lines can ensure that the construction of roads and bridges doesn‘t go on forever.
We had two speakers – Sushant and Ritu, during the meeting on December 11, and both of them were equal to the task. Akhil tried out a
nouveau Table Topics style, forcing the speakers to debate on the impact of last minute scrambles. Akhil also doubled up as the General
Evaluator for the meeting. In the end, both Ritu and Sushant were voted the best speakers, Aneesh was voted the best Table Topics speaker
and Ritu walked away with the award for the best Evaluator.
9. 9 MEETING THEMEs OF THE MONTH contd.. December 2010
I was a sixth grader and my geography teacher had cut one mark in my first term examination because I had invented a new spelling of
mountainous. Such was the focus on using the correct language and spelling that even a geography teacher could reinforce her superiority
over English. Today, it seems as if a hundred years (if not a thousand) have passed since that precise moment. Those were the times when a
mobile phone was the most ultimate symbol of luxury. We all understand the fact that we have got busier than ever before and there is no-
one in the world who can be slightly as busy as we are and that unsatisfied desire to save time along with the invasion into the luxury pro-
vided by a mobile phone has invented a new language ―SMS- lingo.‖

Q) How did you come to know about my company?

The person meant through but he has been using threw in sms and he had never been corrected. Its his fault, yes but he has been soaked in an
environment where language and grammar are unheard of and its going to ruin the generation unless we keep a check on it. The incorrigible
youth have to be made aware of the flaws and dangers they are creating for the language in general and the only feasible way is to dissuade
them form using such kind of languages or atleast stop the practice of getting this lingo to more formal modes of communication.
The theme of the meeting was decided to be SMS lingo and Akhil Sood was the toastmaster for the meeting. As toastmaster was late to the
meeting, his role was taken over by President Malkiat. There were three speeches during the day. Sushant talked about preventing disasters,
Sanchit guided the audience in choosing the right mobile for them and Akhil convinced them to donate blood. DTM Ritu Arora brought in a
new face of table topics as she gave a famous name to the speakers and the speakers had to give it to audience by describing the works of the
person they impersonated. Akhil walked away with the best speaker, DTM Deepak Menon got the best tabletopic speaker and Ritu Arora got
the best evaluator award.

Sushant Kakkar was born and brought up in Delhi and did his schooling from LPS, Hauz Khas. He pursued Bachelor‘s
in Electrical Engineering from the Delhi College of Engineering and graduated in 2007. He is working as a field man-
ager in Schlumberger Ltd, an oilfield service company and is currently on a leave of absence and preparing for MBA ex-
ams. He developed an interest in traveling after joining Schlumberger, and has visited almost the entire North East, and 5
more countries in the last 3 years. His hobbies include embedded electronics, traveling, watching cricket & enjoying the
latest movies.

11. 11 THE HYDE PARK— Tabletopic Evaluator December 2010
The Hyde Park in London is famous for its Speakers’ Corner, which allows anyone and everyone to speak on a topic for as long as they can unless the police finds it offensive,
and the Hyde Park police has had a history of being offended very rarely even on sensitive issues. As a salutation to the freedom of expression, we bring Hyde Park from Lon-
don to our newsletter, and invite everyone to publish their comments on a certain topic, which for this month is: “Shall we have an assigned tabletopic evaluator?"
―Tabletopics‖ is the wonderful section which re-
quires one to think your feet and speak whatever
crosses one‘s mind. We don‘t know where did we
go wrong or what could we have said. This needs
to be evaluated thoroughly to give a clear picture
to the speaker of his/her speech. Therefore, I think
that there should be a separate tabletopics evalua-
tor, who can concentrate only on Tabletopics and
provide the speaker a better evaluation.
We should have a Table Topics Evaluation section in every meet-
ing. It could be played by an assigned evaluator or by General
evaluator depending on number of members present in a meet-
ing. We could have this as a more interactive section, where Sanchit AgGarwal
other members who didn't speak on a topic can contribute their
ideas about the same topic. This will enrich all members with di-
verse ideas (content) related to the topic
