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

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

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Management means the administration and the governing body that is concerning the whole
organization. At Bank Alfalah, the management is pretty strong and there is a lot of
centralization in the whole network of the bank. The management at Bank Alfalah has been
divided into 3 major parts. I-e, Board of Directors, the Top management, and the group of
middle managers, supervisors and the employees.
The Board of Directors
The upper most part of the management is the Board of Directors or the Executives. The Board
of Directors is responsible for planning, that is the first phase of the management process. So,
all the decisions and the strategies are being proposed and implemented under the instructions
and the supervision of the board of directors or the executives. Also the policies and the overall
objectives of the Bank are being proposed at this level of the organization.
The Top Management
The top management involves the branch managers and the chief managers of the bank
including the operations managers as well. The major responsibilities include the strategy
formulating for the bank and supervising the whole staff at the branch. They define and
interpret the objectives and vision and then formulate policies for their completion.
The Middle Management, Supervisors and the Employees
4. Departmental heads constitute this level of management at Bank Alfalah. They are directly
responsible for planning and controlling the activities of officers. Finally, the employees’
activities are monitored and controlled.
MANAGEMENT
Check and balance is maintained all the time by the heads or supervisors weather it is
transaction, daily maintenance of the equipment and machines. Branch manager can access all
information while lower level employees have access to relevant information. There is a
Supervisor at every level of the organization. New recruits at the initial stages are not granted
the power and authority due to lack of experience and is granted slowly gradually with time.
The new employees are not kept and limited on a track which he is told to do and with time
and experience limits are increased. Small branches, supervisors and managers are having
equal allocation of money and authority is almost same. Higher the post or authority in the
managerial level i.e., regional manager has more budget and authority and branch manager
has little than that of the regional manager
MANAGEMENT STYLE
There are two Management Styles mainly adapted;
Centralized or Vertical Style of Management
Decentralized or Horizontal Style of Management
At Executives Level
At executive’s level in Bank Alfalah, the Centralized or Vertical Style of Management is adapted.
At Branch Level
At Branch Level in Bank Alfalah Decentralized or Horizontal Style of Management is adapted.
5. INFORMATION SYSTEM IN BANK ALFALAH
Managing information through technology has become an essential part, because without it, it
won’t be able to meet the increasing and fast demands of the customers. Also because of
technology the information is transferred and is available readily to almost everyone or to the
required persons, because if the flow of information is not managed effectively then things
won’t work according to plan. So technology has provided us with convenience. For example, if
a customer comes and gives a check or money to the cashier and the cashier records that data,
so the information is managed through technology and the data are available to everyone then,
one doesn’t need to open up registers or contact the cashier about it. Similar all the operations
and information is managed efficiently.
Bank Alfalah is using information system since the start of their business in
Pakistan; there was no pre information era of Bank Alfalah in Pakistan. Bank
Alfalah existing IT system is serving excellent in terms of quality and security and
is fulfilling all of their need without any error.
With the help of information technology Bank Alfalah record the daily transactions
that took place from all over the Pakistan into a centralized database in real time.
Every bank branch is directly connected to the centralized server to keep the data
up to date and to avoid any problems.
Bank Alfalah makes thousands of transactions per day with its information system in
less time. Information System makes whole process much more quick, reliable and
simple. Due to Information System employees of one branch can easily connect

IT DEPARTMENT IN BANK ALFALAH BANK
In broader terms the IT department is in charge of
All Communications throughout the branches & data centers
Security of existing & new applications
Monitoringthe services ofexisting applicationsrunninginside theorganization.
In-house security issue’s
Networks and other connectivity mediums
Security of networks
DATA WAREHOUSE SYSTEM OF BANK ALFALAH
Now because of advance technology, the data is more secure because the employees never
know where the data is saved or in which data warehouse. So the data is more secured because
of technology that is used by the Bank Alfalah. In old models, the server system was used, but
now the data warehouse system is used, the data warehouse is connected to different main
HUB’s, presently there 3 main Hubs of Bank Alfalah i-e covering all the regions or all of the
country. Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi have the main Hub’s, So even if a single transaction is
occurred anywhere in the country, The data is processed and saved in these data collection
warehouse which are connected to these Hub’s.
The beginning the main flaw was due to the use of old technology i.e., they were using servers
for maintaining data and if the data traffic flow increased the system would choke or bottle
7. neck than now which the systems use data collection warehouses which are connected to hubs
in which thousands of transactions and data traffic flow can be maintained.
Security of all the data be it users or organizations have been improved with time regularly
and even if in case something happens which threatens it then backup data’s are maintained in
both soft and hardcopies .
For instance there are 24 branches in kpk keeping the area/zone that the organization has to
cover so no main data warehouse is in Peshawar, whereas there are 100+ branches in Karachi
that is why it is one of the three places where the data warehouses are maintained.
As a rule stated by State Bank of Pakistan
A bank must have 3 years of customer data in their servers. So the Bank Alfalah
stores the last 3+ years of data into their Data Warehouses for quick access of data
and other issues.
Bank Alfalah is using HP servers. The configuration of server depends upon the
load of work it handles and the application, which is running on the server. If
the application is critical then the server is also of high configuration.
NETWORK IN BANK ALFALAH
LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN)
The local area network (LAN) is running inside the organization and providing ultimate
connectivity between the employees and other persons. There are some Workgroup
applications also running over their LAN for easy collaboration between the employees of
same and different departments. The LAN is not exposed to the outside world for security
reasons and there is a proxy server running for connectivity outside the organization which
makes sure the internal network is not exposed to the internet.
8. NETWORK THROUGH DATA CENTER
Networking between different servers is necessary which are located at different
areas of Pakistan. Data centers are connected with one another by using two links
Radio & Optical Fiber because if one link goes down, there is second alternative
link available.
The starting date of Alfalah bank or Alfalah bank was opened and became operational in 199,
and its first operational main branch was opened in Peshawar in 1999, afterwards, Alfalah
bank slowly and gradually increased its branches and network with the passage and demand of
time.
SOFTWARE
Whenever there is the word of information and technology, there must be some security issues
related to it as well. The bank Alfalah uses the most advance technology to secure its
information. Same software is used in all departments and at every level of Bank Alfalah. In the
beginning it used the BANKSMART sequential security system. That system wasn’t very effective
in providing security, because data loss, data execution errors, handling of data etc was not up
to the mark and the bank was faced with frequent errors, but now a days the bank uses the
latest security technology which is based on ORACLE software known as TEMINOS 24, which
is more powerful, more secure more effective and efficient and better than all of its previous
models or version of security software’s. We can say it’s the most secure security software up to
date.
BANKSMART was used for
Data Processing
Check Processing
ATM & Debit Card
Deposit Operations
Loan Operations
New Account Platform

Bank Alfalah implemented TEMENOS T24 to support its Treasury Operations in three phases.
The first phase of the implementation which was in 2009 was to integrate its retail operations,
which services approximately one million customers to aid its growth plans.
The second stage of a centralization project was to implement T24 across all of its 400+
branches in Pakistan.
The bank implemented the third phase of T24 in second quarter of 2013 to support its Islamic
Banking Operations.
10. T24 replaced an in-house legacy system Bank Smart, which had been in place for almost two
decades. Using T24, Alfalah can maximize the process workflow capability and rich
functionality of the software to automate a range of back-office treasury functions, including
securities, transactions, interbank loans and deposits on an advanced, modern platform for
improved operational and financial efficiency.
At bank Alfalah following modules integrated with Temenos T24 were implemented

All online cash and transfer transaction are seamless integration of t24 and bank smart. It
enabled the bank to significantly improve the speed of transaction processing, create more
secure interfacing channels, decrease maintenance costs and ensure the continuous operations
of the system.

11. ELECTRONIC CARD PROCESSING SYSTEM (ECAP)
Another core banking application that Bank Alfalah is using is Electronic Card Processing
System ECAP which is used to manage all the Credit and Debit Cards of the account holders.
ONELINK is connected with VISA and MNET is connected with MASTER card for
making payments or cash withdrawal though any ATMs also the debit cards are of
same companies i-e one link of visa and MNET of masters.
Since these both VISA and MASTERS are American multinational companies, so wherever the
transaction occurs or transaction is performed through VISA’s one link or Masters MNET, the
profit goes to the same companies, in simple the profit is gained by America.
Rs 15 is deducted if the transaction is performed on same network, i-e if transaction is
performed from onelink visa card on one linked ATMs then Rs 15 is deducted, but if
transactions are performed through alternative links i-e onelink transaction is performed on
masters card or masters card transaction is performed on onelinked ATMs then Rs 35 per
transaction is deducted.
