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.

23. A) Primary objective:
To find out new corporate clientele for the hotel O.
To understand behavior of corporate companies as a customer of a hotel
To study the factors influencing selection of a hotel
To Know the different competitors of the hotel and understand competition
To know the awareness of The O among the customers.
The primary objective of my internship as described above was Market research on
corporate clients. To carry on this research the procedure was as follows:-
i) Finding new companies: The initial step of this objective was finding new corporate
companies with research. Companies in sectors like IT, Engineering, research and any such
companies who will have foreign delegates or CEO‟s or any members or outsiders visiting
the company and who can be prospective clients for the Hotel or the Oxford Golf Course . I
was given a target of finding 5 new, existing companies in the city that are not in the client
list of The O Hotel ,the final target was finding and visiting 40 companies and I was
successful in the same.
ii) Appointments with companies: After finding 5 new companies, looking for the concerned
person and getting appointments with the same was the next step, there was a target of
completing 15 appointments in a week. I had to visit the companies for such appointments
with a senior and meet the requirements of the hotel.
iii) Check List/Questionnaire: In corporate companies I had to visit with a questionnaire which
in the Hotel they called it as a check list . This was not the main objective of the meet; this
was just for the Hotel records and for a small survey which will help the Hotel in improving
their services. This consisted of questions that were generally to know the basic needs of the
23
24. guests as regards to the Hotel Rooms, Banquets, Restaurants, Golf Course, Aviation, The Goa
Hotel and so on, a sample of the same is attached in the annexure and the data analysis of the
same is also given the next part of the report. Marketing of all the Oxford properties with a
special focus on The O hotel was the primary objective of this visit.
B) Secondary Objective:
The secondary objectives of my internship were quite a few as for about a month I followed
these. This includes my transfer in the Banquet sales and Food and Beverage Department for
a week, Human Resources department for a week and one or half day each in a few other
departments so as to get the minimum required knowledge about the other departments. The
detailed work done by me in the two months other than the primary objective can be
summarized as follows:
i) Sales and Marketing Department: Post the Market Research on corporate clients I did
quite a few other tasks in this department. These include,
Competitive analysis of the five star hotels in Pune with regards to their room rates, current
discount offers on rooms, things provided in the room etc.
Preparing and marketing the corporate lunch offer every week through emails.
As a Management Student and as an intern for marketing I had to suggest marketing
strategies, at least one every week.
I also prepared the check list/Questionnaire for the new listed companies, so as to complete
my market research successfully, and this will now always be used for future research.
24
25. ii) Banquet Sales and FnB Department: - This Department was similar to sales just the
product changed here I did;
Competitive analysis of the banquet rates in five star hotels in the vicinity
Analysis on restaurants and corporate lunch offers.
iii) Human Recourses Department :-I worked in this department for 2 days,to acquire as much
knowledge as I can. I was being given a few tasks in this department such as ;
Recruitment and selection i.e. short listings the CV‟s etc.
Handling, files, attending interviews with a senior executive etc.
iv) Other Departments:- The Human Recourses Manager rightly suggested that I should visit
each department for half day or one full day so as to get a general idea about all the important
departments of the hotel and to completely understand the working of each department and
their connection with each other.

1. Primary Sources:
Primary data is collected by survey. This data is first hand data. This data is collected
by direct visit at the companies.
2. Secondary Sources:
The secondary data is data, which is collected and compiled from different
sources and are used in research for this study.
The secondary data includes material collected from:
Newspaper
Magazine
Internet etc…
B) Data collection instruments:-
The various methods of data gathering involve the use of appropriate recording forms.
These are called 'tools' or 'instruments of data collection. Collection Instruments:-
27
28. Questionnaire/ Check list
Observation
C) Type of questions:-
Multi-choice
Dichotomous
D) Determining Sample Design and Sample Size: -
After deciding to conduct the survey I had to decide whether to conduct a census survey or
a sample survey. As the number of companies in the city is too large, I decided to choose a
few areas in the city, Magarpatta, Bund Garden, and Koregaon Park. and then did a sample
survey.
Sample Size: I found and visited 50 companies, which were not there in the existing client
list of the Hotel.
E) Field work: -
The procedure of my project and the data collection was done by visiting the companies
personally, accompanied by a senior executive and then filling the check list by asking
questions to the client and then finally getting a stamp/signature and collecting the
visiting card of the company for the Hotel data.
28
29. F) Editing, classification and tabulation of data: -
Once the data collection was done, I have checked the data and edited where required.
Then I have classified and tabulated the data so as to make it easy to apply statistical
techniques.
G) Analysis of data: -
The next step is to analyze the findings from the collected data. Analysis of the data is
done by various statistical data analysis tools. I have used the following types of statistical
tools;
i) Tabulation of the data
ii) Percentage of various data

Marketing Strategy
Direct Marketing
The O‟s direct marketing is handling by their PR agency. The O will buy select
targeted list of corporate companies and send them information about Good Hotels.
Website Marketing Strategy
The hotel‟s main website marketing strategy hinges upon making sure all major travel
sites such as Expedia.com, Orbitz.com, and Hotels.com list The hotel when customers
search for hotels in our area.
Sales Plan
Our sales plan hinges upon our sales strategy, sales process and, prospecting plan. As
long as we follow the plans laid below we should be in good shape.
Sales Strategy
Hotel's sales strategy hinges upon repeat visits by key corporate accounts. We need to
develop a relationship with the companies listed in our Sales Account Plan, as well as
actively generate new accounts by soliciting first time corporate visitors.
It will be important to remain competitive on price, as well as amenities. The corporate
accounting department wants to make sure they limit the amount of money spent per night
per person on a business trip, but the business traveler will be able to express preference. If
the price is right, and the business traveler knows that they will have all amenities they need,
we will be assured of keeping and attracting key accounts.

45. SWOT Analysis of the O:
Strengths
1. Hotel is situated in heart of the city.
2. The Harajuku restaurant attracts Japanese foodies. As the restaurant caters the actual
taste of Japanese food. Every small ingredient is imported from Japan and authentic
Japanese food is served here.
3. Manpower costs in the Indian hotel industry is one of the lowest in the world. This
provides better margins for Indian hotel industry.
4. India offers a readymade tourist destination with the resources it has. Thus the magnet
to pull customers already exists.
Weaknesses
1. The cost of land in India is high at 50% of total project cost as against 15% abroad.
This acts as a major deterrent to the Indian hotel industry.
2. The hotel industry in India is heavily staffed. This can be gauged from the facts that
while Indian hotel companies have a staff to room ratio of 3:1, this ratio is 1:1 for
international hotel companies.
3. High tax structure in the industry makes the industry worse off than its international
equivalent. In India the expenditure tax, luxury tax and sales tax inflate the hotel bill
by over 30%. Effective tax in the South East Asian countries works out to only 4-5%.
4. Only 58,000 hotel rooms are available in India today, which is less than the Bangkok
hotel capacity.
5. The services currently offered by the hotels in India are only limited value added
services. It is not comparable to the existing world standards.
Opportunities
1. Demand between the national and the inbound tourists can be easily managed due to
difference in the period of holidays. For international tourists the peak season for
arrival is between September to March when the climatic conditions are suitable
where as the national tourist waits for school holidays, generally the summer months.
45
46. 2. In the long-term the hotel industry in India has latent potential for growth. This is
because India is an ideal destination for tourists as it is the only country with the most
diverse topography. For India, the inbound tourists are a mere 0.4% of the global
figures. This number is expected to increase at a phenomenal rate thus pushing up the
demand for the hotel industry.
Threats
1. Guesthouses replace the hotels. This is a growing trend in the west and is now
catching up in India also, thus diverting the hotel traffic.
2. Political turbulence in the area reduces tourist traffic and thus the business of the
hotels. Examples of the same are bomb blast at Germen Bakery and other terrorist
attacks.
3. Changing trends in the west demand similar changes in India, which here are difficult
to implement due to high project costs.
46
48. Sales and Marketing Department
A) Market Research on clients of the hotel O has helped me to understand the
behavior of customer‟s clientele in this industry.
This was the primary object of my internship, this helped me to understand the
whole market i.e., the clients, their requirements, the reasons they use a particular
hotel, reasons why do they use or do not use The O hotel.
All this helped me to understand and learn the behavior of customers of this
industry.
The O being a business Hotel 80% of its room occupancy business is dependent on
the corporate clients.
B) Competitive analysis helped me to know competition in the industry and different
ways to fight in the current competitive marketing.
C) Preparing and Marketing lunch offers for the Kitsch was of great learning.
Banquet Sales and Food and Beverage Department:
A) Competitive analysis here was the same just the products differentiated.
B) Attending conference and banquet preparations, visiting restaurants and observing
their working and co-ordination among the employers was add on step in learning
hotel management.
Human Resource Department
48
49. Recruitment and selection process is the most integral part of an HR manager and
attending this helped me gain a great amount of experience, I was given a chance to
short listing candidates resumes and with reference to their parameters and then also
given chance to attend their interview session with a senior executive and then with
the department head for final interviews. This has helped me learn and experience
the procedure of recruitment.
Other Departments
I visited all other departments of the Hotel for half day each so as to get complete
knowledge of all the departments of the hotel. Visiting departments like the
Engineering, security, accounts, housekeeping, front office etc. was of utmost
benefit as the Head of department of each department was kind enough to give me
an idea of how the department works. This exercise has helped me to get a general
view of how each department in the hotel works and also to understand that to
what extent is each department connected and dependent on the other.
Conclusion:-
At the end I would conclude by saying that this report helped me in understanding the
sales and marketing strategies in the Hospitality industry and the project on market
research has helped me in understanding the consumer behavior, by firsthand experience
as I met all the clients personally. The conclusions were;
49
50. The hotel industry is in boom.
The location of the hotel is the main advantage for the hotel.
The customer survey says that most of the customers are happy.
Effective marketing can raise the business of the hotel.
The hospitality industries growth is positive. But the challenges confronting the
industry segment are giving it a low customer base.

52. Suggestions:
The suggestions that I would like to make are as follows:-
Prices should be rescheduled
Direct marketing must be more efficient.
Marketing strategy should be revised.
Tour Packages should be introduced.
Hotel Staff benefits should be revised.
