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.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

"CITIUS, ALTIUS, FORTIUS" – CONVERGENZ 2008
With just thirteen days into the New Year and the feeling of
freshness about the new year lurking in our minds we were excited to
see what would unfold during the “Convergenz ‘08” the annual business
event of IIM Bangalore. Though we had publicized the event through
the magazines, social networking sites and company notice boards many
of us had our hearts in our hands. We were almost done with the final
Karthik Srinivasan arrangements for the venue for some of the greatest minds of India both
from Academia as well the IT industry to collaborate and where we
(PGSEM 2006-09)
expected a confluence of ideas.
Symposium
As the activities started, we enjoyed the buzz of activity around the Auditorium which we would like
to associate most closely to a beehive. At 1:45 PM with the judges, participants and audience in their places
the finals of the symposium kicked off. Eight of the teams who had survived the grueling prelims where
each team was asked to prepare a report on 'Innovation & Marketing to the digital consumer' where
competing against each other. This time they had to fight it out on strategy- “A branding strategy of an
innovative company/product” of their choice, to be more precise.
2. PGSEM Newsletter Page 2
The finalists had chosen the following companies: Reliance Wonder Box, Videocon television, Bharti-
Airtel, Novanet PC, P-ISM, APSRTC, Tata Sky and Titan Eye Care. Each team was allotted ten minutes for
presentation and then a five minute discussion followed. The teams were grilled by the judges on their
conceptual understanding and business acumen in selling innovation. The teams that presented the strategy
for P-ISM and Bharti-Airtel bagged the first and second prizes. The symposium ended at 3:30 PM and the next
item on the schedule was the Quiz.
Corporate Quiz
Registrations for the Quiz had started at 1:00 PM and were open till 1:30 PM. With 83 teams
registered the prelims started at 1:45 PM with the “googlies” set up by KQA. Only avid quizzers would survive
the heat inspite of the seemingly short duration of just 20 minutes. It was not until 3:30 PM that the finalists
were announced and this for sure would have kept the competitors on their toes.
At 3.30, Prof. Arul Mani of the KQA, the brain behind the questions, announced the answers for the
preliminary round and the top six teams that qualified for the finals. Professor Rajeev Gowda, finalist in the
inaugural edition of the Mastermind India quiz show at BBC, took over as the quiz master for the finals. After
several wonderful rounds of quizzing the teams from Infosys and TCS emerged as the winners.
Panel Discussion
The most awaited event of the day the Panel Discussion
kicked off with an address by Mr. Aravind Sitaraman, Vice
President and MD of CISCO India. This was followed by talks from
the other eminent panelists. The panelists spanned the length and
breadth of the IT industry with representation from service
oriented IT companies, product oriented IT companies,
Infrastructure companies using IT extensively, apart from
academia and venture capitalists.
Prof. Sadagopan, Director, IIIT played the role of the moderator. The other panelists included Mr.
Ravishankar GV, VP, Sequoia Capital India, Mr. Rajeev Mehtani, MD of NXP Semiconductors, Dr.
Venkateswaran Narayanan, Research Head, ABB Corporate Research Center and Mr. Vinod Deshmukh,
Executive VP & CTO, Mindtree Consulting.
The discussion was followed by a question and answer session. And to the million dollar question of
“Why India does not have good product companies?” so was the response of Prof. Sadagopan:
"We always either underestimate or overestimate our potential. We either say that we cannot make
products at all or we say that we are an IT superpower. The reality lies somewhere in-between. There have
been several Indian companies that have made products. i-Flex and Finacle consistently rank among the top
banking software products across the world. Even in its very early days, Wipro has made products like
InstaPlan that got rave review even from HBR. So, let us understand the reality and then decide where we go."
He concluded with a remark which we believe should set you all on a thinking track which was "As a
teacher, I tend to give homework to people. Here I give one, all of you, go home and create a software
product company".
The day came to an end with prizes being distributed to the winners of various events and a vote of
thanks by the PGSEM Chairperson Prof. Shankar Venkatagiri. Following this the crowd carried on to the MDC
lawns for sumptuous dinner.

“NÄCHSTER HALT ST. GALLEN”
As the male voice echoed through the PA system of the SBB ICN 230, the train
from Zurich Airport to St. Gallen, I was still not out of a trance. The feeling was so
surreal. Seeing the beauty of the land where I was, I wondered whether any place
on earth can be more beautiful than this. When the train halted, I got up gathered
my baggage and walked out into the railway station (or “Bahnhof” as they say in
German). I reached the bus station immediately outside the Bahnhof and enquired
about the bus that would take me to the University of St. Gallen. I must admit that
my ignorance of the German language seemed like a curse at least for the first few
days and definitely on this occasion, as most people there understood nothing but
Peter G Karamen German, that too the swiss version. Somehow the idea of having the admission
(PGSEM 2006-09) letter in my hand definitely helped me and I got into the bus that takes me to the
University (or UNI as the Swiss students call it, which I was happy to adopt).
I reached the place. The University set high on those stunningly beautiful mountains with surroundings
so whimsical that I lost count of the number of beats my heart missed. I completed the formalities at the
International Exchange Office and got the welcome package. Opening it I was stunned to find that it contained
pages of literature that talked about waste disposal at home and in public. No wonder how clean the place was.
I hired a taxi to get to my room. The room had been arranged by the University and I must say was an
excellent one. What more can I ask for, my room number was 7 my favorite number. I met my roommates there
had a light chat and before long retired to my room and subsequently into a long slumber.
The first day at the University was an introductory session where the programme coordinator addressed
each of us, the exchange students. There were nearly 400 of us. Later on the student’s union representatives
took us around the campus and shared with us a map of the campus. They gave us a few gifts, a swiss cap that I
still have is one among those. The same day they took us to the “Welcome” party as well.
The very first week we started of learning German or Deutsche as they called it. It was funny to see how
“communication” became “Kommuni-kat-zion”, “information” became “infor-mat-zion”, “and” changed to “und”,
“but” to “aber” and so on. From the intensive course I picked up enough of German to ask for directions, identify
basic food items, say thank you, sorry etc., that I was not going to starve any more. In the mean time I managed
to find some Indians there at the university. The others from IIMB were to reach late. For the time being these
Indian friends were the only people who I knew in Switzerland. Within the first week, I opened an account with
the Credit Suisse. Atleast now I had a “Swiss Bank Account” to boast about, not bad.
The days passed by and on September 17th of 2007 the fall semester of 2007 started off at the University.
The course bidding was unlike the one we are familiar with at IIMB. Here you had to get the permission from the
professors regarding whether you can attend the course or not. Then we had to bid for the course. The time slots
for the courses are fixed and the students got to arrange their own time table or in short you got to select
courses such that the chosen courses do not overlap. Well I got to use my excel skills here. Some of the courses
offered here were so different compared to what I have ever heard of. There are courses like “Cities and
Creativity: Exploring Hamburg”, “Digital Natives” etc. Well some of these courses looked funny but others were
serious workouts. The courses I believe were not as demanding as those back home but sure enough were tough.
The classes happened in full swing, but without the additional strain of work, I had all the time in this
world. The good thing about the courses there was that, most of the subjects had only final exams. Unlike the
ones back home we did not have a lot of assignments or mid terms. This gave me some room to relax. It was a
great experience to attend some of those conferences like “World Ageing & Generations Congress”, or their
campus placements with almost all the major investment bankers around.
As days went by, I started making more and more friends though most of the time was spent wired to the
vast and wide World Wide Web. Once in a while a friend or two would appear online and chat for some time.
There were lots to study and much more to see. A significant portion of my time was spent on planning trips to
4. PGSEM Newsletter Page 4
various locations, (many which never materialized). There was Basel, Zurich, Paris, Amsterdam and much more.
There was so much to see, but so less time. Finally I did make it some of those beautiful European cities and
each one was a very different experience in itself. Travelling around in Switzerland was fun as well.
Though there were several reasons, one of the (silly) reasons of choosing Switzerland as my destination
for SEP was to “see snow”. I know not many would belive that. Well from where I come from, during peak
summer season, where temperatures are so high that water is half boiled (if I may say so) there is no chance of
snow’s survival. So I have not had a chance to see it. So this created in me a strange fascination for the white
and fluffy thing called “Snow”. I was eagerly waiting to see Snow for the first time in life. Finally when the first
flakes of snow fell, it was so good to look out of the window. Interesting it was to see the previously green
terrain changing to white over night. I did make it a point to do a little bit of skiing and snow man making. After
all I don’t know when I am going to do it again.
The days passed by and finally the day came for me to leave. The tension of the “Derivatives”
examination, reaching the airport on time etc made it much easier for me to leave the beautiful Switzerland
without a lot “Nostalgia”. This Swiss experience enriched me culturally, intellectually, creatively and
emotionally no doubt. But more than anything else it was that experience of being there that mattered most.
“Oh those days”, I say to myself when once in a while. I feel no words can ever describe the experience well
enough, so let me not try more. “That it shall never come again is what makes life so sweet”. That way this
was as sweet as it could get for me…..

COME HAVE A CUP OF LIFE
"Chai Chai", shouts the porter at the station at the top of his coarse voice
in the wee hours of the morning. Oh it’s so cold today, and I want to snuggle
beneath those warm blankets. But alas, nobody ever thinks about me. Am just too
tired of getting up so early everyday and waking up everyone else. But at times am
lucky when the soft hands of a woman touch me while she makes a cup for her
Kaushik Rana husband. Still on bed, when he takes his first sip me and then says “Aah ...”
(PGSEM 2005-08) rubbing his eyes “Honey, you are so wonderful!" Ahh.. well was it not me that has
made his day with this first cup of tea.
But it was not like this before. Oh how I remember those early days of my life, atop the Himalaya
Mountains in Darjeeling with acres and acres of greenery all around. And how I used to snuggle beneath my
mother in those torrential rains and brave the sun too. My mother often used to say, "Son you are made for
greater things in the world". But then I used to love dancing with the wind and. Insects Oh... What a wonderful
life that was!
Then one fine day, I awoke from my slumber hearing my brothers and sisters shrieking at the top of
their voice. Oh... what’s happened and before I could find out what’s going on, my twin leaves and the tender
bud got plucked swiftly by an expert hand. I did not even have time to say good-bye to all my loved ones. Once
inside the basket, the real journey of my life started unfolding.
At the end of the day, I found myself in a processing factory. There were so many like me and soon we
became great friends. Tender as we were, we were really not prepared for what was coming in for us. But
whatever said and done, my friends and myself promised to always remain together and brave all odds. A little
later in the evening I found hot air blowing over me to remove the excess water. I got choked and my mouth
dried up.
Next day we were put in a rolling machine and felt searing pain as my veins were broken and crushed.
It was really tough and at night when we went to sleep, we found that our bodies had never ached this bad.
One of my friends said, "Hey we are much tougher than this, we can endure much more". Remember once you
come out of this grilling, you can demand a price for whatever you are. With those words and strong
determination
5. PGSEM Newsletter Page 5
determination we went through heat and fire till we became brown and strong. Training and examination over,
we have now been sorted and graded. We are now fully prepared to face the world.
On the D-day as we sat for the campus interview – Lipton, Brook Bond, Tata and host of other
companies came. Some of us were really lucky to be picked up early. I was a bit disappointed initially to see my
close friends getting through while I was left behind. At the end I too got through with Brooke Bond. Never in
my life had I felt so elated!!
Inside the office I soon found myself amongst lots of different types of teas - the green tea, the white
tea, the oolong tea. All my colleagues seemed to have some unique capabilities and were experts in their own
way. For instance, the green tea is delicate in taste and yields pale green beverage. The oolong tea on the other
hand has a mixture of my character and green tea’s taste. I too thought of my strength to produce unique
aroma and astringent taste. I knew that to win I had to improve on my strengths and work on my weaknesses.
Even as we were trying to outperform each other, the leader of our group remarked "Guys, it’s time we
shed our individualistic nature get united and show our strength. We have got an enemy.. Everybody clamored..
Who? Well he said the “coffee”. We gasped!! Even as he said, we found that coffee vending machine in the
break room just beside us.
I felt like hitting and lashing it left and right. But then we discussed and decided that in order to survive
in this world, we would need to make associations. First we started our association with lemon. It was a huge
success, as lemon tea became the talk of the town. Then, I associated myself with cold ice. I was shivering in its
presence but thanks to those hard days of training. It too was a huge success. At home, I developed a special
relationship with ginger and cinnamon to give that special taste. By this time, I had left my enemy the coffee
miles behind and became the world's most favored drink. Everyone needed me at sometime of his day. I have
this unique ability of giving them the much needed energy and rejuvenation. I am the cause why they take a
little break from their monotonous work. I have often eavesdropped into so many interesting conversations but
believe me if one had implemented even 1% of those creative and innovative ideas, this world would have been
a different place to be. Not to mention, the little rumors and chitchats I get to hear from those lovely ladies
during their siesta.
Today I am rich and famous. People like to drape me in costly packets and tea bags and sell at high
prices. My proudest moment was when the great tabla maestro Zakir Husain himself tasted me in front of
millions of viewers and said "Wah… Taj Boliye". International firms have taken me up and produced so many
different flavours – orange, lemon, cranberry, Earl Grey, English Teatime, Herb tea, Mint tea.
But over the years, we from the tea fraternity realized that people lack one thing – that is the proper
way to have a cup of tea. Some gulp it down, some take it like juice. I hear so many interesting conversations of
PGSEM students during their early morning tea, class-breaks and late afternoon high tea. They are always
rushing from one thing to next, one deadline to next – when do they ever have time to drink a cup of tea
peacefully. I have small advice for them:
“Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves - slowly, evenly,
without rushing toward the future. Live the actual moment. Only this moment is life” - Thich Nhat Hanh
I really admire these PGSEM students who brave all odds to learn the essential skills to become a
manager. They seem to be highly motivated, committed, self-driven individuals with superior multi-tasking
ability. But I also understand that Life is a challenge for them as I get to overhear some of their conversations,
elations and frustrations. For all the myriad emotions they go through, all I have to say:
If you are cold, tea will warm you;
If you are too heated, it will cool you;
If you are depressed, it will cheer you;
If you are excited, it will calm you. - William E. Gladstone
So have tea and face the world bravely as the world loves those who can perform under pressure and in the
most difficult of circumstances. I smell and taste the best when put in hot water.

OPTION STRATEGIES
What are Option Strategies?
Option Strategies are set of simple techniques used by investors to earn
money based on their prediction of the volatility of a particular stock or
index. They are created by combining one or more option positions (and
sometimes the underlying stock position). They differ from normal buying
and selling of stocks in sense that they have limited positive as well as
Manish Moorjani
limited negative payoff. Different strategies can be applied in a
(PGSEM 2006-09) Bullish/Bearish/Stable market.
Type of Option Strategies
Option Strategies are generally grouped together into following major categories:
Bullish Strategies: Expectation is for the stock/market to go up(e.g. Bull Spread)
Bearish Strategies: Expectation is for the stock/market to go down(e.g. Bull Spread)
Neutral Strategies: Expectation is for the stock/market to remain at the same level(e.g. Short
Strangle, Short Straddle)
Bullish on Volatility: Expectation is that there would be major movement in the level either upwards
or downwards(e.g. Long Strangle, Long Straddle)
Bearish on Volatility: Expectation is that there would be major movement in the level either upwards
or downwards(e.g. Short Strangle, Short Straddle)
Examples of Option Strategies
All the examples assume the following information:
Stock on which the positions are taken: Infosys
Current Month: September
Options purchased for month: October
Current Stock Price: 1900
October Options available at: 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000, 2100
Option Strategies
Bull Spread
Let’s assume that you expect Infosys price to go up to 2000 in Oct. To bet on this assumption you go
Long on a Call Option @1900 and pay a premium of 50, simultaneously you go Short on a Call Option
@2000 and receive a premium of 10.
So your current pay off is 10 – 50 = -40
Bear Spread
Let’s assume that you expect Infosys price to go down to 1800 in Oct. To bet on this assumption you
go Long on a Call Option @1900 and pay a premium of 50, simultaneously you go Short on a Call
Option @1800 and receive a premium of 80.
So your current pay off is 80 – 50 = +30

on two Call Option @1900 and receive a premium of 2*25=50, you go Long on a Call Option @2000 and
pay a premium of 10.
So your current pay off is 50 – 80 - 10 = -40

Let’s assume that you expect Infosys price to stay within 1800 to 2000 in Oct(but not staying close to
1900). To bet on this assumption you go Short on a Call Option @1800 and receive a premium of 80, you
go Long on two Call Option @1900 and pay a premium of 2*25=50, you go Short on a Call Option @2000

Straddle Short:
Let’s assume that you expect Infosys price not to move much from the current price of 1900, so you are
betting on the stability of the stock price for next 1 month. To bet on this assumption you go Short on a
Call Option @1900 and receive a premium of 50, you also go Short on a Put Option @1900 and receive a

Straddle in Action
Nick Lesson one of the traders for Barings (in Britain) used to trade from Singapore in SIMEX exchange and
Nikkei using the strangle strategy and made money based on arbitrage opportunities. He initially took large
uncovered futures positions in Nikkei 225 Stock index, the market fell sharply because of Kobe earthquake
in Japan, millions were lost. While trying to re-coup loses by investing in higher risk/high rewarding
straddles, he bet the money on Nikkei stabilizing close to 19,000. His bet failed and the losses escalated to
$1.4bn, the bank had to file for bankruptcy soon after.
Summary
Option Strategies look an easy way of making money, but this is far from being true. One reason being, that
these are standardized strategies known and used by most of the traders/investment banks which are in a
better position to exploit these because of lower transaction cost. Second the high return comes from high
risks associated, as seen in the case of Barings Bank if care is not taken the losses incurred can be
phenomenal. But in spite of all these downsides, they are still reasonably useful for people having a high
appetite for taking high risk for higher return.

SURGING AHEAD WITH FOCUS
The calendar tells me that February 2008 is coming to an end and this
triggered me to reflect on the occurrences in the past one year. I am one of the
co-founders of iFocus Systec, a company which provides specialized software
test solutions which formally started operations in March 2007. After more
than two years of discussions and deliberations, one of my closest friends,
Vikram Pawar & I quit from our jobs at RelQ and Philips, respectively and with
the support of our closest friends, gave a tangible shape to our dream, nearly
Pratap Vijay Simha one year ago. At one point of time, in the nascent stage, we were so confused
(PGSEM 2006-09) that we almost abandoned the idea and decided to remain in our current cushy
jobs. But the next morning we were at it again with the ‘die another day’ spirit!
The opportunity to create an ecosystem where we can implement innovative business processes was
and remains to be one of the key motivating factors. We are very clear that in order to make a sustainable
difference in our chosen market, we need to be profitable with a significantly large scale of operations. To do
this, we believe that we need to be both customer and employee centric from the first day to the last day.
We have followed the Ronstadt model of entrepreneurship wherein creating incremental value is the core
focus of the firm while leveraging on unique markets, unique people, unique products and unique resources.
iFocus Systec provides unique services and solutions in performance testing and software test automation
while also handling niche projects in embedded testing.
Being a young company, customer acquisition has been an uphill task but the recent few months
have given us a few of breakthroughs. Our marketing drive has evolved from purely entrepreneurial-
marketing to opportunistic-marketing to a more structured responsive-marketing. Operationally, we started
off with low differentiation with high financial risk. Over a period of time we have increased the
differentiators and the next phase is to reduce risk while increasing innovation.
The experience has been full of ups and downs and will surely get more like a roller-coaster ride. One
of the most painful experiences has been with our erstwhile office. We invested a huge amount of money
and time into creating fixed infrastructure in a three storied rented building in Banashankari, Bangalore with
a very clear purpose. We were rudely made aware of a hidden legal flaw with the building when the
corporation locked us out and did not allow us to operate. What followed was a protracted legal battle in the
Karnataka High Court. It was a drain on our energy and time and created a huge opportunity loss. Then one
day, our Chairman, who is also the promoter of the company asked us to exit the litigated building so that we
can focus on the core business. We realized that in order to win a war, we may have to lose a battle.
In the middle of all this I got married. I was initially apprehensive about the idea; work was extremely
demanding and the PGSEM coursework also took its share of my time. But, I was wrong – it has helped more
than hinder.
Moving forward, we want to scale-up the level of operations and get a visible footprint in the market.
We need to also decouple growth in the services business from its linear dependence on staff size.
The best part of all this is that no two days is the same. Each day presents itself with new
opportunities and challenges. I regularly see business and entrepreneurial myths being busted. There is the
balancing act of matching personal and organizational objectives; the more aligned they are, the more the
level of engagement. I sometimes wonder if there is such a thing as an entrepreneurial nirvana!
