LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
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.

Polovragi Village
- 2. The village is dated from the time of Radu cel Frumos (1462-1475). Archaeological excavations made at Polovragi revealed old dacian fortress and cemetery. There is springing mineral water, identical with Pociovalistea, near Novaci.
- 3. On the bank of Olteţ, in the middle of nature, we are looking at the black eye of a cave in which Zamolxis himself, the goddess so loved by the Dacians, once lived. Named the Zamolxis cave, Pahomie's cave or the Polovragi cave, the karst formation in the Oltenian mountains conceals unpredictable mysteries.
- 4. According to the legends, Zamolxis was the owner of astonishing powers, being able to change the appearance of the young man to the elder as desired. Through the Polovragi cave, the supreme god of the Geto-Dacians goes deep to get out over the mountains at Sarmizegetusa.
- 5. The rumors about the Dacian treasures hidden in Polovragi have attracted a lot of greedy malicious adventurers. All of them had tragic deaths in their foolish attempts to disturb the serenity of the place. It is said that the curse of Zamolxis is still watching the place. Enthusiasts of paranormal phenomena call the "Triunghiul Bermudelor din Oltenia" area.
- 6. Polovragi Monastery It is a monument of feudal art, located at the entrance to Oltetului Gorges, at the foot of Piatra Polovragilor Mountains.
