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

4. Introduction:-
Insider trading is defined as using unpublished price sensitive information
to deal in securities of a company for one’s own benefit.
In India, insider trading was earlier governed by SEBI through its Securities
And Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations,
1992. However, in November 2014,SEBI issued new Regulations called
Securities And Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Insider Trading)
Regulations, 2015 for prohibiting the insider trading (last amended on AUG
05, 2021).
Under these Regulations an “Insider” is defined as: "any person who is (i) a
connected person ,or ; (ii) in possession of or having access to unpublished
price sensitive information (UPSI)”
The new regulations have been aimed at making the Indian market more
transparent and provide a level-playing field to all traders and investors

15. Practical cases studies on Insider
Trading:-
a). HLL and BBLIL Merger Case:-
b). Rakesh Agarawal v/s SEBI:-
16. In August 1997, SEBI charged HLL of insider trading by using
Unpublished Price Sensitive Information.
HLL-BBLIL Merger Case:-
HLL bought 8 lakh shares of BBLIL from UTI at Rs 350.35 per share
(At a premium of 9.5% of the ruling market price of Rs320) just two
weeks before the formal announcement knowing that the HLL and
BBLIL were going to merge.
SEBI held that HLL was using unpublished , price sensitive
information to trade , and was therefore guilty of InsiderTrading.
SEBI directed HLL to pay UTI Rs 3.4 Crore in compensation, and
also initiated criminal proceedings against the five directors of HLL
and BBLIL.
17. HLL-BBLIL Merger
Case(continued):-
HLL appealed against the SEBI verdict to the Union
Ministry of Finance.
HLL contended that before the transaction, the merger was the
subject of wide speculation by the market and the media.
After the formal announcement, press articles mentioned that
the merger was no surprise to anyone.
HLL pointed out that the share price of BBLIL moved up from Rs
242 to Rs 320 between January and March, before the
transaction, indicating that the merger was “ generally known
information”.
HLL contended that to be considered as an insider, it should
have received information “by virtue of such connection” to
the other company.
18. According to HLL, it was an initiator and the transferee, and it was
the “primary party” to the merger and no primary party to the merger
can be considered an insider from the point of view of InsiderTrading.
HLL-BBLIL Merger
Case(continued) :-
HLL argued that only the information about the swap ratio could be
deemed to be price-sensitive and that this ratio was not known to
HLL or its directors before the purchase of shares from UTI.
HLL also argued that the news of merger was not price-sensitive as it
had already been announced by the media before the official
announcement and claimed that the purpose of the purchase of
shares was to enable Uniliver to acquire 51% shares of BBLIL.
In July 1998, the Appellate Authority of the Finance Ministry
dismissed the SEBI order.
19. Rakesh Agarwal v/s SEBI :-
One of the most famous case highlighting the vulnerability of
the SEBI’S 1992 regulation.
Rakesh Agarwal, MD of ABS Industries LTD. was involved in
negotiations with Bayer A.G, regarding their intention to
takeover ABS.
As per SEBI, Rakesh Agarwal had access to the Unpublished
price-sensitive information.
SEBI alleged that prior to the announcement of acquisition,
Rakesh Agarwal, through his brother-in-law, had purchased
shares of ABS and tendered the said shares in the open offer
made by Bayer.
Rakesh Agarwal contended that he did this in the interest of
the company.
Pursuant to Bayer’s condition to acquire at least 51% shares of
ABS, he, through his brother-in-law bought the shares and sold
them to Bayer.
20. Rakesh Agarwal v/s SEBI
(continued) :-
The SEBI directed Rakesh Agarwal to “deposit Rs 34,00,000
with Investor Education & Protection Funds of Stock Exchange,
Mumbai and NSE”.
SAT (Securities Appellate Tribunal) held that the SEBI order
directing Agarwal to pay Rs 34 lakh could not be sustained, on
the grounds that Rakesh Agarwal did that in the interests of
the company.
The matter was then settled on consent basis and Mr. Rakesh
Agarwal paid Rs 48 lakhs.
21. Challenges in front of SEBI
:-
SEBI faces several challenges in establishing links and procuring
proof while probing insider trading cases, due to which
investigation into such cases takes much longer time than in
other cases of market manipulation.
The insider trading is mainly carried out in a clandestine
manner and the wrongdoers typically use proxies for
communicating the relevant information and for executing the
trades. Inadequate data to prove connections.
The non-availability of telephone and e-mail records.
in
Multiple layer of bank transaction , inadequate info in bank
statements.
22. Conclusion :-
Despite having experience and advancement in technical
finesse SEBI could not untangle the corruption web of insider
trading in Indian stock markets. Are they simply Incompetent
are they diligently insincere ? I would say both.
It took SEB It till the year 2008-09 to realize that the term
“insider trading” did not literally mean “insiders with in the
company” who traded the company’s shares based on
information, but actually mean biased trades by anybody –
inside or outside the company – who was in the know of
“insider” information about the company that had the capacity
to influence stock prices
While SEC keeps coming out with stock market reports on each
insider trading, there’s something more that SEC does, the
absence of which should make SEBI question itself. And that is,
an investigation of SEC’s own processes on where it went wrong
