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
9
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.

16. RET Related Activities of
RECAST
• During last three decades of its existence
RECAST was involved in the following RET
related activities.
• Solar energy
• Micro-Hydro Energy
• Biomass Energy
• Wind Energy
• Geo-Thermal Energy
17. Solar Energy:
• RECAST’s activities in Solar Energy are
concentrated mainly in Solar Thermal
Devices, which included Solar Dryers,
Solar Cookers and Solar Stills. Only initial
research works were carried out on Solar
PV - devices mainly on Solar Water
Pumping.
19. RETs in Asia(1996-2003)
• The project was carried out in three different phases with
the support from Swedish International Development
Cooperation Agency (SIDA) coordinated by Asian
Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand. The regional
programme is entitled “Renewable Energy Technologies
is Asia: a Regional Research and Dissemination
Programme (RETs in Asia). Under this project, RECAST
carried out extensive research activities and developed
different types of solar dryers like, cabinet dryer, rack
type solar dryer, tunnel type solar dryer and solar-
biomass hybrid dryer. These improved solar dryers were
disseminated to different parts of the country by
conducting proper trainings to various community
groups, NGOs, INGOs and local government bodies.
21. Micro-Hydro Energy
• Like Solar Energy, Micro-Hydro Energy is also
one of the RET related activities in which
RECAST was involved from the very beginning
on studies in an improvement on Traditional
Water Wheels, the first activities carried out in
this sector. These were then followed by the
applied research works on low-cost turbines of
cross-flow type and propeller type and in
between a series of other development works on
water lifting devices.
22. Biomass Energy
Improved Cook Stoves (ICS)
• RECAST is the pioneering institute of Nepal
in the development and dissemination of
Improved Cook Stoves (ICS).
• With the support of community Forestry
Development Project (CFDP), assisted by FAO
in 1981, RECAST carried out research works for
the development of designing of improved cook
stoves suitable for Nepal.

25. Biomass Gasification for Electricity
Generation
• RECAST has developed a Biomass gasification plant in 1985/86
based on a Swedish model. The gasifier was tested successfully by
operating 5 hp engine generator as well as a HONDA water pump. It
was a down draft gasifier using charcoal as fuel. The technology
was demonstrated successfully by RECAST at different
technological exhibitions organized at that time by RONAST as well
as Agricultural Development Bank (ADB/N).
• The technology was further demonstrated by the Rural Energy
Development Programmed (REDP) of UNDP with the Resource
Persons from RECAST at Chaubas VDC of Kavre District in
1998/99 for generating electricity. The electricity thus generated
from the biomass gasification plant was supplied to the local
community for lighting in 26 houses for about three months. The
project however, was discontinued because of the management
problems.
28. Biodiesel from Jatropha curcus (1997-2004)
• with the funding support from the University
College Northampton, Oxford Brookes
university, U.K and the British Council in Nepal,
RECAST has undertaken the project entitled
“Exploration and Utilization of the Indigenous
Renewable Oil Resources in Nepal”. Under this
project, RECAST has successfully developed a
process of extracting bio-diesel from the plant
Jatropha curcus and utilizing this plant oil for
operating a diesel engine as a substitute for
diesel fuel.
30. TRAINING TO THE FOCUSED GROUPS
• Skill transfer training
programmes to women groups
• Training programme included
seed and seedlings
propagation and the collection ,
preparation, establishment and
planting
• Operation, simple
maintenance and repair of the
machines
• Soap production and use of its
byproducts
31. • Biomass Briquetting
• In 1982, two different Briquetting technologies were introduced
in Nepal, namely Pyrolysing and extrusion technology. Nearly
20 enterprises registered with the Ministry of Industry for the
installation of Briquetting plants. However, these industries
were closed due to poor profitability and marketing problems,
as well as shortage of rice husk..
• A technique for producing beehive shaped charcoal briquettes
from leaves, twigs and forestry/agricultural residues has been
developed in Nepal. The briquettes are easy to ignite, burn
quite cleanly and can be used for cooking as well as for space
heating.
33. Wind Energy
• There had been some applied R&D works
on wind energy at RECAST. It had
experimented with two different propeller
type of windmill from Allahabad, India at
various geographical locations and
meteorological situations.
34. Geo- thermal Energy
• In this sector of RET only a few field
studies were carried out to ascertain the
characteristics and uses of the existing
geothermal resources in Nepal.
35. Rocket Stove Cardamom Dryer
• Recently, RECAST has developed and
successfully tested Rocket Stove Dryer for the
drying of large cardamom in Panchthar, Ilam
and Dhankuta District. The project was
supported by the Netherlands Development
Organization (SNV). The new dryer has a
uniform heat distribution system and saves
about 50 % fuel wood compared to traditional
bhatti. Cardamom dried in the new dryer is
better in quality retaining its purple color and
higher percentage of essential oil.
36. TRADITIONAL CARDAMOM DRYING
PRACTICES: contd.
Cardamoms are dried in batches of
square or rectangular structure,
stonewalls made up of mud mortared
plastered with mud of 1.5 - 6 sq m and
about 1.2 - 2.5 m high,
front opening of about 60 cm by 80 cm to
feed firewood,
40. • Nepal stands first in global cardamom production
• Can be commercially grown in 39 hilly district of Nepal
However, eastern districts produce 90% of the total
production Taplejung- highest cardamom producing
district
• 18.7 million US $ worth export earning in 2008/09
• One the highest foreign currency generating commodity
• Contributes to more than 70 percent household income
in Taplejung district.
• Offers local employment opportunities
43. • The performance evaluation of the Rocket Stove based
drying system of large cardamom is found better
against the traditional drying technique currently
adopted at Phidim district.
• The 50 % reduction on fuel wood consumption.
• The quality of cardamom is improved by retaining its
pink brown color, smokeless odor and more than 35 %
volatile oil content in comparison to the traditional
dryer.
