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.

– $271.56 per student/year to serve Muti-tier Systems of Support, for staff time cost, and
they are currently only serving (5-10% of school population).
– 3 ½ hours per student/year to meet mandate for Academic Personalized Plan for all K-12
students. That’s at least $105 per student in cost per time spent. $95,550 for 910 students
at Pine MS

mind. These targets will be predicated on dates for proof-of-concept
framework, high-priority tasks, user interface integration, bench testing,
data-center integration, in-situ testing, soft launch, initial training, and
launch.
• An independent observer will be the first to enter a site and gain benchmark
data prior to our product intervention. They will continue to monitor to
measure our ability to meet goals and expectations.

Competition
• Competition
– Strengths of competitors: established marketing channels and corporate sized sales force.
Inter classroom teacher support is another observed strength.
– Weakness of competitors: understanding the intimate user needs and workflow process to
a global systems approach.
– GuidEd Key Differentiators: teaming logistics, support tools for problem solving.
• Competitive landscape.
– Big districts are comfortable with proven vendors. And there is tremendous pressure from
big vendors to keep others out. The lack of understanding by educators will be an
obstacle to overcome.

Partnerships
• Five potential channel partners
– Navanti, Capstone, Cayen, and Powerschools, and Groupvine
– We are prepared to be a full service corporation, we will consider partnering for speed to
market and market share potential.

Complimenting PiersonLabs
• GuidEd may add value to PiersonLabs as an intimiate connection with
data at it’s source.
• That synergy and access to data that does not currently exist will produce
dividends that may not yet be anticipated
24. Copyright 2011, GuidEd Fusion
Inc.
24
Other
• Assumptions
– Ability to integrate third party data sources
– IDEA and a commitment to Multi-tier Systems of Support will continue to expand, or at
least be re authorized
– GuidEd’s weakness is that we are an unproven product. Another weakness is that we lack
the capital to bring product to market in timely manner

Financials / Projections
• GuidEd’s target is to capture at least 15% of Washoe and Douglas CSDs’ by
end of year one for at least $293,760.00 in annual subscription fees (2013).
• In year 5 we expect to capture 5.5 million students worldwide with
subscription fees totaling 66 million in annual revenue.

Call to Action
• Need $224,000 to build and roll out product in Northern Nevada 2012-2013.
– Requires that we win at least one small district
