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.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

school on Tuesdays to develop the SITE/Council
& General Session agendas.
8. Week #1 – Leadership/SITE
Council
• The SITE Council and Leadership Council were the
same people, meeting concurrently
• Composition: Reps from PTA, ASB, ELAC, Community, CSEA, ADMIN, GTA, Faculty Pres, Dept Chairs
– Two teachers had “half votes” on the SITE Council and full votes on the Leadership Council to achieve Compensatory Education compliance
on the SITE Council and Teacher equity on the Leadership Council.
(SITE Council 6-6; Leadership Council 8-1-8 ---- the Principal and CSEA roles changed on the two bodies)
• SITE/Leadership Council options:
– Make recommendation to General Session
– Remand to Task Force
– Remand to Administration
9. Week # 2 – General Session
• The General Session was composed of all teachers,
classified staff and interested parents, students &
members of the community.
By agreement, 50% of the vote must be teachers; other stakeholders had full votes unless they outnumbered the
teachers, in which case they cast fractional votes. The General Session was mandatory for teachers only.
• The General Session was chaired by the Faculty
President. The Faculty President and Principal met in advance to develop/review the agenda
and prepare a “consent agenda” of routine matters. The agenda was distributed in advance with
recommendations from the SITE/Leadership Council.
• The General Session voted on SITE/Leadership Council
recommendations
• Approval resulted in policy Policy was added to the Faculty Handbook
• Disapproval resulted in the issue being remanded to the
appropriate Task Force
10. Week # 3 – Training/In-service
• Monthly training was mandatory for teachers,
and focused on curriculum, instruction and
assessment.
• Weekly training was voluntary, but paid at the
contract rate from Title I.
• It was often combined with CSULA classes.
• 100% of the teachers attended, as did many
classified, students, parents and business
partners.
11. Week #4 – Stakeholder Meetings
• The following groups met:
–Departments (Language Arts, Math, Science, PE, History, Electives)
–PTA
–SAC/ELAC
–ASB
–Administrative Team
• In addition to group-specific tasks, the
Stakeholder Groups crafted
recommendations for the SITE/Leadership
Council
12. Task Forces
• Teachers were required to serve on a Task Force
• Classified, students, parents and community
members were invited and usually came
• Task Forces convened as needed when the
SITE/Leadership Council could not come to a
recommendation in the allotted time or when it felt
expertise/research was necessary.
• Task Forces also convened when the General
Session did not approve the SITE/Leadership
Council’s recommendation
• There were four standing Task Forces:
– Curriculum -- Finance
– Programs/Student Activities -- Goverance
13. Exceptions
• It was understood the Administration would act
unilaterally in emergency situations.
• When there was not time for the process, the
Faculty President and Principal crafted “Executive
Recommendations”
• It was understood that the school governance
system had to subordinate to federal, state, county,
and school board policy & regulations.
• Matters remanded to administration by the
SITE/Leadership Council and/or mandated by the
district were enforced unilaterally.
14. Community Involvement
• Community organizations participated in the school
governance.
• Examples:
– Business partners donated $1000s in school supplies, furniture and
computers
– Business partners tutored students & sponsored programs
– USC & UCLA sponsored EL students and took them on field trips.
Native language tutoring in 10 languages was offered on Saturdays.
– A local restaurant hosted the SITE/Leadership Council and provided
free food & beverages
– Students fundraised to present over 1000 new Teddy Bears to people
living with HIV, Cancer, Leukemia & abuse
– Law Enforcement sponsored a club and numerous programs
– Students “adopted grandparents” in the local retirement homes and
convalescent hospitals
– The school sponsored English Language, Citizenship and Parenting
classes in a weekly Parent Institute.
– A network television channel featured the school in nearly a dozen
broadcasts. Similarly, local newspapers published articles, as did the
Kappan.
15. Reflection
+ Student achievement - The system was at times
improved inefficient
+ Student behavior improved - The system was vulnerable to
dramatically reversals
+ The school culture was - Central office conflicts were
superior – low turnover frequent*
+ Parent/community - The Boards of Education felt
involvement was excellent a loss of control*
+The principal’s teaching - An unhealthy rivalry developed
expertise was utilized with other schools
+ Extremely positive union - The system did not survive
relationship superintendent/board changes
16. Immediate Benefit
• By eliminating the Assistant Principal
position we were able to save two teacher
positions.
• Class size remained between 28-33
despite a $250,000 cut in the school’s
budget
• Mobilization of the expertise and
experience of the staff
17. The Unexpected Benefits
• Senior faculty expressed appreciation of the opportunity to
exert leadership without having to leave the classroom.
• An usually high percentage of the assistant principals
became principals.
• Younger faculty had the opportunity to try out school
leadership before committing to a MA in Educational
Administration (many, however, did !)
• Very broad-based leadership--(the Faculty President only
served for 1 quarter)
• The classified staff felt unusually valued and their leadership
contribution was valuable.
• Faculty & staff expressed in surveys this helped them avoid
“burn-out”
