As due to migration, now-a-days the population of cities is increasing due to which urbanization is taking place which in turn changing the Land forms of this region drastically and which in turn effect Land Cover Indices and the change in land cover indices effects lives of different species. The current study is based on changing pattern of land cover indices such as MNDWI, NDBaI, NDBI, NDVI and SAVI and it’s effect on different species of Kanpur Metropolis which is located on the bank of the river Ganga and occupies the area of Kanpur Nagar District with the Yamuna River serving as the region's southern boundary due to it’s urban sprawl. As the land cover dynamics effects the human health and ecological evolution. The study is based on calculation of Land Cover Indices and retrieval of Discomfort Index and Urban Thermal Field Variation Index carried out by using Landsat 5, 7 & 8 data for the years 1991, 2001, 2011 & 2021 having projection WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_44N with 30m spatial and thermal resolution using ArcGIS 10.8 The study shows the effect of land cover indices on human health and ecological evolution of Kanpur Metropolis by Linear trend analysis taking 168 points into consideration. The study also gives some idea about to make development plans for Ganga-Yamuna Doab region of India.
