In the present investigation we analyze the geo-accumulation index and pollution load index of heavy metal concentration in river sediment at studying sites viz: Kalakankar, Shringverpur, Phaphamau, Rasoolabad and Sangam. The four heavy metal were taken for analysis viz: Co, Cu, Zn and Ni. The results indicates that the geo-chemical index of sediments at all the sites remain in the unpolluted state for the heavy metals like Co,Cu and Zn whereas only Ni shows slightly polluted condition of sites Phaphamau and Shringverpur during the summer season. And higher pollution load index were observed at the site Phaphamau for winter and summer season whereas for monsoon it was seen at the site shringverpur. And lower pollution load index were observed at the sites Kalakankar for winter and summer season whereas for the monsoon season it was seen at the sites Sangam. The sites Kalakankar were taken from Pratapgarh, whereas the sites Shrigverpur, Phaphamau, Rasoolabad and Sangam were taken from the Allahabad.
