  We characterize the evolution of the rest-frame 1500 $\unicode{xC5}$ UV
luminosity Function (UVLF) from AstroSat/UVIT F154W and N242W imaging in the
Great Observatories Origins Survey North (GOODS-N) field. With deep FUV
observations, we construct the UVLF for galaxies at z$<0.13$ and subsequently
characterise it with a Schechter function fit. The fitted parameters are
consistent with previous determinations. With deep NUV observations, we are
able to construct the UVLF in seven redshift bins in the range z $\sim$ 0.8 -
0.4, with galaxies identified till $\sim$2 mag fainter than previous surveys,
owing to the high angular-resolution of UVIT. The fitted Schechter function
parameters are obtained for these UVLFs. At z $\sim$ 0.8 - 0.7, we also utilize
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) F275W observations in the GOODS-N field to
construct the UVLF in 2 redshift bins, whose fitted Schechter function
parameters are then found to be consistent with that determined from UVIT at z
$\sim$ 0.75. We thus probe the variation of the fitted UVLF parameters over z
$\sim$ 0.8 - 0.4, a span of $\sim$2.7 Gyr in age. We find that the slope of the
Schechter function, $\alpha$, is at its steepest at z $\sim$ 0.65, implying
highest star-formation at this instant with galaxies being relatively more
passive before and after this time. We infer that this may be a short-lived
instance of increased cosmic star-formation even though cosmic star-formation
may be winding-down over longer timespan at this redshift range.
