    BRIEFING BOOK CENTRAL REGION

    (For the period ending December 2010)

    1. INTRODUCTION The Central Region of Geological Survey of India was established on 1st August, 1967

    with the Circle Offices at Madhya Pradesh (including the Circle Office of the present State of

    Chhattisgarh) and Maharashtra having headquarters at Bhopal and Pune respectively. The

    circle offices were mainly involved with the systematic geological mapping and assessment

    of mineral resources. At the Regional Headquarters specialised divisions like Engineering

    Geology, Map compilation, Geophysical investigation, Chemical Laboratory and Drilling

    were established.

    Central Region covers geographical area of 0.751 million sq km in the states of

    Maharashtra (3,07,713 sq km), Madhya Pradesh (3,08,150 sq km) and Chhattisgarh (1,35,195

    sq km).

    Over the years, the Central Region has exapanded its activities and set up its offices at

    Raipur, Jabalpur, Bhopal, Pune with the Headquarters in Nagpur. The activity was further

    expanded to Photogeology & Remote Sensing, Regional Integrated Survey, Quaternary &

    Environmental Geology and the Geodata Division equipped with LAN and WAN

    connectivity including IP Phones.

    Geologically it represents:

    - Archaean Rocks, hosting a majority of mineral occurrences in Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra & Madhya Pradesh.

    - Proterozoic Rocks, including limestones and diamondiferous conglomerates of the Vindhyan in Madhya Pradesh.

    - Gondwana Sequence , a storehouse for coal-lignite and refractory clays. - Deccan Continental Flood Basalts: Late Cretaceous-Early Palaeocene: lava flows

    covering Peninsular shield in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra & Chhattisgarh and

    associated sedimentaries represented by Lameta and intertrappean beds.

    GEOLOGICAL CONTEXT

    Geologically, the Central Region mainly comprises parts of the peninsula shield and

    coastal areas.

    CHHATTISGARH

    Geologically, Chhattisgarh constitutes rock formations ranging in age from Archaean

    to Recent. Northern Crustal Province (NCP) and the Southern Crustal Province (SCP)

    separated by East-West trending Central Indian Shear Zone (CISZ) are the important and

    major tectonic features.

    The oldest rocks in the NCP i.e. the granite gneisses and the enclaves of igneous and

    sedimentary rocks of Archaean age are confined to southern part of the Province in the

    Bilaspur-Raigarh belt. The NCP is devoid of any volcano-sedimentary sequence and

    Proterozoic cover rocks, unlike the SCP. The Gneisses and granitoids exposed to the east of

    Mahanadi basin are designated as Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex Though the younger

    sequences of Upper Carboniferous to Lower Cretaceous Gondwana rocks are well developed

    in the Mahanadi and South Rewa basins, north of Baikuntapar in Surguja area, these two

    basins merge together. Lameta Group is exposed in the Amarkantak plateau region below the

    Deccan Trap. Remnants of Deccan Trap occur in the plateaus in the western and northeastern

    parts of Bilaspur District and southeastern and eastern part of Surguja District. Laterite and

    bauxite pockets occur at Jamirapat and Manipatin, Surguja District and Phutka Pahar, Korba

    District. Quaternary alluvium is confined to major river valleys.

    The SCP is an Archaean to Neoproterozoic assembly of lithotectonic association

    comprising Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic Bengpal, Sukma, Bailadila, Sonakhan Groups,

    gneiss-granitoids and younger Meso to Neoproterozoic cover rocks of Chhattisgarh,

    Indravati, and Pakhal Groups. Together they constitute the Bastar Craton. Palaeoproterozoic

    volcanic rocks of Nandgaon Group extend in N-S direction into the western part of bordering

    Maharashtra. The Dongargarh and its equivalent granites in Madanbera and Kanker- Mainpur

    areas occupy major portion of South Central part of the state. Volcano sedimentary sequence

    of Khairagarh and Abujhmar Groups and sediments of Chilpi Group belonging to Palaeo-

    Mesoproterozoic unconformably overlie the older sequences and the granites in the Maikala

    Range and Abujhmar plateau region. The Mesoproterozoic Pakhal Supergroup occupies the

    Godavari valley region in the southwestern part bordering Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.

    The Meso-Neoproterozoic Chhattisgarh Group of Rocks occupies the plains of Chhattisgarh

    region. The cover sediments of Indravati-Sabari-and Pairi Groups are equivalent of Indravati

    Group and occupy the Jagdalpur plateau. Rocks of kimberlite affinity intrude in to the

  • BRIEFING BOOK - CENTRAL REGION - (For the period ending December 2010)

    6

    Indravati and Khariar sediments and in the gneisses some of which are diamondiferous.

    Laterite and bauxite form cappings at number of places over these rocks in Keskal- Amabera

    areas.

    The state of Chhattisgarh is endowed with rich mineral wealth particularly the iron

    ore, coal, bauxite, limestone, tin and diamond. A wide range of mineral resources offering

    considerable opportunity for the entrepreneurs is found in the state. GSI is presently focusing

    its activities in the state for exploration of fertilizer minerals including rock phosphates. A

    sponsored item for establishing iron ore reserves of Aridongri area under MoU with CGMDC

    is in progress.

    MADHYA PRADESH

    Madhya Pradesh as a part of Central Indian Shield (CIS) contains the rocks ranging

    from Archaean to Phanerozoic age. The Central Indian Shield is divided into two broad

    tectonic domains i.e. the Northern Crustal Province (NCP) and the Southern Crustal Province

    (SCP)- by a long crustal scale curvilinear ENE-WSW trending ductile shear zone called

    Central Indian Shear Zone (CISZ) which continues from southwest of Balaghat to north of

    Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh. Son-Narmada-Tapti valley (SONATA) forms a major zone of

    tectonic activities in this region.

    The oldest litho-assemblages of Archaeans mainly consist of the gneissic

    complexes viz. Bundelkhand, Amgaon, Sidhi, Alirajpur, Betul Gneissic Complex and Tirodi

    Gneisses. The Palaeo to Neoproterozoic cover sediments are represented by Mahakoshal

    Group, Sausar Group covering parts of Balaghat and Chhindwara districts, Aravalli

    Supergroup in Jahabua District, Volcano-sedimentary sequence of Betul belt, Nandgaon

    Group in Balaghat District, Malanjkhand, Bijawar Group in Sagar, Chhatarpur and Harda

    districts, Gwalior Group in Gwalior District, Chilpi Group in Balaghat District and Vindhyan

    Supergroup covers parts of Sidhi, Rewa, Satna, Panna, Chhatarpur, Sagar, Bhopal Shivpuri

    and Guna districts along with the Dongargarh granites in Balaghat District.

    Late Palaeozoic- Mesozoic (200- 100 Ma) sequences are represented by

    Gondwana Supergroup, Bagh Group and Lameta Formation. The Gondwana hosts many

    important coal fields in the Satpura region. Bagh Beds (100 Ma) in Dhar, Jhabua and

    Khargone districts rich in faunal remains like bivalves, gastropods, ammonites and echinoids.

    The Lameta Formation preserves excellent vertebrate fossils including dinosaur nesting sites.

    Deccan Flood Basalt Sequences (DCFB) (Upper Cretaceous-Palaeogene)

    mostly comprising basaltic flows and associated sedimentary beds cover a major part of

    southern and western part of the state. Laterite cover of Cenozoic period occurs as capping on

  • BRIEFING BOOK - CENTRAL REGION - (For the period ending December 2010)

    7

    the high plateaus formed by Deccan Traps. All the aluminum deposits in the state have

    formed in the Cenozoic rocks. The Quaternary sediments of Narmada valley has yielded 500,

    000 years old skull of Narmada man (Homo erectus narmadensis) from Hathnora in Sehore

    District.

    The state is blessed with bountiful mineral resources including Coal, Bauxite,

    Limestone, Dolomite, Rock phosphate, Copper, Lead, Zinc, Manganese, Iron ores, Diaspore,

    Pyrophyllite and Diamond. More than half of the countrys manganese production comes

    from the state. The state is also bestowed with huge reserves of coal in Sidhi, Singhrauli,

    Shahdol, Umariya and Chhindwara districts. Presently, the only diamond producing mines in

    India are located in Panna District. Establishing resources for Copper deposits in

    Malanjkhand in Balaghta District is the most significant contribution of GSI to the National

    Mineral Wealth. Prospects of base metals have been proved by GSI in recent years in the

    Betul Belt. Sizeable resources of gold associated with copper, silver and lead have also been

    established recently in the Imaliya Block of Katni District. A large economically viable

    reserve of Refractory, SMS and BF grade low-silica dolomite proved by GSI of Sagar and

    Chhatarpur districts is a boon to the iron and steel industries.

    MAHARASHTRA

    Maharashtra exhibits a spectrum of stratigraphic sequences of rocks ranging from

    Archaean to Quaternary. The oldest Archaean gneisses, variously designated as Amgaon

    Gneiss, Bengpal Gneiss, Tirodi Gneiss and Peninsular Gneiss are well exposed in different

    parts of the state. The Archaean gneissic complex is unconformably overlain by the

    metamorphosed volcano-sedimentary rocks of Sakoli Group and banded ferruginous

    quartzite, metapelites, quartzites of Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic age. The 3000 m thick

    unfosiliferous plateformal cover sediments exposed along Godavari valley is classified into

    Pakhal, Penganga and Sullavahi groups. Basic and ultrabasic rocks exposed in Sindhudurg

    District are considered to be an extension of the Chitradurga Group of rocks of Karnataka and

    Goa.

    The Palaeoproterozoic acid volcanics and volcanoclastics of Nandgaon Group are

    exposed in the easternmost Gondia and Gadchiroli districts, is intruded by Dongargarh

    Granite (2500 m.y.). Palaeo to Mesoproterozoic Khairagarh Group is consisting of bimodal

    volcano-sedimentaries unconformably overly on the Dongargarh Granite. The rocks of

    Sausar Group occur in Nagpur and Bhandara districts exposed in a 75 km wide and 210 km

    long belt extending into Madhya Pradesh.

  • BRIEFING BOOK - CENTRAL REGION - (For the period ending December 2010)

    8

    The Late Palaeozoic to Mesozoic fluvial sedimentary sequence of Gondwana

    Supergroup is exposed in the Wardha Valley region of Chandrapur, Yavatmal and

    Gadchiroli districts extending northward in Kamthi and Umrer areas of Nagpur District.

    A minor proportion of fossiliferous sedimentary rocks of the marine Bagh Formation

    and freshwater Lameta Formation are exposed below the Deccan Flood Basalt Sequences

    (DCFB). A major part of Maharashtra is covered by with tholeiitic basalts of DCFB (Upper

    Cretaceous to Palaeocene). The DCFB associated with intertrappean sediments are classified

    as Sahyadri Group and Satpura Group.

    The Quaternary deposits are mainly confined in Tapti, Purna and Godavari valleys

    and the fluviomarine deposits in the west coast. Laterite cappings cover almost all the rock

    formations but mostly over the Deccan Trap basalts.

    The eastern and southwestern parts of Maharashtra are occupied by stratigraphically

    older rock formations forming a repository of vast mineral wealth including manganese, coal,

    sillimanite, kyanite, copper, dolomite, limestone, bauxite and iron ore. GSI has remained

    involved with the mineral investigations for gold, tin-tunsten and basemetals and established

    the resources. Presently, the activities of GSI are more focused on mineral exploration for

    base metals and PGE (Platinum Group Elements) in Chandrapur and Gadchiroli districts. The

    geothermal prospects established along west coast are future potential for harnessing

    geothermal energy.

    2.ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

    The Geological Survey of India is now formally declared as an Attached Office of the

    Ministry of Mines, Government of India, following the recommendation of High Powered

    Committee (HPC) set up in 2008. Till July, 2009 it remained a Subordinate Office. The new

    organizational structure of GSI is in accordance with its new-found status. The organizational

    structure of GSI is substantially oriented to meet the needs for the specialization as well as

    multidisciplinary studies.

    The Union Cabinet had constituted a High Powered Committee (HPC) for thoroughly

    reviewing the existing functioning of Geological Survey of India and for assessing its

    capacity to meet the emerging challenges taking into account the technological and

    manpower resources of the organisation. The report of the committee had been submitted and

    accepted. The revised organizational structure, submitted by the Committee and accepted by

    Government, is under the process of implementation. The Headquarter of Mission II is

    located at Nagpur and its organization setup is given below.

    Current Organizational Setup of Central region: Central Region has its Regional Headquarters at Nagpur with its five operational units

    which are located at Nagpur and Pune (Op: Maharashta); OP: MPCG at Bhopal, Jabalpur

    assessing its effect on the biodiversity, the sediments associated with Deccan

    Continental Flood Basalt (DCFB) Sequences of Wardha-Yeotmal-Nanded;

    Chhindwara -Mandla - Jabalpur and Lower Narmada/Bagh valley in Dhar-Khargone

    diustricts, were taken-up. The study remained focused on palynology and dinosaur

    fauna- that are the two reliable tools for correlation. The study has resulted in

    providing time constraints for determining the age of the different formations of the

    various groups (Sahyadri, Amarkantak, Satpura and Malwa groups) of DCFB.

    Environmental and climatic changes from semiarid with strong seasonality to

    inceasing humid across the Deccan Volcanic transition are indicated. Different

    palynoevents including first appearance of diatoms and dinoflagellates in freshwater

    Late cretaceous (Maastrhitan/29R) and appearance of fungal spike zone have been

    recorded. Presence of a major sea-way across central India in Palaeocene time has

    been recorded based on the presence of planktic forams in intertrappean sediments of

    Jhilmili (Chhindwara). Based on the studies a spatio-tempral correlation of the DCFB

    sequences of different geographically separated subprovinces has been established.

    The items are continued in FS 2010-12.

    The item on the preparation and study of the undescribed dinosaur bones in the collection of Indian Museum, Kolkata, has resulted in identifying one new species of

    Abelisaurid theropod and one species of a smaller theropod (Laevisuchus). The

    original fossil site excavated in 1917-1920 by Charles Matley was rediscovered at

    Chotta Simla, Jabalpur, based on the archieves from British Museum of London. This

    item is taken up as a new item to carry out Taxonomic revision and to describe the

    new Abelisaurid Theropod during FS 2010-12.

    Petrology: During F.S. 2009-10 Investigation has been taken-up for detailed petrographic studies of mineralized zones, alteration zones and associated rock types

    of BanskhapaPipariya block in Betul belt, Madhya Pradesh. Intense wall rock

    alterations are recorded on the surface as well as core samples due to pervasive

    hydrothermal activity. The main wall rock alterations viz. chloritization, biotitization,

    sericitization, sausaritization, silicification and epidotization are present. The sulphide

    mineral assemblage recorded includes sphalerite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena,

    covellite, pyrrhotite, along with gold. However, oxides are also recorded viz., zincite-

    franklite, goethite and hematite.Release of sphalerite from probably Zn rich biotite

    and breakdown of gahnite is recorded.At least four phases of mineralization is

    recorded based on textural relationship between ore minerals and also between ore

    and gangue minerals. All the four phases studied are conspicuously related to

    hydrothermal activity.

    During the current FS 2010-12 new item on Petrography and geochemistry of mafic-ultramafic suite of rocks with emphasis on evolution and associated mineralization of

    Mordongri area in eastern part of Betul belt, Chhindwara district, Madhya Pradesh

    14. ESTATE MATTERS The Central Region has its own office buildings at Nagpur, Bhopal, Jabalpur, Raipur &

    Pune. Besides this there are residential quarters at Pune & Jabalpur.

    Excluding Raipur, all other office buildings are 20 or more years old and in need of

    regular maintenance every year. Earlier CPWD used to maintain these building from the budget

    grant received by it from the union Govt. Since last three or four years the CPWD has been

    treating routine maintenance as deposit work( due to scarcity of funds with them) & asking for

    budget allotment for the same. The CRO has been given meager budget allotment under minor

    works head during last few years. As such no routine maintenance has been done through

    CPWD. As a result, the buildings are in pathetic condition profusely leaking, sanitary and

    plumbing lines have been damaged extensively, boundary & parapet walls weakened. Street

    lighting, old electrical wiring has weakened /damaged especially in chemical labs due to acidic

    fumes. This situation is creating problems every now & then in smooth functioning of office.
