In case of mining project, a copy of mining lease/letter of intent should be given

I. The precise area communication letter was issued by the District Collector, Krishnagiri

passed an order vide Rc.No: 82/2012 (Mines – 2) Dated: 15.04.2015.

II. The mining plan was approved by the Deputy Director, Department of Geology and

Mining Krishnagiri vide Rc.No: 82/2012/Mines – 2 Dated: 22.04.2015



(ii) Brief description of nature of the project

The Rough stone quarrying operation is proposed to carry out by conventional opencast

Semi mechanized method by formation of benches. Twelve benches are proposed with a height

of 5mts on Rough stone. The width of each bench is proposed not less than the height. The

quarry operation involves jackhammer drilling; Slurry blasting and excavators are used for

loading of Rough stone to needy crushers.

The proposed quantity of reserves is about 851195m3 of Rough stone for a period of Ten

years, there is no overburden anticipated. The area has been quarrying operation earlier. The

entire quarried out Rough stone will be sold to needy crushing units hence wastages is not

anticipated. The quarry operation is proposed up to depth for 60m (40m above the ground level +

20m below the ground level) for a period of Ten years.

(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region

The Rough stone is important building material to our country and Region, it’s a vital

material for construction industries and the Rough stone quarrying project falls in the area of

Krishnagiri District, where plenty of Road widening projects are been carried Salem - Bangalore

(NH - 7), Rayakottai - Attipalle (SH–85) is being under massive development hence a lot of

Rough stone is required for Granular sub base (GSB) and also for the culverts and bridges.

Besides catering domestic construction project.

Other infrastructure projects like building, Bridges are also under progress hence there is

a huge demand of Rough stone for public sector companies and local private sector projects.

The earning source in the targeted area is limited, most of the people in and around the

area depend upon the seasonal agriculture, much of the people migrate to nearby towns where

good, and industries and factories are growing up. Through this project will give employment

opportunities to 16 employees directly and 6 people indirectly.

Mineral Industries of the state of Tamil Nadu provides employment opportunities for the

people of the state as well as in the specific project area. The Quarrying is one among the major

core sector for industries, which plays a vital process of country’s economic development.

(iv) Demand and supply gap

There is a huge demand of Rough stone in Krishnagiri District as many National Road

projects (NH-7) connecting Salem - Bangalore is under massive development for its widening

and strengthening operation apart from this many bridges and fly overs are also being under



construction. There is a huge demand of Rough stone for infrastructure development of the state;

hence the project is significant to the state.

The Railway line from Kelamangalam - Periyanagai is also under progress where huge

Rough stone is required as Ballast. Other internal panchayat Roads, State Highway roads and

Major District Roads are also under progress, besides all these public works projects the Rough

stone is widely used for domestic construction project like Hospital, School, Government

Building and Housing, Construction. It is worth mentioning that the Rough stone of Krishnagiri

District.

(v) Imports vs indigenous production

There is no import of Rough stone at present in India.

(vi) Export Possibility

There are no possibilities for export.

(vii) Domestic/Export Markets

The applicant after obtaining the lease will fetch a domestic market as mentioned earlier.

It is propose to sell Rough stone domestic needy crushers for roads project and other

infrastructure development projects for public and private sector companies.

(viii) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project

It is proposed to deploy about 16 employees directly and 6 persons will be indirectly

Benefited .The tentative man power required for the proposed Rough stone quarry shall be as

follows.

a. Skilled labor

Mines foreman/

Permit Mines Manager - 1

Excavator operator - 2

Co- operator - 2

Jack hammer operator - 6

Blaster/ mate - 1

b. Semi-skilled

Watchman - 1

c. Unskilled - 3

Total - 16

The above man power is adequate to meet out the production schedule and the machinery

strength envisaged in the mining plan and also to comply with the stationary provisions of quarry

safety regulation.



It is been ensured that the labours will not be deployed less than 18 years, No Child

labours will engaged or entertained for any kind of quarrying operations. All the labours

engaged for quarrying operations will be insured till the end of life of quarry.
