2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION

2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent

Dattani (M.L. No. 79/05) Masonary Stone Mine is situated at Village -

Dattani, Tehsil- Reodar, District- Sirohi, and State- Rajasthan over an

area of 1 ha. The mine lease was initially granted in favour of Sh. Amit

Sharma S/o Vimal Sharma, R/o Morthala Abu Road, Sirohi, Rajasthan,

later on the lease has been transferred in favour of Sh. Gitender Singh

Yadav, S/o Mahendra Yadav, R/o H.No. ward no-4, Alwar Road,Sohana,

Distt. Gurgaon Harayana, vide order no. KHA/Sirohi/Apr/ML-

79/05/1658 dated 31/03/2015.

2.2 Brief description of nature of Project

The project has been proposed for mining of Mineral Masonary Stone by

adopting opencast Semi-Mechanized mining method.

2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region

Masonary stone is most commonly used as building material. Masonry

Stone finds extensive use in the construction and infrastructural works.

The basic objective of the project is the effective utilization of Material in

the country or region. Masonry Stone is the world's most commonly used

material in construction of road, railway track construction etc. Masonry

Stone will help in the economic growth of the country or region.

2.4 Demands-Supply Gap

The demand for Masonary Stone is ever growing with the growth of the

infrastructure sector in our country. The mineral is used in the

construction activities like buildings, road construction etc. The

requirement for the mineral is always high in the nearby cities and

towns. Therefore there is always a good demand of the mineral in the

domestic market.

2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production

Development needs will be met only through indigenously produced

Masonary stone against the high cost of imported material.

2.6 Export Possibility

There is no proposal to export the mineral. However, Masonary stone

produced from the mine will fulfill the needs of the region and surplus if



any, will be considered for export.

2.7 Domestic/ Export Markets

Domestic Market

Being a building stone, the principal use of this Masonary stone is in

construction of buildings and roads.

Export Market

The proposed mining activity is for indigenous consumption only for real

state, decorative accessories etc.

2.8 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect)

The proposed mining activity for the excavation of masonary stone will

provide both direct and indirect employment in form of labors for mining

process and through transport etc respectively.

produced will be loaded by excavators & dumpers for its transportation to

the reject dump yard & when require will be used for making road. The

waste material shall be dumped outside the mine lease area.

6.8Power Requirement & Supply/Source

The operation will be done only from sun rise to sun set hence there is

no power requirement for the project at site. The electricity line passes

out side near the Lease area. The electricity facility is not available at

mining lease area. Only diesel equipment will be used.

7.0 REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R&R) PLAN

As no personnel are expected to be migrated due to mining in the lease

area and the adjoining region is also having a good mineral potential, the

rehabilitation of the employees is not going to be a problem. The workers

and other staff can get job in the neighboring areas after the end of life of

mine. The applicant shall also try for employment of the workers.
