Satyadev Sharma. Location of the project Near Village SIROND Tehsil Roopwas, Distt Bharatpur (Raj.), Proposed Production 1,01,542.5 TPA (ROM). Lease Area 1.0 ha. Govt. waste land Mob. No Status of the Firm An Individual 2.2 Brief description of the nature of the project: Grant Order has been issued on dated 12/01/2005 having vide letter no. 900 in the favor of Sh.Rajendra Prashad.(Annexure 1) Nature of the Project: Mining of Sandstone is proposed in the lease area 1.0 ha. (Govt. waste land) which will be done by Open cast Semi -Mechanized method of mining, near village Sirond, Tehsil Roopwas, District Bharatpur, Rajasthan. Proposed production is 1,01,542.5 TPA (ROM). 2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region: The Mining project falls in the area of the district Roopwas, Rajasthan devoid of sufficient agriculture activities and other industrial growth. The earning sources of the region are limited. The region has scarcity of water. Mineral wealth of the state Rajasthan provides the employment opportunity to the people of the state. Mining is one of the major core 24

5 sector industries which play a crucial role in the process of country economic development. 2.4 Demands-supply gap: The demand of building Sandstone depends on the level of development and the rate of growth of the economy. However, there is a persistent demand for this commodity. Rajasthan being the largest producer is an important sandstone producing state of India. The sandstone has a variety of uses such as roofing, flooring, paving, paneling, beams, pillar, arches, doors and window sills, wall facing, fence posts, mil stone etc. It is especially useful for exterior cladding. It is also suitable for use in chemical industries as flooring, wall fixing and lining. Also used for carving and making window and jallis. 2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production There will be no import for the project. There will be indigenous inputs in the entire mining activity. 2.6 Export Possibility The mining activity is not prospecting exports. 2.7 Domestic/Export Markets Lessee would like to sale out the mineral in domestic market as per requirement. No export is proposed. 25

22 8.2 Project cost estimation Estimated Project Cost for the proposed project is Rs. 30.0/- Lacs. (A) Capital investment/- Site facilities = Rs. 30,000 Machineries & Tools = Rs 25, 20,000 Financial assurance = Rs. 1, 00,000 PMCP = Rs. 2, 00,000 Social fund & activities = Rs. 50,000 EMP = Rs. 50,000 Labour Skill Welfare Programme = Rs. 50,000 Total cost = Rs Lacs/- (B) Operational cost- The mineral will be mined from the lease area and the cost of per ton of mining will be approx. Rs. 180/- per ton. 8.3 ECONOMIC VIABILITY The anticipated cost of mining is Rs. 180/- per ton cost. Average sale value is assumed at Rs /- ton of Sandstone. Hence the project will be viable. 9. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL Project will create direct & indirect employment opportunities within the surrounding region. Unit will use good faith efforts to employ local people from the nearby villages depending upon the availability of skilled & unskilled man-power surrounding the project site. In the proposed project would require significant workforce of non-technical and technical persons. Migration of highly education and skilled experience will result in increase of literacy in the surrounding villages. 42

23 In addition, the proposed expansion of project shall enhance the prospects of employment. Assessment of the potential socioeconomic benefits during mining focused primarily on work force requirements, acquisition of supplies, and the temporary increased demand for services related to the mining project like food, housing, communications, law enforcement, medical care, local transportation etc. Due to these, additional revenue to local suppliers for required products and services related to the construction and operation phases of the project will generate. Thus, mining activities will provide numerous new, although temporary, work opportunities for both skilled and unskilled labor, as well as contribute significantly to the local economy. Additional government revenue expected from royalty, taxes, duties and other fees. An added benefit to the proposed project will result in considerable growth of stimulating the industrial and commercial activities in the state. Small and medium scale industries may be further developed as a consequence. 43
