Sand is basic material for civil building & civil construction works. The project shall also provide additional revenue to local body and create direct and indirect employment opportunities, which will catalyze overall growth of the State and improve the quality of life of the people living in the region and transform the region s economy from predominantly agricultural to significantly industrial sector and accelerate the pace of regional development of region. There is huge demand of sand in the region as well as throughout country for the use in construction of House, Canal, Dam, Pachri and other infrastructure etc. (iv) Demand Supply Gap Sand is basic raw material of civil construction works likes building, dams, roads, etc. for construction of walls/base. (v) Demand Supply Analysis Exploiting sand is important for the country s long term economic growth and regional growth. By mining the sand the local body acts as bridge and fills the gap between demand and supply of sand in the market (vi) Employment Generation (direct and indirect) due to the Project The mining establishment presents opportunities of employment to various posts under various cedars viz. supervisory, skilled workmen, semiskilled workmen and unskilled workmen beside casual workmen. However the maximum required labours at the site to justify the production of sand at applied land are detailed below A) Direct Employment : B) Chhattisgarh is a new state in map of India. Considering the growth, State Government has divided the state in 27 districts out of which 9 are recently declared districts. State Government, is carrying on various Infrastructure development projects in all districts, like Pachri Nirman, Dams, Over bridge on rivers/nalla, roads and buildings etc. in addition to these various colonies, power plants, steel plant and cement plants in private sectors are under implementations, all above civil works require sand which is in huge in demand. However supplies of sand in the above sectors are in huge shortage. Therefore, a ready market is available for the proposed sand mine hence looking to the use and demand of sand there exist a good scope for the proposed project.

6 Sand will be excavated in layers up to the depth of 3m. Mining will be done by deploying excavator, loaders, etc. Only 240 days have been considered for mining, rest 125 days of monsoon season for replenishment of the area. After leaving 2 m column of sand above the water table on river bed, mining for each successive year is proposed to its 3m depth of mineral bed with an average annual production of m³ / Year. The area on rotation basis is suggested in such a way that pit of previous year will act as depository during the monsoon season by reducing the velocity and carrying capacity of the stream thus depositing the mineral being transported by the tributary. In totality the principal of Placer Deposit is adopted. Hence following rotation plan is recommended. Mining will be done by open cast semimechanized method by scraping of sand layers with the help of excavator and loaders for loading of minerals, into the trucks, tipper and tractor/trolleys etc. For protection of aquatic life & riparian habitats mining will not be carried out in active channel and a buffer zone of minimum 10 m will be left along the active channel so that the aquatic life and the natural flow of river will not be disturbed. EXCAVATION & TRANSPORTATION The mine area is well connected with fare weather tar road. The applied area is having gentle slope with the gradient of 2 to 4 degrees hence, tracks for the movement of excavator/loader/tractors/dumpers can be made and maintained in any part of the Declared Sand Mine area. Excavation will be done by excavator/loader and the loaded tractor trolleys / dumpers trucks would carry the material. The extent of mechinisation are as under S.N. 1.
