5 Nature of the Project: This project is for mining of Limestone (Building Stone) Near village - Chechat, Tehsil Ramganjmandi, District Kota (Rajasthan), Mining will be carried out by Opencast method. Proposed production is TPA (Limestone). 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 Kota, 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 sector industries which play a crucial role in the process of country economic development. Being a decorative stone, the principle use of this lime stone (Building stone) is in flooring and wall tiles. There is sufficient demand in this region for the purpose. 2.4 Demands-supply gap: The material generated from this mine will be used as decorative stone in flooring and in wall tiles 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. 2.8 Employment Generation (Direct or Indirect) 5

6 The mining project will generate direct & indirect employment. About 52 people will get direct employment and 20 people will also be affected indirectly and employed with allied and related industries, such as transportation, maintenance, etc. 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Type of project including interlinked and interdependent projects: The Chechat Limestone (Building Stone) Mine project is mining for Limestone in the area of ha.

21 8.0 PROJECT SCHEDULE 8.1 Proposed schedule and approval for implementation The Proposed project shall be established after getting the Environmental Clearance from SEAC, Jaipur. 8.2 Project cost estimation Estimated Project Cost for the proposed project is Rs /- Lacs. (A) Capital investment/- Site facility and PPE for Labors = Rs. 2.0 lac /- Machineries & Tools = Rs lac/- Financial assurance = Rs lac/- PMCP = Rs. 2.00/- lacs Social fund & activities = Rs lac/- EMP = Rs. 5 lac/- Miscellaneous = Rs. 1, 00,000/- Total cost Rs. 60 lac/- (B) Operational cost- The mineral will be mined from the lease area and the cost of per ton of mining will be approx. Rs. 350/- per ton. 8.3 ECONOMIC VIABILITY The anticipated cost of mining is Rs. 1000/- per ton cost. Hence the project will be viable. 21

22 9.0 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 & un-skilled 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. 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. 22
