7 2.3 Need of the Project and Its Importance to the Country / Region The factors attributing the need for the project are highlighted as follows: The proposed mining project under reference has got its importance because the lease area is a source for Manganese ore (more the 25% Mn). The operation of the mines will give employment opportunity to most of the local people both directly/ indirectly. The growth in their income will naturally be enhanced and improve overall socio-economic scenario of the region. The project will also improve the health and sanitation c onditions of the people, and will help in providing better education to the local community. The continuity of the project shall also generate lots of revenue to the government exchequer. 2.4 Export Possibility Out of total mineable reserve 90% is saleable. The ore to be produced from the mine will be entirely sold in the domestic market and the size / grade specification of the ore depends on the requirement of the customer. The manganese ore produced from the mine would be sent to the different industries like ferro manganese plant & battery industries. Page-7

8 2.5 Demand Supply Gap Due to high demand in the domestic market, there is no possibility of exporting the ore. 2.6 Employment Opportunity (Direct and Indirect Due to the Project) Direct Employment: During operation of the mines, the project is likely to generate substantial employment and income of which significant portion is likely to trickle down to the local people. But many people will be benefited from indirect employment. This will generate substantial income for the local people. Hence it can be said that the project is going to have significant employment and income effects. About 62 persons will be engaged in the mine as direct manpower Indirect Employment: Based on the present day management policy, indirect employment will be much larger than direct one. In the case of indirect employment also, the effect is likely to be quite strong and widespread due to its multiplier effect. Indirect employment may be created in the small scale industries, supplying vendors, contractors, consultancies etc. to cater the needs during operation of the mines. Overall assessment of the employment and income effects indicates that the project has strong positive direct as well as indirect impact on employment and income generation. Page-8
