The category of project is B2. The lease applied area exhibits almost plain topography. The quarry operation is proposed to carry out with open cast semi mechanized mining with 5.0m vertical bench width of the bench is not less than bench height. Quarrying operation is carried out Splitting of rock mass of considerable volume from the parent rock mass by jackhammer drilling and blasting, hydraulic excavators are used for loading the Rough Stone from pithead to the needy crushers/other buyers for road project and construction works for filling and leveling of low lying areas. Occasionally hydraulic excavators are attached with rock breakers for fragmentation to avoid secondary blasting. The quarry operation is proposed up to depth for 22m below ground level. Geological Resources is estimated at 3,28,600m3 of Rough Stone and 32,860m3 of Gravel.

Theoretically, it argues that Lefebvrian scholars tend to conflate two distinct meanings of urbanization: a) urbanization understood simply as the territorial expansion of certain kinds of built environment associated with commodity production; and b) urbanization as the reproduction of capitalist modes of production of space on an expanded, planetary scale.

  • Rural Urbanism in Tamil Nadu Notes on a “Slater Village”: Gangaikondan, 1916–2012 John Harriss,* J
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Rural Urbanism in Tamil Nadu Notes on a “Slater Village”: Gangaikondan, 1916–2012 John Harriss,* J. Jeyaranjan,† and K. Nagaraj‡ Abstract: Gangaikondan, a village outside Tirunelveli in southern Tamil Nadu, was the subject of one of the village surveys conducted by the students of Professor Gilbert Slater from the University of Madras in 1916, and re-studied in the mid-1930s, the 1950s, and 1984, and most recently by the authors in 2008. The paper presents the findings of the most recent study and traces the story of agrarian social change in the village through the 20th century, drawing on the successive surveys. At the beginning of the century Gangaikondan was dominated by Brahman landlords; by its end the most numerous Dalit/Scheduled Caste community, the Pallars, had more land in aggregate than any other single caste, though most owned only small holdings. They were also pre-eminent in the electoral panchayat institutions of the village. The agricultural economy of the village has declined fairly steadily, and it might be described as being now “post-agrarian” in the sense that only a small minority of households depend primarily upon agriculture. Keywords: village studies, caste relations, landlords, diversification, non-farm employment. Prologue The Madurai edition of The Hindu, on August 17, 2012, reported that the Collector in charge of Tuticorin district of Tamil Nadu had given away four power weeders in a function held at the District Collectorate. “Power weeders were given to paddy farmers,” the newspaper reported, “to offset the woes of labour shortage in the present scenario.” This event nicely reflects an important part of the story of economic and social change in the village of Gangaikondan, now in Tuticorin district, through the twentieth century.

However, the development is not uniform all over the State, and in certain districts of Tamil Nadu, intensive groundwater development had led to declining water levels, increasing trend of Over Exploited and Critical Firkas, saline water intrusion, etc. ADMINISTRATIVE SET UP The geographical extent of Tirunelveli District is 682308 hectares (6823sq.km) accounting for 5.25 percent of geographical area of Tamil Nadu State.
