Abstract- Gypsum is a naturally occurring mineral produced in 13 million tonnes of soil reclamation grade and the rest is many parts of the India and the world. Chemically it is hydrated unclassified. The total recoverable reserves of all grades of calcium sulfate. The chemical formula for pure gypsum is gypsum in Rajasthan are of the order of 105.5 million tonnes. Ca(SO4)•2(H2O). In the chemically pure form, gypsum contains With few exceptions, gypsum in India occurs mostly in thin beds, 23.28% calcium (Ca) and 18.62% sulfur (S) in the readily veins, lenses and as isolated clusters of crystals in various available sulfate form (SO4). However, the typical gypsum formations.

The Principal consumer of mineral Gypsum is construction On the basis of these projected cement production growth sector. Construction Industry in India is increasing with the figures, as per the base line, India´s cement industry will be avege growth of 11% per annum .Cement is the primary requiring over 428 million tonnes of gypsum during the next 15 requirement of this Sector. With the increase in GDP the years against the local gypsum resources (natural and as by- investment in Infrastructure in India increased and as the demand product) of around 115 million tonnes, which means India of Cement Increased the demand of natural Gypsum also depends on over 313 million tonnes of gypsum through imports. increased. Natural gypsum will remain the primary source of cement The cement industry in India is continuously growing. commodity for decades to come. There is presently no substitute According to various research reports and in view of the for gypsum in the production of cement. In Rajasthan there were upcoming massive infrastructure developments, the Indian 33 reporting mines during the year as against 38 in the preceding cement consumption is expected to increase at a rate of 9-11 % year. Two principal producers i.e RSMML and FAGMIL per year. The rising costs of raw materials like gypsum and coal together accounted for about 99% of the total production of have been playing a heavy strain on the cement and construction gypsum.Five mines producing above 2 lakh tonnes annually contributed 70% of total production, 2 mines producing between one to two lakh tonnes contributed 9% of the total production, 3 www.ijsrp.org International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, Volume 6, Issue 2, February 2016 70 ISSN 2250-3153 mines producing between 50 thousand tonnes to 1 lakh tonnes cement sector had started moving towards the alternate sources contributed 7% of total production, 15 mines producing between as well as starting importing their requirement. This imports are 10 thousand to 50 thousand tonnes accounted for 13% of total creating negative impacts on the Indigenous mines and inducing Production of natural Gypsum is on decreasing Trend by 11 % economic losses to Indian natural Gypsum producers.So there is per year against it the demand of Gypsum is increasing.The need to find out new promising areas as well as to find the major deficit in the production of natural gypsum is due to in buyer’s of low grade natural Gypsum. consistent quality of natural gypsum.Due to this inconsistency Table:5.1 Production of Gypsum in India ( data of 1951 to 2015) Year 1951 1961 1971 1981 1990-91 2000-01 2002-11 2012-15 Production 33 14 in’000 207 866 1,089 957 15,89 12,586 million million (MT) ( MT) (MT) Chart:-5.1 Showing Growth in demand of Natural Gypsum In India: MINERAL GYPSUM OCCURRENCE IN BIKANER: Total 34 mining leases of Mineral Gypsum are existing in Bikaner is known for its Gypsum deposits all over India. the Distt. out of which 11 ML’s are of Rajasthan Govt. or Central Out of 8 Tehsils of Bikaner ,4 tehsils are having the deposits of Govt. ownership rest of the 23 Mining Leases are of Private natural Gypsum.

A B S T R A C T The Indira Gandhi Nahar Project (IGNP) is a multi-purpose project which was built to provide fresh water to semi-arid regions of Western Rajasthan and to rejuvenate the Thar region, and it has many positive socioeconomic impacts. IGNP irrigation project has been a boon for economic upliftment of the people in the area and has turned drought affected area into a green bowl. However, the environmental impacts of this new canal water supply have mainly been negative. The economic boon gave rise to many environmental implications such as water logging, deterioration in quality, soil salinity, siltation of canal by sand, water born diseases. The xeric biodiversity of the region is also under threat, to the point of extinction of some species. Occurrence of water logging conditions in command areas and emerging scenario of ground water drought conditions in other parts, calls for judicious management of available water resources.

This has resulted in increased productivity and efficiency, leading to increased incomes for our artisans, and increased sales for the company. The Village Craft Centers or Kala Kendras have helped make women’s work visible, and allowed many of them who have had no access to formal education or formal training, contribute to the economic and social development of their families. This is a ray of hope, at a time when the labour force participation of women in the country has been declining.

    REPORT ON DYNAMIC GROUND WATER RESOURCES OF RAJASTHAN (As on 31 st March, 2013 ) Prepared by Central Ground Water Board Ground Water Department Government of India Government of Rajasthan Western Region, Jaipur Jodhpur Jaipur February 2016 Executive Summary Rajasthan is the largest state of country having an area of 3,42,326 Sq.Km. (10.4% of the country’s geographical area). In Rajasthan, 91% of the Domestic Water requirements of Rural/Urban Sector are being catered from Groundwater Sources and only 9% Water requirement is being met from surface water sources. The source of surface water is limited to canal system of only few rivers mainly IGNP, Mahi, Chambal, Bisalpur Reservoir & recently constructed Narmada Canal. In spite of poor quality and meager quantity, the groundwater resources in the state are the only most reliable and dependable source for sustenance of life. Water demand is increasing at a faster rate due to increase in population, green revolution, rapid Industrial growth, urbanization and changing living standards. About 77% of the total irrigation water demand and most of the Industrial Water requirements are being catered from Groundwater resources only. Thus, meeting the various sectors’ demands and safe water supply to human being are the challenging tasks for the planners in the State. The necessity, therefore, arises to estimate this dependable and precious resource periodically for meeting the various demands. Administration of the state is controlled by seven divisions constituted by 33 districts, 215 tehsils, 248 blocks and 44672 villages. About three fourth (76.6%) population of state resides in rural area whereas less than a quarter (23.4%) lives in urban area.

  • Vikas Rawal Recent Peasant Struggles in Rajasthan
    The Marxist Volume XXI, No. 4 October-December 2005 Vikas Rawal Recent Peasant Struggles in Rajasthan INTRODUCTION There has been a surge of militant agitations by peasants in Rajasthan over the last few years under the leadership of the All India Kisan Sabha and the CPI(M). These include, most importantly, struggles on issues related to canal irrigation in the command area of the Indira Gandhi Nahar Project and struggles on issues related to supply of electricity for agriculture. The struggles on the issue of canal irrigation took place in Ganganagar, Hanumangarh and Bikaner districts. The struggle on the power front was organised in the wake of neo-liberal power-sector reforms undertaken by the Congress and the BJP governments. While peasants from all over Rajasthan participated in this struggle, main mobilisation took place in Sikar, Nagaur, Jhunjhunu, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Jalour, Churu and Bikaner districts. This article describes and analyses the objective conditions that led to large scale mobilisation of peasants for militant agitation. It also documents the course of these agitations and discusses the importance of these agitations for the left movement in Rajasthan. STRUGGLES FOR RIGHT TO WATER FROM THE IGNP CANAL Background The Indira Gandhi Nahar Project, or what was originally called the Rajasthan canal, was commissioned in 1958 and was built in two phases. The canal gets water from the Pong dam in Himachal Pradesh. The first phase of the project covered a command area of 5.53 lakh hectares. The second phase of the project aimed to provide irrigation to 14.1 lakh hectares of land.
