  • Coal. by the Time the District Gazetteer Was Revised in 1926 a Cement Factory Had Grown up at Japla
    INDUSTRIES. THE OLD TIME INDUSTRIES. The physical features of Palamau along with the non-availability of the arteries of communications, electricity and incidence of technical skill delimited the nature and scope of the old time industries. Proper communications are a landmark of progress and so is the avail ability of electricity. As has been mentioned elsewhere communications are only developing since very recent times. Without a network of communication facilities, it could only be cottage industries that flourished in this district in the olden times. Here also the type of the cottage indusries was limited by the availability of communications. The scattered villages of small population and a very few townships and the inaccessibility of many of the markets necessarily narrowed down the scope of the cottage industries which had to cater to the wants of small sections of consumers. The forest offered a subsidiary living to the inhabitants who utilized the jungle grass, reeds, bamboos, etc., and developed a few typical cottage industries like rope-making, catechu manufacture, cocoon rearing and lac industry. There were excellent grazing fields which attracted a large bovine population and the milk products gave occupation to hundreds of people. The ghee and butter of Palamau have still a tradition behind them. Another cottage industry was the utilization of the cotton trees. Palamau, a century before was well noted for cotton weaving as was observed by G. Thompson who carried out the revenue survey and his notes were published in 1866. There was a big cultivation of cotton trees, which led to a flourishing cloth weaving industry.

    Environmental Compliances, Monitoring and Related Advice for Kathautia Open Cast Coal Mines, Daltonganj, Jharkhand ____________________________________________________________________________________ 1.0 INTRODUCTION Mining is a site specific and ecologically sensitive industry. For sustaining national development, mining of coal and minerals is of paramount importance for developed as well as developing countries. To meet the energy requirements of the country, increased coal production has been possible due to large-scale surface mining activities. Surface mining causes environmental disturbance in the form of land degradation, removal of OB material stress on air and water regime and finally interferes in the balance of the ecosystem. To meet these problems, sound environmental management system for pre-mining, active mining and post mining stages in the form of Environmental Impact Assessment, Environmental Management Practice for concurrent mining and Environmental Audit has been made necessary by the regulating state and central authorities. Regular monitoring of the different components of environment is made necessary for evaluating the requirements of environmental management system and its impact in the society. This report presents such study conducted by CSIR-Central Institute of Mining and Fuel Research (CSIR-CIMFR), Dhanbad for Kathautia Open Cast Coal Mine belonging to M/S Hindalco Industries Ltd, Ranchi. i) LOCATION The lease area of KOCCM covers land in villages: Kathautia, Kajari, Garikhas, Palhekhurd, Sakhui, Sikka and Batsara in Patan and Pandwa Blocks of district Palamau (Jharkhand). Kathautia Open Cast Coal Mines (KOCCM), is located in southern boundary of the block is about 10 KM from Daltonganj.
