The proposed capacity of the project is maximum 27524.4 tones/annum. Proposed land is Private non forest revenue land. Open Cast Semi Mechanized with low level intensity scientific controlled blasting method of mining is the most suitable mining procedure for this mine. This method of mining is used for highest productivity and the lowest cost of any of the broadly used mining methods Brief description of the project is described below – (i) Identification of Project and Project Proponent (a) Name of the Project: Mavliguda Limestone Mine (b) Project Proponent : Amit Jain (c) Postal /Correspondence Address of Project Proponent: Amit Jain S/o. Late Shri Surendra Jain Village/Post - Jagdalpur Tehsil - Jagdalpur District - Bastar State - Chhattisgarh (ii) Brief Description of Nature of the Project The proposed project is mining activity of Limestone (Minor Mineral) with the name of 'Mavliguda Limestone Mine' which is situated at Khasra no. 91 at village Mavliguda, tehsil Bastar and district Bastar (C.G.). This site is 25.70 km away from district office Bastar. The quarry lease of Limestone mining was sanctioned for Lease period of 10 year from 12.01.2012 to 11.01.2022 which is subject to extension for 30 years from the date of first commencement of lease as per rule 38A of MMR 2015 as ammended to project proponent Amit Jain resident of Jagdalpur district Bastar (Karnataka). The granted lease area is 2.02 and the proposed maximum production capacity is 27524.4 t. per annum. The excavation of Limestone will be done by Open Cast Semi Mechanized method with low level intensity scientific controlled blasting. For compliance of Rule 24 and 63 to 66 of MMR 2015 proponent was submitted quarry plan before mining authorities and the plan so submitted has been duly approved by the sanctioning authority vide letter no. as enclosed. The proposed project is < 5 hect. Minor mineral and non-coal mining project thus it is classified as “CATEGORY – B2” project under activity 1(a) of the schedule of EIA notification dated 14th September 2006 as amended by Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, New Delhi by S.O. 141(E) dated 15 January 2016, hence it comes under jurisdiction of DEIAA.

All the other necessary permission and noc’s has been taken by the proponent. Consent to establish & operate/Air/Water clearances from CGCECB will also be taken if instructed by jurisdictional DEIAA. (iii) Need for the Project and its Importance to the Country and/or Region Mineral resources of any country are the “TREASURE-TROVE” of its national economy; Chhattisgarh is one of the richest states in the country with its sparkling mineral wealth. The Chhattisgarh State has enormous reserves of stone & its variety of varies grades spread over mainly in Raipur, Raigarh, Balodabazar-Bhatapara, Janjgir-Champa, Durg, Rajnandgaon, Jagdalpur and Bilaspur districts. Stone is basic material for civil building & civil construction works. The project shall also provide additional revenue to State Government and create direct and indirect employment opportunities, which will catalyze overall growth of the State and improve the quality of life of the people living in the region and transform the region’s economy from predominantly agricultural to significantly industrial and accelerate the pace of regional development of region. There is huge demand of stone chip in the region as well as throughout country for the use in construction of House, Canal, Dam, Pachri and other infrastructure etc. (iv) Demand - Supply Gap Stone Chip is basic raw material of civil construction works likes building, dams, roads, etc. for construction of walls/base. Chhattisgarh is a developing state in map of India. Considering the growth, State Government has divided the state in 27 districts out of which 9 are recently declared districts. State Government, is carrying on various Infrastructure development projects in all districts, like Pachri Nirman, Dams, Over bridge on rivers/nalla, approach roads etc. in addition to these various power plants, steel plant and cement plants in private sectors are under implementations, all above civil works require stone boulders in different sizes which is in huge in demand. However supply of stone boulder & chip in the above sectors are in huge shortage. (v) Demand - Supply Analysis Exploiting this Limestone deposit is important for the country’s long term economic growth and regional growth. By mining the deposit, the lessee acts as bridge and fills the gap between demand and supply of Limestone in the market surrounding the area. Therefore, a ready market is available for the proposed unit hence looking to the use and demand of Limestone boulders which exist a good scope for the proposed project. (vi) Employment Generation (direct and indirect) due to the Project Labors

    ODISHA DISTRICT GAZETTEERS NABARANGPUR GOPABANDHU ACADEMY OF ADMINISTRATION [GAZETTEERS UNIT] GENERAL ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF ODISHA ODISHA DISTRICT GAZETTEERS NABARANGPUR DR. TARADATT, IAS CHIEF EDITOR, GAZETTEERS & DIRECTOR GENERAL, TRAINING COORDINATION GOPABANDHU ACADEMY OF ADMINISTRATION [GAZETTEERS UNIT] GENERAL ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF ODISHA ii iii PREFACE The Gazetteer is an authoritative document that describes a District in all its hues–the economy, society, political and administrative setup, its history, geography, climate and natural phenomena, biodiversity and natural resource endowments. It highlights key developments over time in all such facets, whilst serving as a placeholder for the timelessness of its unique culture and ethos. It permits viewing a District beyond the prismatic image of a geographical or administrative unit, since the Gazetteer holistically captures its socio-cultural diversity, traditions, and practices, the creative contributions and industriousness of its people and luminaries, and builds on the economic, commercial and social interplay with the rest of the State and the country at large. The document which is a centrepiece of the District, is developed and brought out by the State administration with the cooperation and contributions of all concerned. Its purpose is to generate awareness, public consciousness, spirit of cooperation, pride in contribution to the development of a District, and to serve multifarious interests and address concerns of the people of a District and others in any way concerned. Historically, the ―Imperial Gazetteers‖ were prepared by Colonial administrators for the six Districts of the then Orissa, namely, Angul, Balasore, Cuttack, Koraput, Puri, and Sambalpur. After Independence, the Scheme for compilation of District Gazetteers devolved from the Central Sector to the State Sector in 1957.

While numerous ethnographic studies have been made of the predominantly tribal people of Bastar, there have been no attempts to contextualize properly the anthropology of what is now Bastar district. It is for this reason that an historical approach was chosen. This approach has led to the uncovering of a number of salient, anthropological problems: firstly, the

    Sonali Mukherjee CHANGING DYNAMICS OF KINSHIP AND MARRIAGE: IMPLICATIONS OF MINING AMONG THE MARIA OF BASTAR Introduction Discerning the complexities of kinship systems of various pre- industrial societies dominated anthropological investigations in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Since then it continued to engage the attention of anthropologists till about 1970s when it was seriously challenged by studies reflecting on gender and political economy. Kinship was seen not only as nodal point of tribal societies but also a principle of social organization among these communities. A turning point in kinship studies was brought about by David Schneider (1984) who highlighted the western anthropologists’ ethnocentric biases and their inability to distinguish between various facets of kinship structures in the pre-industrial societies. While tracing the trajectory of kinship studies in India, Uberoi (1993) observes that development in this particular field of study has followed the changing paradigms and concerns of anthropology and sociology in the west. Of late the feminist theorists brought a fresh perspective to anthropological investigation. Special attention began to be focused on the household as site of production and reproduction (Uberoi, 1993). Work of Collier and Yanagisako (1987) established the relationship between kinship and gender. They pointed out that gender asymmetries were crucial to the understanding of kinship systems cross-culturally. Differential positions of the various kin need to be understood in a relative perspective so as to have a complete picture of the society being studied. The study explores the changing kinship boundaries and their implications on the social life of Maria, a central Indian tribe.
  • Jungle Kingdom of Bastar

    Jungle Kingdom of Bastar

    JUNGLE KINGDOM OF BASTAR Dr. N.L. Dongre, IPS, Ph.D., DLitt** Maria is the largest group of tribes in Bastar. Goddess Danteshwari is the reigning deity of the Marias The tribalism in peninsular India based on the political and economic characteristics of 'tribal' kingdoms presided over by 'Hindu' kings. These kingdoms were markedly egalitarian with a relatively direct relationship obtaining between the ruler and his tribal subjects, unmediated by the layers of officialdom characteristic of neighbouring Hindu and Muslim kingdoms. This has been typically explained as an evolutionary and historical consequence of ‘primitivism’ reinforced by physical isolation and the operation of exclusionary criteria by Hindu society. However, this article argues that tribals have had more of an upper hand in negotiating status than is hitherto suspected and employs Appadurai's concept of ‘coercive subordination' to re-examine Hindu/tribal relations. By enacting an image of themselves as volatile, forest-dwelling primitives, the tribals ensured their relative freedom from state interference and inhibited the development of revenue-extracting institutions, in turn ensuring a state weak in secular function but ritualistically exalted. This is demonstrated by an analysis of the symbolism of the annual Dasara ritual in the old kingdom of Bastar, during which the Hindu king is subjected to an 'abduction' by the tribal rabble before his confirmation as divine ruler. Such rituals suggest a fresh interpretation be given to the so-called tribal rebellions of 1876, 1910 and 1961 which occurred in the kingdom of Bastar. ______________________________________________________________________________ **Dr. N.L.
