1. INTRODUCTION
Chhatarpur was founded in 1785 and is named after the Bundela Rajput leader Chhatrasal, the founder of Bundelkhand independence, and contains his cenotaph. The state was ruled by his descendants until 1785. At that time the Ponwar clan of the Rajputs took control of Chhatarpur. The state was guaranteed to Kunwar Sone Singh Ponwar in 1806 by the British Raj. In 1854 Chhatarpur would have lapsed to the British government for want of direct heirs under the doctrine of lapse, but was conferred on Jagat Raj as a special act of grace. The Ponwar Rajas ruled a princely state with an area of 1,118 square miles (2,900 km2), and population of 156,139 in 1901, which was part of the Bundelkhand agency of Central India. In 1901 the town of Chhatarpur had a population of 10,029, a high school and manufactured paper and coarse cutlery. The state also contained the British cantonment of Nowgong. After the independence of India in 1947, the Rajas of Chhatarpur acceded to India, and Chhatarpur, together with the rest of Bundelkhand, became part of the Indian state of Vindhya Pradesh. Vindhya Pradesh was later merged into the state of Madhya Pradesh in 1956.

GEOLOGICAL SETUP:- An area of about 800 sq.km. of Bundelkhand granitic terrain falling in toposheet Nos.63C/4 & 63D/1 in Chhatarpur dist. M.P. Mainly two types of lithounits are encountered in the area - one is porphyritic granite and the other is medium grained non - porphyritic ferromagnesian poor pink granite of which the later one is younger than the former. Besides these, there are few older meta-sedimentary/ metabasic enclaves within the porphyritic granite. Both the types of granites are homophonous in nature but at a few places crude foliation is developed especially near the vicinity of the shear zone which trends NE-SWly. The foliation trends N (70-75)° E-S (70-75)° W with sub-vertical dip. Few prominent quartz - reefs forming linear ridges with NE-SWly trend, traverse the granitic terrain. Both the types of granites are dissected by NW-SE trending dolerite/gabbroic/basaltic dykes and numerous pegmatite and quartz veins and few aplitic veins.Both the quartz - reefs and the shear zones are devoid of any mineralization.

5. LAND UTILIZATION PATTERN IN THE DISTRICT: FOREST,AGRICULTURE, HORTICULTURE, MINING
Forest Treasure: The district has extensive forests. About 30% of the total area is covered by forests only. The District is rich in minerals. Forest covered 76500 Hecters.
Agriculture: Rich in forest and minerals resources, the district with added irrigation can also yield better agricultural returns, particularly in the respect of paddy. However, wheat, gram, Soyabeen, and maize crops are also sown. 6 The total crops area of the district is 119296 hect.(Non Forest) in which Karif crops and Rabi crops.
Mining
Chhatarpur district have Dimension Stone, Murum, Metal Stone & Sand are the minor Minarets are available in the District. Different litho-units of Bundelkhand granite gneiss, metasedimentary, metabasic bands and enclaves in the Bundelkhand Granite.
6. PHYSIOGRAPHY OF THE DISTRICT
Physiographically the area is characterised by rugged and undulating topography with moderately high hills interspaced by stretches of alluvium. The maximum elevation of the hills in the area is 331 m. and the lowest point is 140 m.
Major drainage in the area is Ken River at the southern extremity of the area, flowing from west to east. The other major stream next to Ken is Kail Nadi at the north - western corner, of the area mapped and Lohruk nala at the south-eastern corner, flow from west to east. Smaller streams forming dendritic to sub-rectangular pattern drain the whole area all the stream courses appear to have been controlled by joints.
7. GEOLOGY AND MINERAL WEALTH
Geology:-
Geologically, Bundelkhand presents a mixture from different eras, from the earliest days of the formation of the earth, when its upper crust cooled and solidified, till recent times. From the earliest period, older than 2500 million years, are granite-like formations called gneiss and so-called Bundelkhand Granite. Much of the area of Datia, Jhansi, Lalitpur, TikamgarhChhatarpur, Panna and Sagar districts, and southern portions of Chitrakoot and Mahoba districts is granite country, marked by outcrops of great diversity in mineral composition and size, ranging from small patches to large hillocks. A striking feature of the granite country, which has impacted settlement patterns and agriculture, is the presence of long and narrow rocky ridges, known as quarts reefs and dolerite dykes. Often, these wall-like natural features intercept the course of streams, leading to formation of water bodies and enabling the creation of large artificial lakes. From later geological eras (570 to 900 million years ago), we get diamond fields in Panna, extensive limestone deposits in Damoh, Chhatarpur and Datia, Graniteic rocks in southern Lalitpur and sandstone deposits in Panna and Sagar. Massive sandstone and limestone cliffs are seen in the Vindhyan hills which girdle the granite country. The most recent geological deposits are alluvium, in the form of sand, silt or clay, brought down by north-flowing rivers. Massive blocks of medium to coarse-grained varieties of pink, red and grey granite are found in Jhansi, Lalitpur, Mahoba, Banda, Datia, Chhatarpur, Panna and Sagar districts. Multicolored and black granites are found in parts of Sagar and Panna. A variety called Jhansi Red, mined in Chhatarpur, is found in no other country. Another prized variety found in the district is called Fortune Red.
Granitic rock gneisses and migmatites of the Bundelkhand Granite Complex of Archaean age occur in northern half of the area. The major rocks type of this complex are a variety of medium to coarse grained granites some being porphyritic migmatite gneisses and locally the fine grained non porphyritic leuco-granites. The granite contains minor enclaves of phyllite, sericite quartz rock BHQ and metabasites. The granites are traversed by large number of NE-SW trending detached outcrops of massive quartz reef a few NW-SE trending dolerites dykes and minor veins of pegmatite and quartz. The overlying granitic rocks are the ENE-WSW trending sedimentary of the Bijawar Group in the central parts of the area.
Further these Bijawar groups of rocks are overlain by Vindhyan Super group which together with an ENE-WSW trending broad stretch of soil and alluvial cover occupy the southeastern of district. Overlying the Vindhyans and immediately underlying the Deccan Traps in the southwestern part of the area occur a group of rock types comprising of arenaceous limestone ,cherty limestone pellet limestone conglomerate grit and red clays represented Bakswaho formation and are correlated with Lametas of Western India.

8. CONCLUSION
After doing all exercise it can be say that Chhatarpur district have good mineral potential as well as variety of minerals. Geologically, Bundelkhand presents a mixture from different eras, from the earliest days of the formation of the earth, when its upper crust cooled and solidified, till recent times. From the earliest period, older than 2500 million years, are granite-like formations called gneiss and so-called Bundelkhand Granite.
