The main purpose of preparation of District Survey Report is to identify the mineral resources and develop the mining activities along with relevant current geological data of the District. The DEAC will scrutinize and screen scope of the category “B2” projects and the DEIAA will grant Environmental Clearance based on the recommendations of the DEAC for the Minor Minerals on the basis of District Survey Report. This District Mineral Survey Report is prepared on the basis of field work carried out in Dindigul district by the official from Geological Survey of India and Directorate of Geology and Mining, (Dindigul District), Govt. of Tamilnadu. The following District Survey Report (DSR) report prepared based on the guidelines by MOEF S.O. 3611(E). dt 25.July 2018. 1.0 INTRODUCTION: The district “Dindigul”, is blessed with the minor minerals such as Granite (Pink Granite/ Pink Granite Gneiss + Garnet, Pyroxenite/Pyroxene Granulite?), Blue metal (Charnockite), Brick Soil, Gravel, Kankar, Quartz and Feldspar and sand as well as major minerals like crystalline Limestone and Bauxite. A few copper, molybdenum and mica are also DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT - D I N D I G U L Page 1 occurred in some places. The need of the minor minerals particularly for infrastructural development of Individuals as well as for the Government is increasing day by day rapidly, accordingly the mining of minor minerals, is also developing vigorously. However, each entity looking for a good environment for their habitat. To assure the same a committee named DEIAA (District Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority) is formed, principally for a safe and careful minor mineral mining without leaving any major impact to the environment. With the objective to generate the “District Survey Report” for Dindigul District a fifteen days collaborative field work was carried out by SU: Tamil Nadu & Puducherry, Geological Survey of India and Dept. of Geology and Mining, Dindigul District to locate minor minerals, along with mining activities in the district. Fig.1.1 Dindigul District map There were 7 taluks in 2001 - Palani, Oddanchatram, Vedasandur, Natham, Dindigul, Kodaikanal and Nilakottai. Attur taluk was newly created from Dindigul taluk as per G.O.Ms. DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT - D I N D I G U L Page 2 No.637, dated 31.10.2007. Presently, there are 8 taluks in the district. There are 1 Corporation (Dindigul) and 2 Municipalities (Palani and Kodaikanal), 24 Town Panchayats and 7 Census Towns in the district. There are 14 Community Development Blocks and 362 Revenue Villages (330 inhabited) in Dindigul district. The following table shows the number of taluks with number of towns and Community Development Blocks with number of villages in Dindigul district. Table No.1 Details of the Taluk and Black in Dindigul District DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT - D I N D I G U L Page 3 2.0. OVERVIEW OF MINING ACTIVITY IN THE DISTRICT Industry based economic mineral deposit present in the district is Limestone, Quartz & Feldspar and Bauxite. However, the Limestone comes under major mineral category and it is getting mined mainly by the Chettinad Cement Corporation Ltd., in Vedasandur taluk and by some small concerns in Vedasandur and Natham taluks. The Bauxite deposit present in hill range of Kodaikanal, is unable to mine which is declared as wild life sanctuary. The minor minerals like Granite (Pink Granite/ Pink Granite Gneiss + Garnet, Pyroxenite/Pyroxene Granulite?) by private concerns and by TAMIN, Blue metal (Charnockite/ Hornblende Biotite Gneiss?), Brick Soil, Gravel, Kankar, Quartz and Feldspar are actively getting mining in the district by private concerns. The office of the Assistant Director, Department of Geology and Mining is functioning under the control of District Collector, Dindigul. The Assistant Director, Geology and Mining is assisting the District Collector in the Mineral Administration works.

The demand of water is increasing day by day. So, groundwater resources play a vital role for additional demand by farmers and Industries and domestic usage leads to rapid development of groundwater. About 63% of available groundwater resources are now being used. 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 total geographical area of the Dindigul distict is6, 26,664 hectares, which is about 4.82 percent of the total geographical area of Tamil Nadu state.Thedistrict, is well connected by roads and railway lines with other towns within and outside Tamil Nadu.This district comprising 359 villages has been divided into 7 Taluks, 14 Blocks and 40 Firkas.

Received: 10-6-2013 About 50% of the total irrigated area is dependent on groundwater. Groundwater is the major source of Accepted: 13-8-2013 drinking water in both urban and rural areas. Also, it is an important source of water for the agricultural and the industrial sectors. Groundwater quality is as important as the quantity. Poor quality of water adversely Key Words: affects the plant growth and human health. Hence, the demarcation of groundwater quality is of vital importance Groundwater to augment groundwater resources. The present study attempts to prepare the spatial variation map of the Spatial variation various groundwater quality parameters for Dindigul district, Tamil Nadu using Geographical Information Water quality System (GIS). GIS has been applied to visualize the spatial distribution of groundwater quality in the study Geographical information area. The major water quality parameters such as pH, total dissolved solids, total hardness, calcium, system (GIS) magnesium, fluoride, chloride and sulphates etc. were analysed. The final integrated map shows three Dindigul district priority classes such as high, moderate and poor groundwater quality zones of the study area and provides a guideline for the suitability of groundwater for drinking purposes.

The Land tax had been levied based on the type of the Land and the crop yield. At times, when the land tax was levied exorbitantly the scholars and the poets had played the advisory role by pointing out the defects to the King and had set the Government on the right path. It is pertinent to note that even in the Sangam age, the poet Piciranthaiyar had given advice to the Pandia King Arivudai Nambi about the taxation system in his poem in 'Pura Nanuru' Cut the paddy corn When it is ripe, And make it into balls of rice, And the yield of a small field, Barely a fraction of a cent, Will feed an elephant For many a day 2 But if the brute Should step into a field, And trampling eat, Even a hundred acres Will not serve, For the feet will spoil More than the mouth could eat.
