2.3. Need for the project and its importance to the country The economy of India is the eleventh largest in the world by nominal GDP and the third largest by purchasing power parity. The primary reason for the economic growth can be attributed to the growth in infrastructural facilities such as roads, highways & buildings. Infrastructural growth is directly proportional to the availability of raw materials such as soil, stone, sand etc. With the growing infrastructural requirement of the India, the demand of raw

Page2

materials has increased geometrically. The stone is required in various construction activities and will be sold to nearby markets to fulfill the requirement of local people.

2.4. Demand – Supply Gap The growth in India’s economy and population, coupled with urbanization, has resulted in an increasing demand for residential, commercial, industrial, public roads & highways as well as other physical infrastructure. Considering the demand of the mineral and its sufficient availability in this area, it is essential to have stone mine to sustain the demand and supply gap. 2.5. Imports vs. Indigenous Production There will be no imports for the proposed project. All the mined stone will be used in developing the infrastructure. 2.6. Export Possibility The present project does not seek the export possibility as it is a cheap mineral and the demand is high in the local area. 2.7. Domestic/Export Markets Excavated stone will be used for domestic market. 2.8. Employment generation (direct and indirect) due to the project. The proposed stone mining activity is envisaged to improve the socio-economic condition on a micro-economic scale by generating local employment of approximately 17 peoples directly and indirectly. 3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1. Type of project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any. The present project is an application for the environmental clearance and it is neither interlinked nor interdependent as the mined mineral will be sold to market directly. 3.2. Location (map showing general location, specific location, and project boundary & project site layout) with coordinates The mining lease area is located at Khata no.: 62, 52, 62, 48, 46Plot.no. 1(P), 2(P), 6(P), 8(P) & 13(P) respectively having an area of 1.19 Acres/0.48 Ha in Village: Daminbhita P.S: Mirzachauki. District: Sahibganj(Jharkhand).. No ecological sensitive zone that lies within 10 km radius of the proposed mining area. As per the EIA Notification 2006, the project will be considered as a Category ‘B2’ project.
