Agriculture Land), Near Village – Hudo Ki Dhani, Tehsil- Baytoo & District –Barmer, Rajasthan. Mining will be carried out by semi - mechanized opencast method. Loading of mineral is being done with the help of Trucks Through road transportation. Proposed production is 3484 TPA of Gypsum. 2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region: The basic objective of the project is to effective utilization of mineral in the country or region. Gypsum is the world's most commonly used in, flooring, road construction, tiles, cement industries as a binding material and the gypsum is also using for manufacturing of plaster of paris (P .O.P) for interior decorative work. Farmers use gypsum powder as a direct fertilizer for reconditioning of alkali soil for reducing the alkalinity and improving crop productivity. 2.4 Demands-supply gap: There is large demand of Gypsum, flooring, road construction, tiles, building cement industries as a binding material and the gypsum is also using for manufacturing of plaster of paris (P .O.P) for interior decorative work. Farmers use gypsum powder as a direct fertilizer for recondition of alkali soil for reducing the alkalinity and improving crop productivity. 2.5 Imports vs. indigenous production There will be no import for the project. There will be indigenous inputs in the entire mining activity. 2.6 Export possibility It is mineral to be procured from local market. No export is feasible. The mineral will be used in flooring, road construction, building cement industries as a binding material and the gypsum is also using for manufacturing of plaster of paris (P .O.P) for interior decorative work. Farmers use gypsum powder as a direct fertilizer for recondition of alkali soil for reducing the alkalinity and improving crop productivity. 2.7 Domestic/export markets There is demand of Gypsum for flooring, cement industries as a binding material and the gypsum is also using for manufacturing of plaster of paris (P .O.P) for interior decorative work. Gypsum powder is used by farmers as a direct fertilizer for reconditioning of alkali soil for reducing the alkalinity and improving crop productivity. 2.8 Employment generation (direct or indirect due to the project) 5 people are employed. Most of the people are employs from nearby villages. 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Type of project including interlinked and interdependent projects: The project is mining unit of Gypsum in the permit area of 0.5278 hectare (Pvt.

Agriculture Land) Google images of the Permit lease Area TOPO-SHEET NO. WITH LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE The Permit area forms a part of Survey of India Topo-sheet no. 40O/9 & 40N/12 The Permit area is situated between Latitudes 25°57'10.60"N To 25°57'13.90"N & Longitudes 71° 36'28.90"E To 71° 36'33.10"E The Permit area is about 3.0 km away from Hudo Ki Dhani Village in WNW direction. District Headquarter Barmer is about 29 km in SSW direction from the Permit area. The highest and lowest elevation of the mining area is – S. No. Particulars Elevation (mRL) 1. Highest 102 2. Lowest 101 3.3 Details of Alternate Site Considered and the Basis of Selecting the Proposed Site, Particularly the Environmental Considerations Gone Into should be Highlighted: Mining is site-specific project hence no alternate site is considered. 3.4 Size/Magnitude of Operation It is proposed to produce 3484 TPA of Gypsum from the Permit area of 0.5278 hectare by open cast semi - mechanized method of mining. 3.5 Project description with process details: It is a mining project of Gypsum from the Permit area of 0.5278 hectare, situated at near village – Hudo Ki Dhani, Tehsil- Baytoo & District – Barmer, Rajasthan. Proposed production is 3484 TPA of Gypsum. The mineral produced here is used in, building, domestic construction, cement industries as a binding material and the gypsum is also using for manufacturing of plaster of paris (P .O.P) for interior decorative work. Gypsum powder is used by farmers as a direct fertilizer for reconditioning of alkali soil for reducing the alkalinity and improving crop productivity. The method of mining is opencast Semi-mechanized method. Mining Method:- The mineral Gypsum is overlain by private agriculture land so for the exploitation of mineral there is requirement of removal of the over burden and stack soil cover separately at the appropriate location. Since the deposit occurs at a depth of 1.0m and the average thickness 0.75 mt and sufficient to mineable. Semi mechanized open cast mining is the suitable method for removal of Gypsum. The Removal of Gypsum will be carried out as per requirement. The overburden and mineral will be excavated with the help of excavator. Overburden will be removed and transportation of Gypsum from permit area pit to tractors and Trucks. The overburden is unconsolidated and alluvium sand. The mineralized bed is massive and homogeneous easily extractable with help of excavator. In view the above drilling and blasting of rock would not be required. Machineries for removal of Gypsum will arranged on hire basis by applicant. Detail of production and dispatch of gypsum:- It is not huge practice and removal of gypsum will be done only up to 01 mt depth from surface. Gypsum is surface deposit and excavation will be done as per demand. As per demand mineral will be mined out and dispatched directly to user industries. Drilling:- In gypsum mining no drilling is required. Blasting:- In Gypsum mining blasting is not required.
