ABSTRACT Gujarat Government has come up with new mining rules having auction policy which is fair, transparent, non-discriminatory and in line with the Supreme Court and high court orders for the allocation of natural resources. According to New rules of Gujarat Minor Mineral Concession rules 2017 the potential area of quarry lease shall be identified and demarcated using DGPS and shall have a topographic and geological map prepared using total station. Also as per part-A geological study report is required in which evidence of mineral resources shall have been established for the block to be auctioned. So this study is required for the auction purpose of a blacktrap block at village Sonpari. Exploration of the said project was done on October 2017 for the estimation of the reserves. After carrying out G2 stage (General Exploration) exploration a total 23, 62, 880 metric tons reserves of blacktrap has been estimated assuming total 20 mtr thickness of the deposit. The deposit of blacktrap is huge and as it is nearer to the proximity of city like Bhavnagar and Rajkot where transportation cost is less and demand is more so it is good block for auction. 3 | Page Vill: - Sonpari , Tal. – Palitana , Dist.: Bhavnagar . BLACK TRAP BLOCK – D AREA: - 04.16.00 hect. CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Bhavnagar district is one of the most developed districts of Saurashtra region of Gujarat State. Its district headquarter is located in Bhavnagar city. Bhavnagar was founded by Bhavsinhji Gohil (1703-64 AD) in 1723 AD near the Gulf of Khambhat, on a carefully chosen strategic location having potential of maritime trade. Bhavnagar district has the area of 9980.9 Sq km and is located in southern part of the Saurashtra Region of Gujarat State. It lies between north latitude 210 18’ and 22018’ and east longitudes 710 15’ and 720 18’. It falls in the Survey of India (SOI) degree sheets 41 O and 46 C. District Bhavnagar is bounded by Surendranagar and Ahmedabad districts of Gujarat in the north, Rajkot and Amreli districts of Gujarat in the west, Arabian Sea and part of Amreli district in the south and the Gulf of Cambay (Gulf of Kambhat) in the east. Bhavnagar District is divided into ten talukas: Bhavnagar, Sihor, Umarala, Gariyadhar, Palitana, Mahuva, Talaja, Ghogha, Jesar and Vallbhipur. [4] There are close to 800 villages in this district. The Minerals found in the district are Gravel, Ordinary sand, clay, Blacktrap, Lignite, Laterite, ,which are commonly used in the construction of residential buildings and industrial houses and business complexes or huge Shopping Centers and other infrastructure projects. Blacktrap has long been used as aggregate for construction of roads and building. Today, the demand for these materials continues to rise. Gujarat Government has come up with new mining rules having auction policy which is fair, transparent, non- discriminatory and in line with the Supreme Court and high court orders for the allocation of natural resources. According to New rules of Gujarat Minor Mineral Concession rules 2017 the potential area of quarry lease shall be identified and demarcated using DGPS and shall have a topographic and geological map prepared using total station. Also as per part-A geological study report is required in which evidence of mineral resources shall have been established for the block to be auctioned. So this study is required for the auction purpose of a blacktrap block at village Sonpari. 4 | Page Vill: - Sonpari , Tal. – Palitana , Dist.: Bhavnagar . BLACK TRAP BLOCK – D AREA: - 04.16.00 hect.

III. b) Mining if carried out The area under exploration is a virgin area. Previously no mining were carried out in this area. PRESENT WORK a) Objective of present work Present work includes topographical survey, DGPS survey and geological exploration in proposed block area to assess the blacktrap resource potentiality in the block for auction purpose. The exploration work was carried out in October, 2017. Topographic survey was carried out in 5m* 5m grid pattern. Boundary corners were determined using DGPS. Surface Samples was collected from Block area for laboratory analysis. Entire exploration work was completed in 1 week period. 8 | Page Vill: - Sonpari , Tal. – Palitana , Dist.: Bhavnagar .

    40 JOURNALO. P GEOLOGICAL. THAKUR AND SOCIETY OTHERS OF INDIA Vol.76, July 2010, pp.40-46 Petrographic Characterization of Khadsaliya Lignites, Bhavnagar District, Gujarat O. P. THAKUR, ALPANA SINGH and B. D. SINGH Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany, 53 University Road, Lucknow - 226 007 Email: [email protected] Abstract: The petrological studies on Khadsaliya lignites from Bhavnagar district have been carried out for their microconstituent’s characterization. Quantitative estimation of macerals reveal, due to high amount of macerals of huminite group, that this lignite deposits has formed from forest dominated vegetation in a fast subsiding basin, experiencing almost uniform environmental conditions, with slight intermittent fluctuations. The rank based on Ro max % values indicates that lignites are less mature and have not reached the sub-bituminous stage of coalification as those of the lignites from Panandhro (Gujarat) and Neyveli (Tamil Nadu) fields. High pyrite content in the Khadsaliya lignite makes it not much suitable for combustion purpose. Keywords: Maceral, Maturation, Palaeodeposition, Khadsaliya lignite, Cenozoic, Gujarat.

Prof. P.G.Dept. of History, Sardar Patel University, Vallabh Vidyanagar. Dist.:Anand INTRODUCTION Establishment of political agency was done at Rajkot in 1822 A.D. after getting rights of Peshwa and Gaekwad governments to British East India Company in 1820 A.D. [1] From this time, British East India Company Government took over management of Kathiawad. Before that, kings, Thakors and Talukadars of Kathiawad – Saurashtra and people under their reign became free from invasions of territory and mutual wars due to walker agreement in 1807 A.D. and they got promise f peaceful development for long time. [2] As a result, social disorder, mis-organization and restless wars ended. There was a dawn of happiness, peace and prosperity. [3] Now time was changed, works were done by swords and money before, now were to be done by pen and shrewdness. Time was came to do organizational and internal reformations leaving occupying of new regions. Direct reign of British was established after revolt of 187 A.D. Movement of social-religious reformations had also played an important role in impacting wide region of Kathiawad. Kathiawad peninsula is situated between 20.400 to 23.250 north latitude and 69.50 to 70.200 east longitudes. [4] Its length from Bhavnagar to Dwarka is 352 kms and breadth from Zinzuwada in North and Div Island in South is 264 kms.
