2. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

I. Identification of project and project proponent. In case of Mining project, a copy of mining lease/ letter of intent should be given. Granite Building Stone Quarry is located at Survey No 25/1A in Nediyanga Village, Thaliparamba Taluka, Kannur District, Karnataka over an extent of 1.13Ha. (2.80 Acres). Letter of Intent (LOI) for said Granite Building Stone of quarry Saneesh Kodikkandy is issued vide Govt of Kerala Letter No 11725/M3/2016 dated 03.6.2016. A copy of the Letter is enclosed as Annexure –1. The location of the quarry is shown on the Key plan / Location plan enclosed vide Plate No – 1.

The approved lease sketch is enclosed vide Plate No – 2 & 2A.

Name & address of lessee : Saneesh Kodikkandy & Nediyanga Village Registered Office Kuttiatoor P.O Thaliparamba Taluk, Kannur District., Kerala, India Ph No. : 09947232948 II. Brief description of nature of the project The ‘Granite Building Stone Quarry’ of Saneesh Kodikkandy, over an extent of 1.13Ha is a granite building stone mining project. The granite building stone is the basic rock in this area to be excavated by quarrying.

This Granite Building Stone quarry is proposed to be operated by Opencast Semi- mechanized quarrying method. The mechanized operation of quarry shall use excavators, tippers, rock breakers, Jack hammer drilling and blasting. The excavated material shall be crushed in the crushers located outside the quarry lease area.

The maximum production capacity proposed in this area is 48123 tonnes per annum building stone of size -150mm. The quarrying operation shall provide 30 direct & equal number of indirect employment to local people.

III. Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region. The basic objective of the project is to have effective utilization of granite stone as a building material in this region and state. The spur in infrastructure development and construction industry has enhanced the demand of granite building stone in last 10 - 15 years.

Mainly infrastructure projects – like roads, highways, railways, bridges, buildings, township, etc., have raised the demand of building material. Building stone quarry not only provides the building material but also employment and economic growth of the region that ultimately enhance the socio-economic status of the people of the region and the state. The mining activities shall provide socio-economic benefits to the local population with direct & indirect employment opportunities. The project also contributes to the regional and financial benefits in the form of Royalty, Cess, Taxes, DMF etc.

IV. Demand-Supply Gap. Granite Building stone is an important component of the construction activities for infrastructure development. The demand for granite building stone is increasing along with the increase in infrastructure and construction activities in Kerala. This quarry can produce max 48123 tonnes of building stone annually and the demand of building stone by various industries can be partly fulfilled by this project. During last four years there is a sudden increase in the Real estate activities which has further enhanced the demand for building stone, hence, there is heavy requirement of granite building stone to meet the demand supply chain.

V. Imports Vs Indigenous production The requirements of granite building stone in infrastructure industry is huge where as the prices of granite are relatively low. The import or export of the same is not feasible due to heavy transportation cost. The granite building stone of size -150mm shall be transported / sold to the crusher outside the quarry lease, where it shall be sized and sold to the local market for infrastructure development.

..4

VI. Export possibility. The price of the granite is very low and the transportation cost is very high. Hence there are no export possibilities of the same.

VII. Domestic/Export markets. The granite building stone of size -150mm shall be transported / sold to the crusher outside the quarry lease, where it shall be sized and sold to the local market for infrastructure development, real estate builders, contractors, etc. and to the nearby vendors for government infrastructure projects. It is not viable to export this material. However, there is huge demand for the granite building stone in the domestic market.

VIII.Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project.

As per the requirement of Mines Act, Mines manager, Mines Foreman, Mine mates, Blaster, shall be appointed to supervise the quarrying operations. The list of the staff and workmen those shall be employed in the quarry is given below.

Assessment of Infrastructure demand (physical & social): All the manpower for the project shall be employed from the local area. Thus, there shall not be influx of people into the region; therefore, no increase in the population is envisaged during the period of the operations.

The operations are also small scale. Hence, infrastructure demand both in the form of physical and social infrastructure, in terms of physical infrastructure will not be very demanding. However, the project would raise the economic status of the people in the region thus the social infrastructure like education, health and hygiene, sports, etc. would be quite demanding. The company thus commits to support the local community in the field of Health & Hygiene, Basic education, Education of girl child, Sports, renewable energy etc. thereby strengthening the social infrastructure of the region.

6. PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE (i) Industrial Area (Processing Area): No Crushing or screening or processing is planned within the quarry lease area. The entire product from the mine will be transported to the Crushing & Screening plant located outside the lease area. Existing road shall be strengthened & made use for the transportation. As the mining equipment are all diesel powered there is no need for external power. The infrastructure facilities like Quarry office, site services, First Aid room, Rest shelter, and other statutory facilities, etc., shall be located in the close proximity of the quarry lease area.

The man power requirement shall be employed from local area, no additional infrastructure is required.

(ii) Residential Area (Non Processing Area): No additional residential area is required as the manpower for this project shall be employed from the nearby villages.

(iii) Green Belt:

About 1500 plants shall be planted in green belt area (0.33Ha) and another 500 sapling shall be planted all along the haulage road.

(iv) Social Infrastructure:

The project shall generated 30 direct and 30 indirect employment to the local people. Hence, the activity will contribute to the improvement of income status of the local people. The quarry project will also improve infrastructure facilities, eventually leading to the overall development of the area, resulting in the improvement of standard of life of local population.

The Project proponent undertakes to spend Rs 7 to 8 Lakhs per Annum, to take up CSR works in the surrounding villages in the sector of Healthcare, Sanitation, Education of Girl child, Sports, renewable energy etc.
