Expansion of this will have no objection from our end. I request you to create an employment opportunity to the youths and the farmers of this area. 3) Anil Patil: Resident of .

This Industry is very helpful to our farmers, it creates jobs and it also helps to get compost for agriculture land from raw materials.

4) Sidram Mina DDa Gadade: Resident of Kerur.

The price of fertilizer produced by this factory is increasing like chemical fertilizer day by day. Farmers depend on compost and ash from the factory, because the land around our factory is barren, it requires a lot of compost and ash. chemical fertilizers prices are highly increased and it is burden to farmers. Therefore, The Factory Administration should reduce the rate and facilitate the farmers. Deputy commissioner, either the state Government or the central Government shoutd reduce the GST, reducing the tax will help the industry to reduce the prices for farmers. To help the farmers, I would request to reduce the compost and ash prices and supply to the farmers at lower rates. s) Alaoou a Bhimoouda Patil: Resident of Kerur. since the establishment, the industry has provided all kinds of facilities to the farmers. Administration officers and working staff of this factory helped the farmers at the right time. Therefore we have no objection to expand the unit. 6) Siddu lytaoadum: Resident of Chandur. our farmers request is to establish soil resting centre in this factory area. This is our request as well as demand. 7) Babasaheb Kenchannavar: Resident of Kerur,

This industry does a lot of work in this area. The fact is that as the industry develops there will be more benefits to farmers and for employment in this area,

8) Pintoo B diqer: Resident of Exa mba.

Chidanand Kore Sugar Factory Governing Board headed by prabhakar (Anna) Kore, is doing well in public sector, in the matter of farmers bill, social sector and educational sector. By establishing this unit will help our youths to 9et an employment opportunity.

Zonal Senior Environmental Officer, Dharwad informed that M/s. Chidanand Basaprabhu Kore Sahakari Sakkare Karkhane Niyamit, Nanadi & Kerur -village, Chikkodi Taluk, have submitted proposal to the Government for expansion of 30 KLPD or 30000 liter ethanol per day to 110 KLPD or 110000 liter pr day distillery at this place. The proposal needs to be approved by the Government as it is a mandatory requirement to obtain environmental clearance certificate as per EIA notification dated 14-09-2006 of MOEF, GOI. As per Environment Impact Assessment notification, before issuing environment clearance certificate environmental public hearing needs to be conducted to collect public opinion and this is a part of EIA notification. For this reason we have arranged an environmental public hearing meeting to collect your opinion. The Board has given press Notification in the state I

level neVvs paper hke "Deccan Herald", "Vilay Karnataka" and Local ne!'/s Daper "Kannadamrna" and was published 30 days before about conducting this environmental public hearing at this project site. For the reference of the public and the villagers all the relevant documents, executive summaries were kept in different offices to collect more details. The main purpose of this environmental public hearing is to ensure that who have failed to submit the written opinions, shall also participate and express their opinion without any fear and hesitation because the opinion expressed by you is being video recorded. Keeping view of all these things, he informed the gathering to express views without any doubts. The environmental consultant informed about environmental pollution control measures proposed for the expansion project of this distillery. About eight members who attended the meeting expressed their views after understanding the presentation. They suggested that the ash which comes out of the industry must be converted into compost to distribute to the local farmers. By this industry farmers will be benefited and their children, unemployed youths can get job opportunities. Some of them said that compost, ash coming out of the industry must be provided in the form of fertilizer to the farmers at lower rate. They requested to have one soil testing center. Considering all the opinions expressed in the EPH the proceedings will be prepared and same will be submitted to the Government through Head office, Karnataka State Pollution Control Board along with video recordings. He expressed the gratitude to everyone who have participated in the meeting. Sri. Ashok Dudagunti, Additional Deputy Commissioner & Additional District Magistrate, Belagavi expressed that M/s.
