INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT 1.1 Identification of the project proponent M/s Prabhat Constructions has applied for quarrying lease over an area of 2.00 Ha. Survey No. 409/C (Part), At Village-Mokhada, Taluka - Mokhada, District – Palghar, Maharashtra. M/s Prabhat Construction has appointed M/s. Sadekar Enviro Engg. Pvt. Ltd. to carry out Prefeasibility Report for the said mining activity. The major highlights of the project are: ➢ The project comes under non agriculture land. ➢ The proposed quarrying activity is for blasting of basalt. ➢ No National Highway is present near the quarry site. ➢ No displacements of settlement are required. ➢ No National park or wildlife sanctuary lies within the buffer zone or nearby this region ➢ Located outside ESA villages as per the draft notification S.O 2435(E) dated 4th Sep 2015. 1.2 Crushing Activity No crusher installed in lease area. 1.3 Need of the Project The proposed mining production is covered under the Ministry of Environment & Forests Notification 2006. This report of Prefeasibility & Environmental Management Plan is given here as a part of the information to be furnished to the SEAC, Govt of Maharashtra for obtaining Environmental Clearance as per office Memorandum No. L-11000/47/2011/IA-II (M) dated 18.05.2012 .To meet the ever-increasing local demand for Crushed stone by the building industry and Construction Company the project proponent intends to produce the following quantities of crushed stones by Manual method of quarry activity. The year wise production and development details for the five years plan period are summarized in the table below. Sadekar Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd Page 5 M/s. Prabhat Construction Table No. 1: Production Plan for Five years Excavated Stone Material Year (Tonnes/A) I (2015-16) 40890 II (2016-17) 40890 III (2017-18) 40890 IV (2018-19) 40890 V (2019-20) 40890 Total 204450 1.4 Demand Supply Gap Since it is an allied industry of the construction sector, growth in construction sector may be considered as proxy for the growth in stone crushing sector, i.e. around 7-8%. Crushed stone has a very minor share among the exports of non-metallic mineral products of India. It is observed that total export volume of the crushed stone has been very low, whereas, Marble has the highest share and remained at the top. The market scope for crushed stone is found to be encouraging in local market with the increased demand from building industry & construction fields. There is also a sufficient demand from Govt. Contractors for laying of roads and construction of industries etc. The entry in the target market is easy and there is a narrow gap in the supply and demand, which is expected to grow in the coming years. The business opportunity to fill the demand and supply gap would be quite profitable. 1.5 Employment Generation The establishment of this project will improve the socio-economic status of the surrounding area by way of direct & indirect employment. The Employment opportunity will be created for skilled and especially unskilled people. 10 people are working at project site both skilled and unskilled workers are included. 2.

  • The Kisan Sabha and Adivasi Struggles in Thane District After 1947 Saqib Khan*
    RESEARCH ARTICLE The Kisan Sabha and Adivasi Struggles in Thane District after 1947 Saqib Khan* Abstract: This article traces the history of the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) in Thane district, Maharashtra, after 1947, that is, after the Warli Adivasi revolt of 1947. It is based on oral narratives by AIKS activists and leaders and on secondary sources. After the Warli revolt, the AIKS in Thane district mobilised the people around issues of land, forests, water, wages, and other livelihood issues. The article documents and analyses the nature of this mobilisation, the demands raised by the AIKS, and the extent to which these demands achieved success. Our evidence suggests mobilisation was successful because the people posed continuous challenges to multiple forms of exploitation by means of mobilisation by the AIKS on issues of Adivasi livelihood, and as a result of the initiation of welfare programmes through participation in local-level electoral politics. Keywords: Adivasi struggles, Thane district, All India Kisan Sabha, oral history, agrarian relations in Maharashtra, Scheduled Tribes, land rights, Forest Rights Act. Introduction Historically, during the period of British colonial rule as well as after India gained Independence, the Adivasi people of India have been victims of economic and social exploitation and marginalisation. A recent contribution to the literature has characterised the principal means of exploitation of the Adivasis as being alienation from land and the denial of access to common property resources by violent, coercive displacement, and a corresponding loss of livelihoods (Karat and Rawal 2014, Shah 2004). British colonialism effected and aggravated the alienation of the Adivasi people from land and forests in a number of ways (Desai 1979, Prasad 2006–7, Chattopadhyay 2012).

  • Nikhil Hooda (Roll No: 114050009)
    Design and Optimization of Branched Piped Water Networks Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy submitted by Nikhil Hooda (Roll no: 114050009) Under the Supervision of Prof. Om P. Damani Department of Computer Science and Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai 400076 2019 To my parents Surender and Rachna Hooda Abstract Government bodies responsible for drinking water distribution in developing countries face the challenging task of designing schemes that provide a quality of service that is adequate to meet the needs of the citizens at a cost below the strict government norms. Engineers at these government bodies must undertake the design process using tools that are not optimal and consider only pipe diameter selection, which is only one component of the entire scheme design. As such, much of the design process is undertaken in an ad-hoc and heuristic manner, relying on the experience and intuition of the engineers. The problem of the capital cost optimization of branched piped networks consists of choosing pipe diameters for each pipe in the network from a discrete set of commercially available pipe diameters. Each pipe in the network can consist of multiple segments of differing diameters. Water networks also consist of intermediate tanks also known as Elevated Storage Reservoirs (ESRs). These act as buffers between incoming flow from the primary source and the outgoing flow to the demand nodes. The network from the primary source to the ESRs is called the primary network, and the network from the ESRs to the demand nodes is called the secondary network.
