Summary 2 1.Preface On 15th January 2016, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India issued a notification under which in Para 7(iii) (a) and Annexure (x), purpose and structure of District Survey Report has been discussed. The District Survey Report (DSR) will be prepared in every district for each minor mineral. It will guide systematic and scientific utilization of natural resources, so that present and future generation may be benefitted at large. The purpose of District Survey Report (DSR) is “Identification of areas of aggradations or deposition where mining can be allowed; and identification of areas of erosion and proximity to infrastructural structures and installations where mining should be prohibited”. The District Survey report (DSR) will contain mainly data published and endorsed by various departments and websites about Geology of the area, Mineral Wealth details, Details of Lease and Mining activity in the district along with Revenue of Minerals. This report also contains details of Forest, Rivers, Soil, Agriculture, Road, Transportation and Climate etc. 2. INTRODUCTION- Lalitpur districts is one of the districts of Uttar Pradesh state of India. Lalitpur District is a part of Jhansi Division. Lalitpur is the main town and administrative headquarters.The geographical area of the district is 5039 Sq. Kms. and has a population of 977,447 as per the census 2001. Lalitpur District was formerly part of the state of Chanderi, founded in the 17th century by a Bundela Rajput who was descended from Rudra Pratap of Orchha. Chanderi, along with most of Bundelkhand, came under Maratha hegemony in the 18th century. Daulat Rao 3 Sindhia of neighboring Gwalior annexed Chanderi state in 1811. In 1844, the former state of Chanderi was ceded to the British, and became the Chanderi District of British India, with Lalitpur town as the district headquarters. The British lost the district in the Indian Rebellion of 1857, and it was not reconquered until late 1858. In 1861, the portion of the district west of the Betwa, including Chanderi, was returned to Gwalior, and the remainder was renamed Lalitpur District. Lalitpur District was made part of Jhansi District from 1891 to 1974. Carved out as a district in the year 1974 Lalitpur is really not only the heartland but also heartshaped district of Bundelkhand Region. It is joined to Jhansi District of Uttar Pradesh by a narrow corridor to the northeast, but is otherwise almost completely surrounded by Madhya Pradesh state; to the east lies Tikamgarh District, to the south Sagar District, and to the west Ashoknagar and Shivpuri districts. Lalitpur, Jalaun, and Jhansi districts form Jhansi Division. Jhansi Division is one of 17 divisions of Uttar Pradesh state in northern India. It includes Jhansi, Jalaun, and Lalitpur districts. The city of Jhansi is the administrative center. The division is part of the historic Bundelkhand region, which includes a portion of southern Uttar Pradesh and extends into neighbouring Madhya Pradesh state.Jhansi is one of oldest division of Indian Railways. district forms a portion of the hill country of Bundelkhand, sloping down from the outliers of the Vindhya Range on the south to the tributaries of the Yamuna River on the north. The extreme south is composed of parallel rows of long and narrow-ridged hills. Through the intervening valleys the rivers flow down over ledges of granite or quartz. North of the hilly region, the granite chains gradually turn into clusters of smaller hills. 4 3.

The average temperatures vary during the year by 17.7 °C. 9 TOPOGRAPHY The area is generally rocky. The highest ground is in the extreme south with scraps of the vindhyan plateau, running from the betwa in south-easterly direction and gradually breaking up into a confined mass of hills, parts of which approach a height of 650 m abobe mean sea level. The north of the scrap, undulating plain of black soil interrupted with scattered hills and scoured by numerous drainage channals, stretches north beyonds the town of lalitpur and gradually becomes more rocky. Low red hills of granitoid rock then appear with long ridges running from south- west to north- west. Most of the area is bieng drained by river jamni and its tributaries which form its eastern boundry, separating it from tikamgarh district. River betwa forms the western and northern boundry and drains the western part of the district.
