INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT The proposed M/s. Building Lime Stone Mine of Shree Lakhamanbhai Ukabhai Chudasama Area at near Village- Indroi , Applied Area- 00.80.94 Ha.,S. No. 113/ paiki 1/ paiki 3, Proposed Production- 21,500 TPA , Taluka- Patan-Veraval, Dist. Gir-Somnath,(Gujarat) has been granted to Shree Lakhamanbhai Ukabhai Chudasama, resident of At. Indroi , Tal. Patan- Veraval, Dist. Gir-Somnath .. 2.1. Copy of Mining Lease/ Letter of Intent. A letter of intent has been issued in Favor of Shree Lakhamanbhai Ukabhai Chudasama, for extraction of Building Lime Stone, Near Village- Indroi , Taluka- Patan-Veraval, Dist. Gir-Somnath,(Gujarat)., For The Period of years Vide Letter no. …………………………………………………….. Dated-…………….. 2.2 Nature of the project: Mining of Building Limestone is proposed in the applied area 00.80.94 Ha. (Private. Near land), Village- Indroi, Tal. Patan- Veraval, Dist. Gir- Somnath,(Gujarat). Mining will be carried out by Semi-Mechanized Opencast Method. Proposed Production 21,500 TPA. The Building Limestone Area near Patan- Veraval is a hub for building limestone Extraction. There are various projects for production of limestone blocks in the mine. The building limestone industry is a thriving industry because of prolific use of limestone in building industry. The project is aimed at producing building limestone slabs from the applied area. TABLE 2.1 SHOWS THE ML AREA ALONG WITH ITS DIMENSIONS. SI No. Near Village Area 1. Indroi 00.80.94 Hectare. 2.3 Need For The Project and its importance to the country: Building Limestone is an important mineral for the building Construction. It is naturally available in sample quantities and thus is important for construction of buildings due to its toughness. It is being used as bricks. 2.4. Demand - Supply gap The demand of building stone depends on the level of development and the rate of growth of the economy. However, there is a persistent demand for this commodity. 2.5. Imports vs. Indigenous Production There is no Import of building Limestone. All production of building Stone is earmarked for the indigenous demand/ local market. 2.6. Export Possibility There is no proposal to export the production. 2.7. Domestic/Export Markets The limestone (Building) will be only for domestic market/local Suppliers. 2.8. Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) Due to the Project The proposed Chanchakvad Lime stone (Building) making activity is envisaged to improve the socio-economic condition on a micro-economic scale by generating local employment 7 direct and 3 indirect.

  • Characteristics and Classification of Soils of Kathiawar Region of Gujarat As Influenced by Topography
    • Agropedology, 2001, 11, 83-90 Characteristics and classification of soils of Kathiawar region of Gujarat as influenced by topography J.P. Sharma, R.J. Lande/, A.R. Kalbande2 and C. Mandai National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning (leAR), Amravati Road, Nagpur 440010, India I Deceased 2Present Address: K-4, Bharatnagar, Amravati Road, Nagpur 440010, India Abstract Seven soil series belonging to Entisols (Lithic Ustorthents), Inceptisols (Typic, Lithic, Calcic, Calcic Udic and Vertic subgroups of Haplustepts) and Vertisols (Udic Calciusterts) occurring on residual hummocks and ridges, pediment, piedmont/valley, flood plain and coastal plain in Rajkot district of central Kathiawar region of Gujarat state were studied. The soils differed widely in their morphological, physical and chemical characteristics. Significant variations in soil depth, drainage, colour and texture were observed in relation to toposequence. Soils occurring on upper elements of topography are shallow to moderately deep, somewhat excessively to well drained, clay loam to clay in texture and reddish brown to dark brown in colour, whereas soils occurring on lower elements of topography are deep to very deep, moderately well drained to poorly drained, clay in texture and greyish brown to dark greyish brown in colour. Soils, in general, were low in organic carbon but high in clay content, cation exchange capacity 2 and base saturation, irrespective of their physiographic position. Ca + dominated the exchange complex. Soils occurring on lower element of topography were strongly calcareous and showed mottling. Additional key words: Landform - soil relationship, basaltic terrain. Introduction Topography is one of the important soil forming factors causing differences in soil characteristics to a great extent.
