Subsidence Report Ukwa Mine INTRODUCTION:- Ukwa Mine Is Situated Near Ukwa Village of Baihar Tahsil of Balaghat District, Madhya Pradesh Subsidence Report Ukwa Mine INTRODUCTION:- Ukwa Mine is situated near Ukwa village of Baihar Tahsil of Balaghat District, Madhya Pradesh. and is about 45 Kms. North-East of Balaghat town. It is situated at 21° 58' North Latitude and 80° 28' East Longitude. Weather at this mine is tropical. Maximum temperature rises up to 40°C during April & May and lowers down up to 5° C during December & January. Monsoon sets during June to September with average rainfall of about 1600 mm. Mining was started at this mine in the Year 1904. Ukwa mine is having two leases namely a) 199.0673 Ha lease, b) 73.560 Ha. lease, The area of 73.567 ha is comprises of 3.986 ha forest land, that attracts the provision of Forest Act, 1980. GEOLOGY: The manganese horizon is associated with mica schist of Munsar formation. The ore strikes almost east-west & dip with low angle due north west. MINING: At the beginning, this mine was worked by opencast method, and extracted the ore out-cropped on the hilltop. Then the mine was converted into underground mine and worked by extending the inclines. At present this mine is worked by Flat Back Cut & Fill method of mining and voids created by extraction of ore are being filled by waste rock & sand. First level (1950' L) and Second level (1850' L) are connected by underground incline at an interval ranging between 200' to 600' on strike direction. As the dip of ore body is 20°-30°, the mining activity is carried by cut & fill method with driving the sub levels between the two levels. Owing to the nature & dip of the deposit, the mineral of main Ukwa lease (199.067 ha) extends beneath the area of 73.567 ha. Since the mineral is being worked by underground activities over decades in main lease area, these activities will also be extended for lower levels, beneath the area of 73.567 ha. Sinking of Vertical Shaft is under operation. ANALYSIS:- The litho units of Ukwa fall with zone of low intensity deformation. Mineral body inclines with low angle. Except bedding and low intensity folds, no other structural features such as large folds, faults or shear zones are noticed in area. In absence of causative factors such as faults / shears, the tendency of dis-logging of the strata is ruled out. Mineral body is extracted with pre-mining support and the excavated area is filled with sand. The pre-mining support transfers the dead load from hang wall to foot wall, thus preventing the caving of host rock throughout the stoping operation. A large column of sand that develops, after the complete extraction of mineral from stope block, finally support the host rock and prevent from inward caving. As stated in introduction, the Mining operations at Ukwa commenced a century ago. Till date MOIL does not have any record of subsidence during or after mining operation at exhausted levels. The surface area is surveyed and monitored by Chief ranking persons from survey department. According to pages dated by survey department mine has no record of any subsidence. CONCLUSION:- Low intensity deformation in area ruled out the presence of those structures which induce the strata movement. Hence the litho units are stable and offer better competency to Mining operations. Pre-mining support and thick column of sand prevent inward strata movement, recent time mine is free of subsidence history and MOIL do not apprehend any strata movement or subsidence in future also. .

The terra sigillata thus developed has been used in terracotta jewellery. The technology was successfully implemented by the self help groups and has been effectively commercialised under brand of Wardhani and Kalpak. Index Terms- terracotta jewellery, terra sigillata, clay, natural colour I. INTRODUCTION erra sigillata is a very smooth, lustrous coating of clay which resembles a glaze and is virtually waterproof. The name means T "sealed earth" and has been used to refer to the Classical Greek Attic figures painted in black and red on pottery (Fourts, R., & Belgium, B., 2004). It can be made from any kind of clay, which is found locally and mixed as a thin liquid slip. When it settles down, fine particles are separated out to be used as terra sigillata. To achieve a glow ranging from a smooth silky lustre to a high gloss, terra sigillata is polished with a soft cloth or brush on the surface of green (unbaked) ware.

However, in recent years, while declining HIV trends are evident at the national level as well as in most of the States, some low prevalence and vulnerable States have shown rising trends, warranting focused prevention efforts in specific areas. The National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) is strongly evidence-based and evidence-driven. Based on evidence from ‘Triangulation of Data’ from multiple sources and giving due weightage to vulnerability, the organizational structure of NACP has been decentralized to identified districts for priority attention. The programme has been successful in creating a robust database on HIV/AIDS through the HIV Sentinel Surveillance system, monthly programme reporting data and various research studies.

  • Executive Summary Report
    NVDA Executive Summary for EIA Study for Halon Irrigation Project EXECUTIVE SUMMARY REPORT 1. GENERAL Narmada Valley Development Authority (NVDA) proposes to develop the Halon Irrigation Project across river Halon (a tributary of river Burner which itself is a tributary of Narmada). The project is second in the series of dams to be constructed on the tributaries of river Narmada as proposed in the Narmada Master Plan. The project is located near village Karanjia, Tehsil Bicchiya, district Mandla, Madhya Pradesh. The dam site is located 6 km from Sijhora village situated at about 60 km from Mandla on the Mandla-Bilaspur Road. The nearest rail head is at a distance of 66 km at Mandla fort (Nainpur – Mandla narrow gauge). The nearest airport is at Jabalpur situated about 180 km from project site. The project location map is shown in Figure-1. 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project envisages construction of an earthen dam with a height of 31 m and total length of 993 m with a central spillway and a canal sluice on the left bank. The project envisages a submergence area of 1680.11 ha at Full Reservoir Level (FRL). The Gross Command Area (GCA) is 18,976 ha and Culturable Command Area (CCA) is 13,040 ha. The irrigated command area is of the order of 16,782 ha. The map showing submergence and the command area is given in Figure-2. 3. ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE STATUS The baseline status has been categorised into the following categories: • Physico-Chemical Aspects • Ecological Aspects • Socio-Economic Aspects The baseline status for the above referred categories has been described in the following sections.
