The District Survey Report (DSR) for sand had already been prepared and submitted to the Government. Considering the extent of deposit of stone in Pakur, it is very difficult to prepare DSR in a very short while with the available resources. The effort made by the DEIAA committee and with the constant support from Forest Department Pakur, Mining Office Pakur, Executive Engineers from road and Minor lrrigation to prepare this DSR in short while is commendable. This is an interim report prepared to meet the requirement of minor minerals for the state and same shall be updated with a time. It is clear from the report that most of the existing operative mines are having a lease period upto the year 2O2O and the livelihood of Pakur district is depend on mining and its related industries. Hence, it is recommended to initiate the process of auctioning in accordance with the existing rules/laws to meet the requirement of stone for the state and earn the revenue and support the livelihood of Pakur, even after the year 2020. I wish that DEIAA will make allthe efforts to complete the DSR in all respect in near future. With Warm Regards Dy.
