INTRODUCTION Kondagoan is newly form District and it is comes in existence on 01 January 2012. It is situated in south eastern part of the State of Chhattishgarh in Central India. The District is surrounded by District Dhamtari and kanker in north, District Narayanpur in west and District Bastar in south and in east and south east by Koraput district of neighbouring Odisha state. It falls in Survey of India, toposheet Nos. 65 E, F, I and J and bounded between 19º 11´ to 20º 13´ North latitude and 81º 17´ to 82º 04´ East longitudes. Kondagaon is the District Headquarter. Kondagaon District is divided into two Blocks namely Kondagaon and Keshkal. and five Tahsils namely Kondagaon, Makdi, Farasgaon, Keshkal, Bade- Rajpur. The district headquarter Kondagaon is situated on National Highway NH-43 connecting Raipur and Visakhapatnam of Andhra Pradesh via Koraput of Odisha State. Kondagaon District has an area of 7768.907 square kilometres. Apart from Jagdalpur, some of the major town/villages of the district are Farasgaon, Keshkal, Makdi, vishrampuri etc. District Kondagaon has population of 5,78,326 according to census 2011. Of the total population more than 70 per cent are tribal people like Gond Tribe, Maria, Muria, Dhruva, Bhatra, Halba Tribe, etc. District survey report has been updated as per the guidelines mentioned in appendix-10 of the notification No. S.O. 3611 (E) New Delhi, 25 July, 2018 of Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. This report has updated by the Regional head, DGM Jagdalpur as per instructions issued by the Director, Geology & Mining (C.G.), Raipur by its letter no. 1605-07/Khani-2/Rait (mool)/f.no.38/1996, dated 01/04/2019 5 2. OVERVIEW OF MINING ACTIVITY IN THE DISTRIT Mineral of economic importance found in Kondagoan district is mainly Granite, Flagstone and building materials like sand, murrum, ordinary stone and brick clay are also found in good quantity. In all, 02 mining lease of bauxite have been sanctioned. 01 Granite quarry lease has been sanctioned . The mining activity in the district is mainly concentrated in Keshkal, Kondagoan, and Farasgoan tehsil. 12 numbers of sand quarries have been leased out on the river bed of Narangi, Gadir, bhanwardih and Musardev at different villages for sand mining. Out of which only 05 lease have got the environment permission and 07 other locations of sand mines have been shortlisted which requires environment permission. Approximately 4.25 caror rupees royalty is earned from minor minerals and 6.63 lakh rupees royalty is earned from sand mines in 2018-19. 6 3. DETAILS OF ROYALTY / REVENUE RECEIVED IN LAST 3 YEARS 7 8 4. DETAIL OF PRODUCTION OF SAND OR BAJRI OR MINOR MINERALS IN LAST THREE YEARS 9 10 5. LIST OF SANCTIONED SAND QUARRIES 11 6. PROCESS OF DEPOSITION OF SEDIMENTS IN THE RIVERS OF THE DISTRICT Sedimentation in a river basin are the stage of river development (the infant, youth, mature or old stage), lithology and structures of the upstream region or provenance from where sediments eroded / migrated / travelled, geomorphology and gradient of provenance. Other external activities i.e. mining, industrialization and mega engineering projects such as Dam also affects the process of sedimentation. The thickness of the sand sequence is determined by the depth of the stream channel during flood stage and is related to the size of river itself. The major river of the district is Narangi. It originates in Ghats of Dandakaranya range, in the Kalahandi district of the state of Odisha, The River follows a westerly path and enters Jagadalpur in the state of Chhattisgarh. The river moves from here in a southern route, before eventually uniting with the Godavari. It is the largest river in the district. It is very shallow in depth but sometimes it creates havoc during rain. Other major rivers of the district are Markandi and Narangi. The most suitable place for accumulation of sand is the curve of meandering of river where the river current’s flow diminishes and centrifugal force creates conducive atmosphere for deposition of sediments. 12 7.

Most of the area of the district forms a part of Narangi river Basin. Narangi river and its tributaries constitute the surface drainage system in most of the area with a general gradient towards east direction, while Bhanwardih river constitute the drainage system in north western extent of the district with general gradient towards south. Kondagaon District is situated in south eastern part of the State of Chhattishgarh in Central India. The District is surrounded by District Dhamtari and Kanker in north, District Narayanpur in west and District Bastar in south and in east and south east by Koraput district of neighbouring Odisha state. It falls in Survey of India, toposheet Nos. 65 E, F, I and J and bounded between 18º 40´ to 19º 35´ North latitude and 81º 20´ to 82º 15´ East longitudes. The district headquarter Kondagaon is situated on National Highway NH-30(earlier known as NH-43) connecting Raipur and Visakhapatnam of Andhra Pradesh via Koraput of Odisha State. 15 16 17 10.

GEOLOGY AND MINERAL WEALTH:- GEOLOGY Rock formations ranging in age from Archaean to Cainozoic are exposed in the District. The oldest rocks in the area are represented by Bengpal Group of Archaean age and are exposed in north eastern, south eastern and western part of district. They also occur as remnant inliers in the Dongargarh granite. Bengpal group comprises various types of gneisses and schists, amphibolites, meta- basic, meta-ultramafic, quartzo- feldspathic granulite, charnockite and different varieties of quartzite like pyroxene quartzite, cherty quartzite, banded magnetite quartzite and grunerite magnetite quartzite. Bailadila Group of Paleo Proterozoic age exposed in the southern and western parts of District comprises of hornblende schist, amphibolite, ferruginous phyllite, banded haematite quartzite and banded haematite jasper. Dongargarh granite of Paleo Proterozoic age is exposed in the central part of the district running from north to south and varies in composition from biotite granite, hornblende-biotite granite, amphibole granite to leucogranite. The Bengpal and Abujhmar group of rocks and Dongargarh granite are profusely intruded by basic dykes and quartz/pegmatite/aplite reefs/veins.
