Ltd 56, Ideal villas, Kochpukur, Rajarhat Kolkata-700 156 West Bengal November, 2015 Geological Report on Limestone Exploration of Mudhvay Sub-block C, Lakhpat Taluka, Kachchh District, Gujarat Executive Summary Prepared for Commissioner of Geology and Mining, Gujarat Geovale Services Pvt. Ltd 56, Ideal Villas, Kochpukur, Rajarhat Kolkata - 700 156 West Bengal, India www.geovale.com E: [email protected] November, 2015 Executive Summary Mudhvay Sub-block C is part of the Mudhvay Block in the Lakhpat Taluka in the Kachchh District of Gujarat. It is a N-S elongated irregular polygonal block with an area of 2.591 km2 (251.9 Ha) having dimensions of approx. 2.4 km in length and 1.3 km in width. The Mudhvay Block has been part of regional exploration conducted by Commissioner of Geology and Mining (CGM) through a Rapid Reserve Assessment Survey (RRAS) in 2009. The Sub-block C was further explored in detail by Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC) in 2014-2015, as a part of a “Mudhvay Block (1277 Ha) Detailed Exploration Program”. Cement grade nummulitic limestone occurs in the Mudhvay Block i n t h e Eocene - Oligocene Fulra Formation comprising of mostly numulitic limestone and Oligocene - Miocene Maniyara Fort Formation comprising of shale, calcareous clay with thin limestone bands, which are part of the Tertiary Platformal sediments of Kachchh. In the Mudhvay Sub-block C, the formation exposed in the northern part is that of Maniyara Fort Formation, while Fulra Formation is exposed in a small patch in the south -western part of the area. Fulra Formation is however, intersected throughout the block in all the drillholes. Fulra Formation having thicknesses ranging from 14 m to 60 m, forms the main mineralised body in the s u b - block. The overburden in the area, belonging mainly to Maniara Fort Formation and top soil, ranges from 4 m in the south to approximately 46 m in the northern part of the block. The block has a relief of 15 m, with altitude ranging from 22 m to 37 m above the MSL. The topography is gently rolling and a thin 1 – 3 m veneer of red brown soil overlie the Maniyara Fort Formation in most part of the Sub-block C. The block is located about 6 kms from the Kori Creek, which forms an estuarine inlet to the Arabian Sea, further south. The 3 kms buffer zone of Narayan Sarovar Wildlife Sanctuary is 2 kms to the south of the block. GMDC organized the topographic survey using Total Station theodolites and DGPS surveys to determine the boundary of the block and classified the block area as Government and Santhani Land. About 1.413 km2 (141 Ha, ~ 57%) of the total area of Mudhvay Sub-block C is government land, and about 1.087 km2 (108 Ha, ~ 43%) remaining land is Santhani Land (land allocated to landless persons) for agriculture purposes. 34 diamond core drillholes, totaling 3083 m have been drilled within the Mudhvay Sub-block C in a 400m x 400 m grid for 137 Ha (55% area) and at 200 m x 200 m grid for 113 Ha (45% area). 911 half split core samples of 1 to 2 m length each were pulverized to 150 microns at site and sent to Inspectorate Griffith’s (IG) wet chemical laboratory at Gandhidham in Gujarat for assay. Element suite determined at IG's laboratory include SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, TiO2, CaO, MgO, P2O5, Na2O, K2O, Cl, So3, R2O3 and LoI along with specific gravity on Dried Air basis using IS standard procedures. Geovale Services finalized the Geological Report of the Block based on the data provided by the CGM and GMDC. It carried out the 3D Geological Resource modeling of the ore body, using GEOVIA SurpacTM software. The ore body modeling process involved developing a geological database from the drillhole database, which has been validated by classical statistics and geo- statistics. Surpac allows the data visualization by creation of sections along desired directions and defining ore-waste contact by manual on-screen digitization. The two stage solid modeling of the ore body by wire-framing the digitized cross sections and block modeling (50m x 50m x 10 m blocks) on the basis of geostatistically derived parameters allows estimation of 3D ore volume and block wise grades. Resources and grades have been derived using both Krigging and Inverse Distance Squared methods. Limestone of Fulra Formation is the main mineralised body considered for Geological Resource estimation. Though the specific gravity ranged from 2.2 to 2.6, a bulk density of 2.25 has been used as advised by the CGM, Gujarat for the tonnage determination of the limestone ore body. A cut off grade of 37% CaO and thickness of 1.5 m has been applied to determine the resource volume and grade for every Surpac block. In Mudhvay Sub-block-C, GMDC carried out General Exploration (G-2 Stage) exploration. The Geological Resource of limestone in the Block has been classified based on the Minerals (Evidence of Mineral Contents) Rules, 2015 notified by the Ministry of Mines. The total Geological Resource esatablished in Mudhvay Sub-block B is 325 Mt of Indicated Mineral Resources (UNFC – 1997, 332 category). The following table summarises the grade wise Indicated Geological Resource (UNFC 332) of Mundhvay Sub-block C.

The epicenter beingwithin 150 krn from Pakistan'sSE border, shocks were felt over a wide region in Pakistan, resulting in wide-spread damage to buildings and a life loss of around 15people in the southeastern Sindh province ofPakistan. Thispaperpresents results of a field visit to the Thar-Nagar Parkar region ofSE Pakistan, outliningfeatures related with liquefaction andgroundfailuresas a consequence of the Bhuj Earthquake. These includesand blows in the inter- dunal depressions and Zateral spreadingat the crests and margins of the stable dunes. It has been noticed that a 170 km long belt of about 15 km width at thesouthern fringes of the Thar desert adjacent to the Great Rann of Kuchchh suffered widespread liquefaction, that resulted in damage to mud houses and cane huts in several villages, including the Tobo village (southeast ofDiplo) where25 30 such houses were completely orpartially collapsed. Na liquefaction was noticed at Nagar Parkar town (with bedrock asfoundation) as well as in the northemparts of the Thar desert (probably due to low water

  • Identity, Strife, Community/Nation: a South Asian Perspective
    史資料ハブ／ＣＯＥ特別企画 連続セミナー Identity, Strife, Community/Nation: A South Asian Perspective Anil Sethi （本 COE フェロー） The above-mentioned title refers to a series of five public lectures delivered by me at the Hongo satellite of the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Tokyo as a C.O.E. Fel- low of the Centre for Documentation and Area-Transcultural Studies based at the same 1 University. Held in October and November 2003, the lectures were chiefly meant for doctoral candidates and other advanced students pursuing South Asian Studies and re- lated disciplines in the various universities of the Tokyo area. What follows is a note on 2 the series as a whole and a brief summary of each of the lectures. The lectures covered a fairly vast ground but in the interests of brevity I have had to condense and synthesize enormously. I can only hope this has not led to a sacrifice of nuance. The series as a whole All the five lectures were primarily concerned with the interrelated issues of commu- nalism, religious nationalisms, and religious identities in South Asia, the first two being 3 based on my doctoral research. The opening one dealt with pollution rituals and Hindu- Muslim relations in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Punjab while the second examined Sikh publicists and the strengthening of the Keshdhari identity during the same period. In this way, these talks sought to cover the three major religious communities of the province, my region of study. The third lecture analyzed issues thrown up by the Partition of India historiography, especially by some of the recent writings on the tragic division of 1947.

  • Working Paper Number 155 the Indian State in a Liberalising
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Research Papers in Economics QEH Working Paper Series – QEHWPS155 Page 1 Working Paper Number 155 The Indian state in a liberalising landscape Nikita Sud*1 There has been much discussion recently on the ‘great Indian land grab’, i.e., the acquisition of fertile land by the government, and the handing over of this to large-scale industry. What do these ongoing land transfers tell us about the nature of the Indian state? To engage with prevalent views about state withdrawal from the economic sphere, or its reconstitution as a regulatory entity, this paper builds a picture of the state in a liberalising landscape based on empirical evidence. It outlines the role of the state in Gujarat province, during a transfer of 30 square kilometres of forest and coastal land to a cement manufacturing and exporting operation ‘Karkhana Ltd’. The case of land liberalisation illustrated by the experience of Karkhana does not evince a state in withdrawal. Nor do we witness a regulatory state that watches a changing economy from the legal and coercive sidelines. As the normative legitimator of liberalisation, a buffer in the contentious politics of land, and as an institutional promoter of and manoeuvrer through the new land regime, India’s state is central to the liberalising landscape. October 2007 * Department of International Development, University of Oxford 1 Nikita Sud is Departmental Lecturer in Development Studies at the University of Oxford. This paper was presented in the panel ‘The changing nature of the Indian state’ at the conference of the British Association of South Asian Studies in Cambridge, March 2007.

  • History Kachchh Is an Ancient Land; Its Main History Is Historical Period
    History Kachchh is an Ancient land; its main history is historical period. It is known as Kachchh due to its Geographical Characteristics and due to its turtle-like shape. This name is in existence in ancient history. Millionths in his Bhashya Sanjivani on Amarkosh has referred to it as moistures land in lower allow or wasteland. This name is found in various water taken by foreign visitors about this region or in stone carvings, bronze carving, old writing or hand written manuscripts. Before rise at Christian era this region situated between Saurashtra and Sindh was described as Abhari, and this name is form in Mohabhaeor also. The Greek visitor and military captain also spoiled the original name of Abhir during second century B.C. and referred it to as Abiriya or Abhir up to third or fourth century A. C. and thereafter also both in names of Abhir and are used. Earlier the Abhir people settled here and hence the region was known as Abhir in earlier period. Because of unique geographical situation with water and wetland around it. The administrative background of Kachchh seems little confused. The Land is occupied by different people since Ancient period who came from north and east. During he known period of History, it has remained under control of various dynasties ruling over Sindh and Gujarat. It was also a part of Maurya Dynasty, There after; it was under control of Teshak, Kshatrap, Gupta, Haiych etc. Thereafter, the Maitrak, Gurjar, Chalukya, Chowda, Solanki, Kathi and other rulers of Gujarat ruled over it. Thus, Kachchh had very close relations with Gujarat and the stream of its history has offered on this region.

Those owning shipyards and the ships built in them are engaged in active campaigns of Islamic reform and proselytisation in the town that are intimately related to trade routes and their experiences overseas, especially in the ports of the Gulf States. Assuming that religious reform movements are defined by what they oppose as well as by what they represent the thesis presents an analysis of rhetorical, daily and occasionally violent opposition to Hindus and other Muslims in an ethnographic exploration of David Hume’s ‘flux and reflux’ hypothesis.
