INTRODUCTION The Central Region of Geological Survey of India was established on 1st August,1967 with the Circle Offices at Madhya Pradesh (including the Circle Office of the present State of Chhattisgarh) and Maharashtra having headquarters at Bhopal and Pune respectively. The circle offices were mainly involved with the systematic geological mapping and assessment of mineral resources. At theRegional Headquarter specialised divisions like Engineering Geology, Map compilation, Geophysical investigation, Chemical Laboratory and Drilling were established. Central Region covers geographical area of 0.751 million sq km in the states of Maharashtra (3,07,713 sq km), Madhya Pradesh (3,08,150 sq km) and Chhattisgarh (1,35,195 sq km). Over the years, the Central Region has expanded its activities and set up its offices at Raipur, Jabalpur, Bhopal, Pune with the Headquarters in Nagpur. The activity was further expanded to Photogeology & Remote Sensing, Regional Integrated Survey, Quaternary & Environmental Geology and the Geodata Division equipped with LAN and WAN connectivity. Geologically it represents: - Archaean Rocks, hosting a majority of mineral occurrences in Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra & Madhya Pradesh. - Proterozoic Rocks, including limestones and diamondiferous conglomerates of the Vindhyan in Madhya Pradesh. - Gondwana Sequence, a storehouse for coal-lignite and refractory clays. - Deccan Continental Flood Basalts: Late Cretaceous-Early Palaeocene: lava flows covering Peninsular shield in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra & Chhattisgarh and associated sedimentaries represented by Lameta and intertrappean beds. Geologically, the Central Region mainly comprises parts of the peninsula shield and coastal areas. 1.1 CHHATTISGARH Geologically, Chhattisgarh constitutes rock formations ranging in age from Archaean to Recent. East-West trending Central Indian Shear Zone (CISZ) separating the Northern Crustal Province (NCP) and the Southern Crustal Province (SCP) is an important and major tectonic feature of the Region. The oldest rocks in the NCP i.e. the granite gneisses and the enclaves of igneous and sedimentary rocks of Archaean age are confined to southern part of the Province forming the Bilaspur-Raigarh belt. Gneisses and granitoids exposed to the east of Mahanadi basin are designated as Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex. Though the younger sequences of Upper Carboniferous to Lower Cretaceous Gondwana rocks are well developed in the Mahanadi and South Rewa basins, north of Baikuntapar in Surguja area, these two basins merge together. Lameta Group of rocks are exposed in the Amarkantak plateau region below the Deccan Trap. Remnants of Deccan Trap occur in the plateaus in the western and northeastern parts of Bilaspur District and southeastern and eastern part of Surguja District. Laterite and bauxite pockets occur at Jamirapat and Mainpat in Surguja District and Phutka Pahar in Korba District. Quaternary alluvium is confined to major river valleys. Significantly the NCP is devoid of any volcano-sedimentary sequence and Proterozoic cover rocks, unlike the SCP. The SCP is an Archaean to Neoproterozoic assembly of lithotectonic packages comprising Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic Sukma, Bengpal, Bailadila and Sonakhan Groups, gneiss-granitoids and younger Meso- to Neoproterozoic cover rocks of Chhattisgarh, Indravati, and Pakhal Groups. Together they constitute the Bastar Craton. N-S trending Palaeoproterozoic volcanic rocks of Nandgaon Group extend westward in bordering Maharashtra. The Dongargarh granite and its equivalents in Madanbera and Kanker - Mainpur areas occupy major portion of South Central part of the state. Volcano sedimentary sequence of Khairagarh and Abujhmar Groups and sediments of Chilpi Group belonging to Palaeo-Mesoproterozoic unconformably overlie the older sequences and the granites in the Maikala Range and Abujhmar plateau region. The Mesoproterozoic Pakhal Supergroup of rocks occupy the Godavari valley region in the southwestern part bordering Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra. The Meso- to Neoproterozoic Chhattisgarh Group of Rocks occupy the central plains of Chhattisgarh region. The cover sediments of Indravati-Sabari-and Pairi Groups are equivalent of Indravati Group and occupy the Jagdalpur plateau. Rocks of kimberlite affinity, some of which are diamondiferous, intrude in to the Indravati and Khariar sediments and in the gneisses. Laterite and bauxite form cappings at number of places over these rocks in Keskal- Amabera areas. The state of Chhattisgarh is endowed with rich mineral wealth particularly the iron ore, coal, bauxite, limestone, tin and diamond. A wide range of mineral resources offering considerable opportunity for the entrepreneurs is found in the state. GSI is presently focusing its activities in the state for exploration of fertilizer minerals including rock phosphates.
