2.2 Brief description of nature of Project
The project has been proposed for mining of Mineral Masonary Stone by
adopting opencast Semi-Mechanized mining method.
2.3 Need for the Project and Its Importance to the Country or Region
Masonary stone is most commonly used as building material. Masonry
Stone finds extensive use in the construction and infrastructural works.
The basic objective of the project is the effective utilization of Material in
the country or region. Masonry Stone is the world's most commonly used
material in construction of road, railway track construction etc. Masonry
Stone will help in the economic growth of the country or region.
2.4 Demands-Supply Gap
The demand for Masonary Stone is ever growing with the growth of the
infrastructure sector in our country. The mineral is used in the
construction activities like buildings, road construction etc. The
requirement for the mineral is always high in the nearby cities and
towns. Therefore there is always a good demand of the mineral in the
domestic market.
2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production
Development needs will be met only through indigenously produced
Masonary stone against the high cost of imported material.
2.6 Export Possibility
There is no proposal to export the mineral. However, Masonary stone
produced from the mine will fulfill the needs of the region and surplus if

any, will be considered for export.
2.7 Domestic/ Export Markets
Domestic Market
Being a building stone, the principal use of this Masonary stone is in
construction of buildings and roads.
Export Market
The proposed mining activity is for indigenous consumption only for real
state, decorative accessories etc.
2.8 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect)
The proposed mining activity for the excavation of masonary stone will
provide both direct and indirect employment in form of labors for mining
process and through transport etc respectively.
