Shankar Awasthi vide Order no. 2414/Khanij/60/U.P./ dated 25/06/2016 from the
date of Agreement.
(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country:
With respect to the importance of the project to the nation, it can be well said that in a
developing nation like India, cement is essential for infrastructural development.
Thus, keeping in mind this requirement, mining of Stone boulder is essential for the
nation`s growth.
Shri Ravi Shankar Awasthi has proposed stone Quarry project in order to meet the
requirement of Metal Stone for the construction railway track and building
construction projects of nearby district.
(iv) Demand supply gap:
Shri Ravi Shankar Awasthi has proposed Stone quarry will meet the
requirement/demand of Stone boulder for the construction of railway track. and
building construction projects of nearby district.
(v) Imports vs. Indigenous production:
As the stone availability from indigenous sources, the import of the same is not
required.

in abundance.
(vii) Domestic / Export Markets:
These Metal Stone boulders have only domestic /govt. department market as such will
be consumed accordingly.
(viii) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project:
Direct and indirect employment will be generated due to the project. Unskilled / semi
