The lease area of 7.50 Acres or 3.00 ha. bearing Khata No. – 937/1, Plot N. – 2864 (P). The total lease area is Non forest land and of Pathar Chatan Kissam.The project site is located at a distance of 13 Km from the district head quarter Khurda and is at a distance of 45 Km from the state capital Bhubaneswar. The nearest railway station is at
Khurda Road located at a distance of 22 Km from the lease area. Lease area can be accessed from 13 Km from Khurda and is about 4.2 Km from Kaipadar village.The proposed ML area concession is for five years i.e. 2015-16 to 2019-20. The project for production of road metals (minor minerals) from Kaipadar new Building Stone Quarry (Kha) has been proposed for a production of 10400.00 cum within the five year period. 2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region.
Due to the increase urbanization now days, there is an increase in demand of minor minerals like sand and stone. Hence the execution of mining activities for extraction of minor minerals is in process. The main objective of the project is to fulfill the growing demand of the minor minerals in the field of development and construction. Road metal/Building stone is mainly used in construction or road and buildings. Further they are also required by railway projects for track laying and other construction activities. In current times, governments emphasizes on rapid improvement of basic infrastructure like roads, railways, dams and other social infrastructure - both in rural and urban areas , there is a constant requirement for ensuring regular supply of these minor minerals.
The increasing mining of minor mineral (Stone Quarry) has uplifted the economy of minor mineral producing localities which has resulted into up-liftment of the standard of living of the people in the adjoining area, besides contributing to the exchequer of the State and Central Government. The project also generates revenue and provides employment to the people of nearby locality.
2.4 Demand- Supply Gap.
Now a days Government has given a special emphasize on growth of infrastructure industrial development. Minor minerals like road metal/stone/ boulders/aggregates are one of the basic inputs in any kind of construction work. Since these are low value items and is voluminous - the users of this basic input- looks for local supply sources
efforts for increasing minor mineral production in the locality must be encouraged to ensure smooth supply of aggregates to match the pace of developmental activities in the area. Further, from the mineral conservation point of view, focus is to develop systematic mining for known small and medium size deposits.
2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous production.
There are no imports of such low value mineral. In fact since these minerals are low value - high volume items- efforts are made to source the material from the nearest point of supply. This is to avoid high cost of transportation and keeping the cost within reasonable limits.
2.6 Export Possibility.
The excavated materials will be marketed in the local market only. There is no export possibility for the stone excavated from the lease area.
2.7 Domestic/ export Markets.
The excavated materials will be marketed in the local market only. 2.8 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project.
Keeping in view of semi-mechanized method of mining, a total of 8 nos (Both skilled & non-skilled) of workers are to be employed in mine during the tenure of the plan period. Indirect employment through creation of shops, hired vehicles, etc also can be generated to full fill the day to day requirements of the mining personals.

Considering cost of production in all aspects and selling price of the produced building stone, the project is economically viable.
The project operation will provide livelihood to the poorest section of the society/ economically backward population and tribal’s in the area. It provides employment to the people residing in vicinity directly or indirectly. The mine management will also help nearby villages by providing aid to school, conducting medical and social awareness camps, helping in formation of self help groups, etc. Thus the project will bring about socio-economic improvement of the area and will prove beneficial to the area.
With progress in mine development activities, the per capita income of local people will increase which will reduce the public expenditure of the Govt. on social consumption need. Ultimately, it will add to the Govt. exchequers in the form of various taxes & returns. On the whole, overall development of the area will be there. However, the feasibility report indicates that the mining of road metal is technically and economically viable under foreseeable operating scenario. Hence, the minor mineral road metal as a raw material for domestic use, civil work etc from surface mining is economically viable.
