population. He told that water
level of our village is 300 fit and
at present water level 600 fit, he
demand a Tube well in Chiksi
villagers for water supply.
Mr. K. Alam,
Representative of
Banesti-I Mine said
that mine pit water is
available for animals&
villagers. Problem of
will be sort out by bore
well & if required new
bore well will be
constructed.
Proper
arrangement
will be done for
the use of pit
water like

3. Sh. LaxmiLal, R/O Village –
Chiksi:
They object over the deep
mining excavation because the
deeper a mine is the more the
ground water will sink to
lowest. The bore well water will
also sink inside and during
digging water flows
unnecessarily leading to
wastage of water. The deeper
excavation of mines has resulted
into dry bore wells in the
villages falling under the range
of 8-10 km area.
Representative of
Banesti-I Mine said
that due to the pit
water of our mine
water level is very good
in Banesti village &
due pit water ground
water is getting
recharged. He said that
in Chiksi village at
present water level is
150 mtr. (500 ft.) &
mining will be done up
to 46 mtr only so there
will be no any negative
impact on the water
table.
Mining will be
done according

the report presented by the
representatives of the mines is
wrong because the climate
assessment made for the
reporting is done according to
the weather beuro of
Dabokwhich is 90 km away from
there, having varying weather
conditions. Their agency has
repeatedly apprised about their
periodic testing and
examination for the air and
water quality. But they have not
clarified whether the
assessment was according to the
circumstances or not? They
have not provided the pollution
standards and factual
description important for the
public hearing. No table has
been provided along. They have
not given any information about
the flora and fauna of the
particular region.
They have not discussed
anything for the solution
regarding pollution control.
Their concern is confined to the
issues of their own mine. They
are not bothered with the
pollution created by other
mines. No detail has been
mentioned regarding the
pollution of the particular area.
They have stated that they are
increasing the production
efficiency of their mine. We are
arranging the public hearing for
them. We are refurbishing their
mine by increasing their
production efficiency. No
citation has been made
regarding their old production
representative said
that we have done
dense plantation of
about 14,000 trees to
minimize the air
pollution & water
scarcity.
He also said that the
machinery which we
are using is based on
new technologies &
during its operation
there will be no
pollution.
The mine
representative
acquainted with the
fact that only the
villages falling in the
range of 10 km area
are remarked for the
mining project.
(According to the
Government Policy).
The representative of
the mine agency
acquainted about the
testimonial we have
received from NABET,
which is accredited in

efficiency, mining and
commodity excavation. They
have not disclosed any detail
about their plan to extend or
increase their mine area. No
detail about the above
mentioned points have been
remarked in the report. The
details are must in the report as
in future such details will be
beneficial for them in every
aspect.
The details regarding the
plantation of the number of
plants vegetated, living plants,
plant species and plantation
area in the minefield are not
given.
Their need of water supply has
been mentioned but no
information about their water
resources already in use is
given. They have said there is
no river or lake in the range of 5
km. But according to me
whenever a mine is digged out,
the water seepage results into
sinking of the ground water.
They are disagreeing with the
mining excavation because of
the presence of wild animals
like owl, fox, flourishing

They object over the deep
mining excavation because the
deeper a mine is the more the
ground water will sink to

also sink inside and during
digging water flows
unnecessarily leading to
wastage of water. The deeper
excavation of mines has resulted

Their need of water supply has
been mentioned but no
information about their water
resources already in use is
given. They have said there is
no river or lake in the range of 5
km. But according to me
whenever a mine is digged out,
the water seepage results into
sinking of the ground water.

of 1.5 meters. It is one of the main ingredient of many Ayurveda preparation.
Leaves and roots of the plant are medicinal. Leaves contain an alkaloid vasicine,
which is effective against cough, chronic, bronchitis, asthama etc.
Adathoda vasica found in Buffer zone of project. It is an endangered species which
need to be conserved so plan for multiplication of the species is as follow.
It is proposed to take the following conservation measures in the buffer area of the
Mining Project.
1.Adathoda is an indigenous medicinal plant used in Siddha and Homoeopathy
medicines. Medicinal forestry should be encouraged with the help of forest
department and local participation to grow the important medicinal plant species.

2. Habitat restoration is required in key areas to increase the population.
3. The introduction of a public awareness program to
Educate the public about the Medicinal properties of plant.
Promote the conservation of the species.
Climate & Soil :
Though the crop grows in a variety of climatic and soil condition, alluvial soils are
best suited for raising crop.
Propagation:
Adathoda is propagated by tender stem cutting.Stem cutting of 15-20 cm long and
3-4 nodes are ideal for planting. It is better to root the cutting in nursery before
transplanting in the main field. Nursery preparation can be done in march –April,
for this, the tender stem cutting are planted in poly bags filled with farm yard
manure, top soil and sand in the ratio 1:1:1 cutting will root readily and will be
ready to transplant to main field after two months.
Planting:
Rooted cutting of adhathoda can be planted on mounds and ridges. Rooted cutting
are planted on the ridges with plant to plant spacing of 30 cm.
Manures &Fertilisers:
Apply organic manure in form of FYM
Area for cultivation of Adathoda is only decided after guidance of forest department
and local people. Cultivation will be done with the guidance of expert and cultivated
plants will be distributed to nearby villagers.

INTRODUCTION
Shatavari is an indigenous medicinal plant used in Siddha and Homoeopathy
medicines.
It is estimated that in India, more than 500 tonnes of shatavari roots are needed
every year for various medicinal preparations.
MEDICINAL PROPERTIES AND USES
• Shatavari roots are used mainly as galactagogue which stimulates the secretion of
breast milk.
• It is applied in improving the lost body weight and also known as an aphrodisiac.
• The root is useful in treating the ailments like dysentery, tuberculosis and
diabetes.
• Commonly, it supports to maintain the health by giving immunity to diseases.
• It is considered as very good energy provider to the weak body system
PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY
Soil
• Generally, the crop prefers lateritic, red loamy soils, with adequate drainage.
• Being a shallow rooted crop, it can be easily grown under such shallow and rocky.
•soils where the soil depth is hardly 20-30 cm.
Climate
• The crop survives under varied agro-climatic conditions ranging from temperature
to tropical hill regions.
Cultivation
Planting
• It is propagated by root suckers or seeds. For commercial cultivation, root suckers
are preferred over seeds.
• The soil is prepared well by digging up to 15 cm depth. The field is divided into
convenient sized plots and laid out into ridges at 60 cm apart.
• Well developed root suckers are planted on the ridges.
IRRIGATION AND INTERCULTURE
• The field is irrigated immediately after planting. It is continued at 4-6 days
interval until a month and thereafter at weekly interval.
50
• Frequent weeding is required during its early period of growth.
• Care should be taken to avoid any damage to growing shoots at the time of
weeding. Totally, about 6-8 hand weeding is needed to keep crop free of weeds.
• The crop being a climber requires support for its proper growth. For this
purpose,4-6 feet long stakes are used to support the general growth.
