Investigation Study of Minerals – Non Renewable Energy Resources and Effects of Their Mining on Environmentand Indian Economy
Shalom Akhai, Yogyank Mishra
Abstract :
— In this present paper a case study has been discussed regarding the harmful effects of mining of minerals. In Mussoorie, it was observed that a place with viant flora and fauna was one of the main tourist attractions. It was also known as the queen of hills. But due to the initiation of lime stone quarrying, the hill station virtually lost its age-old wealth of trees, faunas, pastures, springs and animal husbandry. Although the situation is now slowly reversing with the ban on quarrying imposed by the Supreme Court. Before the case study an investigation has been done regarding minerals, the renewable energy resources and the process of getting those minerals i.e. mining. It has been discussed that mineral resources are non-renewable resources and almost all the countries in the world are quite dependent on them. Moreover, the process of mining is a job that puts not just the lives of the workers at risk but even disturbs the flora and fauna of that particular region. Conservation of minerals, its importance and the importance of minerals itself has also been highlighted. A mild touch of the different types of mining has been studied. A future without minerals can be considered to be very cruel but that is something, which is inevitable if we continue to exploit these mineral resources in such a way. Even though the mining sector of a country is considered to be the backbone of its economy but this does not change the fact that the mining sector is something that is very unsafe. The impact of mining is far from worse to the environment; the case of Mussoorie clearly says its story. So saying that mining is something that should be partially banned and good substitutes of these mineral resources should be used can conclude it.
