Illegal Beach Mining PowerPoint PPT Presentations

Illegal beach mining and illegal heavy mineral mining are serious concerns for any developing nation. However, in order to curb the activities the government must crack down on actual defaulters and not industry forerunners such as VV Minerals India, says Vaikundarajan.

S Vaikundarajan and VV Minerals India a mining company that has been the forerunner of the industry in India since the 1980’s. However, both the company and the owner have been brought under the scanner after an alleged of claim of illegal beach mining.

VV Mineral Vaikundarajan has been accused of amassing assets and pecuniary resources between 2009 and 2011. The petition was dismissed citing that the petitioners failed to produce adequate documents. VV Mineral Vaikundarajan loyalists were not happy with the verdict and stood firm by their leader.

Viapar is a coastal village in the Tuticorin district of Tamil Nadu. Recently, the village has been troubled by heavy beach erosion. This erosion has been said to have occurred from illegal beach mining across the region. VV Minerals has been held responsible for this erosion without any evidence. It is alleged that the 20 year old company has encroached 30 hectares of government land and other mining lease violations.

In a boost of confidence to the mining baron, Vaikundarajan and his enterprise VV Minerals, the Indian Bureau of Mines has released an investigation report in favor of the company. VV Mineral Mining has been under a lot of scrutiny as allegations of illegal beach sand mining surfaced. An investigation team was set up by the state government to probe into the matter.

As per Mines and Minerals Act of 1957, the beaches of Orissa Sand Complex, Manavalakurichi in Kanyakumari District of Tamil Nadu, have been identified as the main monazite bearing area in India. Over 2.1 million tons of monazite is said to have been processed from the beaches of India since 2014. VV Minerals India has been largely accused of illegal mining in the area without any substantial evidence. The founder of the company, S Vaikundarajan, stated that the company has operated within the legal boundaries and has not engagement in illegal beach mining.

The allegation on VV Mineral about illegal beach mining of thorium is false. In all the enquiry conducted by CBI there was no evidence found about illegal heavy mineral mining. Even Supreme Court has cleared all the charges on VV Minerals and its owner Vaikundarajan.

The illegal beach mining scam has gravely affected VV Minerals India, the largest sand beach mining company in India. While the investigating committee is yet to reach its verdict, there has been no evidence to suggest any illegal activities on behalf of the company. VV Mineral Vaikundarajan believes that the new policy and government’s initiatives will bring hope to the mining industry.

VV Minerals India was recently falsely blamed of being at the helm of an alleged illegal beach mining scam. S Vaikundarajan is confident that this is a rivals attack on his success and forerunner position. However, the rude shock came with the claims of Vaikundarajan and politicians being in cohorts.

VV Minerals India’s involvement in the alleged illegal beach mining scam that has been revealed in south India is baseless. The mining company giant has been cleared by the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE). There is very little paperwork and actual proof to prove VV Mineral India’s involvement in the scam.

VV Minerals, a private mineral mining company that was dragged into the false case of illegal mining conducts its business with transparency and a lot of honesty. S. Vaikundarajan always believes in giving back to the society and the environment and that is the reason why he is so respected by the people in society.

The following presentation gives information about the various news articles circling around on the internet about the illegal beach mining in Tamil Nadu. Some of them are old and have wrong facts, while some are updated with the latest developments in the case and contain the real facts. The private heavy mineral mining company VV Minerals, India, owned by Mr. S. Vaikundarajan is given a green chit by the Central Government long ago, yet these old news articles make it all confusing. Hence, watch further to find out the truth behind the illegal mining scam of Tamil Nadu.

VV Mineral Vaikundarajan reveals that his competitors will go to any lengths to deface VV Minerals. He says first they got the collector of Tuticorin to claim an illegal beach sand mining scam. Then they alleged VV Minerals has connections with politicians and now they claim that the committee set up by the state government may be on its way to give us acquittal. However, none of it has any roots in reality.

It is alleged that since 2014, 2.1 million tons of monazite has disappeared from the shores of India. With allegations being pointed at VV Minerals India, the founder of the mining company, Vaikundarajan has come under scrutiny.

S. Vaikundarajan, founder and managing director of V. V. Minerals, has been under scrutiny since the start of the alleged case of illegal export of thorium-rich sand to foreign countries that V. V. Minerals has been facing. The office premises of S. Vaikundarajan at Keeraikaaranthattu near Thisaiyanvilai were raided by the police in the same context.

The central government has raised a red flag and suspects that illegal heavy minerals mining activities are being carried out on the beaches of the coastal Indian states. They have even raised a red flag on sands from Gujarat and Rajasthan being exported illegally. However, without a clear classification of heavy mineral nothing can be proved.

S Vaikundarajan, a sand mining baron, established VV Minerals India in 1989. For over two decades now, the company has been running under his tutelage and grown into a profitable organization. VV Minerals has bagged several national awards for its contribution to the export business. It is the first to export ilmenite and exports zircon, garnet and rutile.

The following presentation gives details about the truth behind illegal heavy mineral mining in Tamil Nadu which has been discussed highly in the last few years. VV Minerals, the leading heavy mineral mining company in Tamil Nadu has been wrongly accused in this scam. To find out more please watch the presentation below:

The allegations made on his company, V. V. Minerals, India's top exporter of industrial minerals garnet and ilmenite, have brought Vaikundarajan under high scrunity. VV Minerals has been issued a case of illegal mining, requiring the director of the company, Vaikundarajan, to be under the check of judiciaries all the time. VV Mineral Vaikundarajan, has been open to all the investigations even after being a discreet person himself.

The Tamilnadu Police carried out a raid at the Tirunelveli district factory and office premises of S Vaikundarajan, in association with the alleged charges of illegal beach mining of atomic particles like monosite and thorium. Vaikundarajan is the Managing Director and owner of VV Minerals.

The following presentation contains information about the report presented by the Department of Geology and Mining and the Indian Bureau of Mines which states that VV Mineral is proven innocent in the illegal mining case. In a news article published on Business Standard on October 28, 2013, the claims on the VV Minerals, were dismissed. It also provided information about their mining activities in India. They are the largest Ilmenite manufacturers and exporters in India. They are the first private ilmenite exporters of India. VV Minerals India has a huge market share in Europe, Middle East, East Asia, Australia and USA. They are based in Tamil Nadu and the company is owned by Mr. S. Vaikundarajan.

The transfer of Tuticorin collector Ashish Kumar is often rumored to have been a forced move by VV Mineral’s founder, Vaikundarajan. However, there is no evidence to suggest that the sand mining baron has anything to with it.

On August 6, 2013, Ashish Kumar, the then District Collector of Tuticuron, conducted a raid on VV Minerals and reported that VV Minerals has been involved in large scale illegal mining. The raid report says the company had encroached upon 30 hectares of government land and other mining lease violations, affecting the common man directly. VV Minerals' lease allowed mining only on four hectares.

The company which was accused of illegal sand mining gets a green chit from the government as no evidences of illegal beach mining were discovered. VV Minerals is owned by S. Vaikundarajan and has been a successful heavy mineral mining company for several years.

Whether or not the beach sand mining on the coasts of Tamil Nadu was illegal is a matter that can be settled only after a thorough legal inspection. However, Vaikundarajan believes that it is unfair to blame the mining companies alone, of the coastal erosion observed on the shores of Tamil Nadu.

The year 2013 was full of discoveries. A whole lot of illegal beach sand mining scams came to the surface and all involved by their own fault or others misunderstanding were brought under the governmental as well as the media radar. However, it is interesting to see that not Tamil Nadu but other states have also been suffering from alleged illegal beach sand mining.

The ongoing ban on heavy mineral mining in India is resulting in heavy losses for the economy and it is time that the state governments brought this to the notice of the central government which has issued this indefinite ban.

VV Minerals India is continually fighting the battle to prove their innocence. Other than stating the obvious reasons that acquit them from the alleged scam; Vaikundarajan and VV Minerals now need to be conservative about what is being said about them in the media by and large. Thus, they begin with bringing to notice the absolute absurdity of the scam amount which is pegged at Rs. 96,000 crore as of now.

Vaikundarajan is a man of honour, humility and few words. He has recently been brought under the scanner regarding an alleged illegal beach sand mining scam as told by a local collector of Tuticorin. Even though the collector was expressly moved, the allegations continue to haunt Vaikundarajan and his mining company VV Minerals India

VV Mineral India which is a heavy mineral mining company from Tamil Nadu that works with heavy minerals such as rutile, ilmenite, granite and zircon. They are one of the forerunners in the mining industry until their fame was smeared with alleged illegal heavy mineral mining activities. However, the owner and Chairman S Vaikundarajan is confident that they will come out clean.

A district collector from Tuticorin was fast to raise a voice against VV Minerals India when he was refused access to an area that was off limits to anyone who is not from the mining company. In addition to that the officer was also not carrying a valid search warrant to support his intentions. And now he claims that the company is indulging in illegal heavy mineral mining? Vaikundarajan says, “This is absurd.”

Vaikundarajan, Managing Director of VV Minerals India, is accused of using political connections over the matters concerning illegal mining activities. None of these allegations are supported by strong evidence. The company has assured to have carried all mining activities with legal boundaries.

The allegations were further aggravated when V Sundaram, the first district collector of Tirunelveli, sent a letter to the Chief Secretary of Tamil Nadu. The letter targeted VV Mineral and accused it of amassing several crore rupees through illegal sand beach mining. The director of VV Mineral Mining, V Subramanian, dismissed all the allegations as a conspiracy theory against the company. “Sundaram is passing this as a cruel joke. He is on the payroll of our business rival... Our hands are clear. We will come out clear from these allegations. Our records are straight,” Ravindram Duraiswami, advocate for VV Mineral told NDTV.

In Tamil Nadu’s Tuticorin district, Viapar is a coastal village haunted by heavy beach erosion. The erosion issues have transpired to neighboring villages as well. The reason for this issue has been alleged to be the illegal beach mining across the region.

World Nuclear Association (WNA), a global body of nuclear industry, reported that India hosts up to 3,00,000 tonnes of Thorium deposit. Unfortunately, the beach minerals in India have seen a significant decline in the last few years. Going by the reports, close to 2,00,000 tonnes of Thorium Oxide stands missing in India. Additionally, monazite quantity along the Indian coastline has seen a decrease by more than 2.1 million tonnes. It is a known fact that VV Minerals India is one of the largest producer of Garnet an Ilmenite. When the reports of missing Thorium Oxide were circulated, naturally, fingers were pointed at one of the biggest exporters in India. The company finds itself surrounded by allegations concerning illegal beach sand mining as stakeholders scrutinize a possible scam.

S Vaikundarajan rubbishes all allegations made against him and his company VV Mineral which deals with heavy mineral mining and export. This comes on the heels of the alleged accusations raised by a local collector regarding illegal sand beach mining by the heavy mineral giant.

VV Minerals has been in the limelight for all the wrong reasons. The beach mining company was founded by Vaikundarajan in late 1980s and has won several national awards for its contribution to the export business. However, following several allegations of illegal mining, a ban was imposed and a committee was set up for investigation.

Following the illegal beach mining allegations, the state government had set up a special investigation team to look into the matter. However, it has been observed that the coastal population has shown little faith in the inquiry team. The members of Fishermen United Front have been seeking a CBI inquiry.

As per some reports, the thorium deposit on the coasts of Tamil Nadu and Kerala have seen depletion over the last few years. The two states are well-known for being world’s largest reserves of Thorium. The reason for this depletion has been cited as one of the biggest illegal beach mining scam by some companies. However, evidence confirming the same are missing from the scene.

VV Minerals India has made a name for itself in the sand mining industry. It has won several national awards for its contribution to the export business. It is also the largest manufacturer and exporter of Garnet and Ilmenite in India. The company was established by VV mineral Vaikundarajan in the late 1980s and has grown under his tutelage. However, the recent scam surrounding illegal beach sand mining has put the company’s reputation at stake.

A scam surrounding illegal beach mining activity has recently come to light. Being the largest producer of garnet and ilmenite, VV Mineral Mining has by default found itself in the midst of this controversy. VV Mineral Vaikundarajan, founder, said in an interview, “The mineral rich sand is getting washed away from the Indian coastline in the absence of mining, and as a result, Sri Lanka, located further down, is reaping rich benefits at the cost of Indian industry.” The rising water-level due to global warming is already causing a lot of problems all over the world, and with the water moving in on the shores, India might be losing a lot of mineral reserve. If action is delayed, India will lose its Thorium-rich status.

The world’s largest reserve of Thorium can be found on the coasts of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. If the current reports are anything to go by, the Thorium deposits on Indian shores have seen a considerable decline. While the reason could be erosion, illegal export of minerals has been cited as the major problem behind this depletion. For a long time, VV Minerals has been the highest stakeholder of the mining business in these areas. While there is no evidence to justify illegal actions on behalf of the company, the scam has already done a considerable amount of damage to its reputation.

Viapar is a coastal village in Tamil Nadu's Tuticorin district where mineral mining on beaches is practised with government permission. On August 6, District Collector Ashish Kumar had raided the premises of VV Minerals, but it turned out that he had connections with its rivals. As soon as the rumours were confirmed, Mr Kumar was taken off the case and transferred. VV Minerals claimed that the "charges made by the former District Collector are baseless, motivated and vague."
