Illegal Heavy Mineral 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Madras High Court has concluded that the stoppage of mining order issued by the Tamil Nadu government to VV Minerals is illegal and should immediately be reverted.

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.

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.”

Members of the Fishermen United Front, Tuticorin, have sought a CBI enquiry into the illegal beach sand mining to restrain the illegal activity. Members of the Fishermen United Front, Tuticorin, have sought a CBI enquiry into the illegal beach sand mining to restrain the illegal activity.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

VV Minerals India is one of the leading sand beach mining companies in the country. Recently, however, several allegations of illegal beach sand mining have surfaced against the company.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

VV Minerals India was recently falsely blamed of being at the helm of an alleged illegal beach mining scam.

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 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.

For over two decades, VV Minerals India, a beach sand mining company, has been operating under the leadership of its founder, S Vaikundarajan. Recently, Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) confirmed the lack in technology to separate thorium from monazite, earlier expressed by the company.

The recent allegations of illegal sand beach mining has caused quite a stir in the export industry. The state government has set up an investigation team to look into the matter. One company to find itself in the midst of the controversy is VV Minerals. Founded by S Vaikundarajan in the late 1980s, VV Mineral Mining is one of the largest mining companies in the country. It is also known to be the largest producer and exporter of Garnet and Ilmenite.

A new mining law by the Centre will contain new rules defining the limit of radioactive content beyond, which private companies will not be allowed to mine. The concession period and the area to be given out on lease will also be defined by the same, VV Mineral.

Viapar is a coastal village in Tamil Nadu’s Tuticorin district troubled by heavy beach erosion from illegal beach mining across the region. The corrosion issues have traveled to neighboring villages as well.

VV Minerals India is vastly known for extracting and exporting garnet and ilmenite to over 20 countries. The company had admitted that it could no separate thorium from monazite to the lack of technology. This was also confirmed later by Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB). Despite all these confirmations, former principal scientist at Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute in Kochi raised his concerns by stating, “Indian Rare Earth Ltd (IREL), Manavalakurichi, uses the sand from the same area and produces thorium, so what happens to the monazite in the VV mines?

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 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.

Over the last few years, VV Mineral Vaikundarajan have been under harsh criticism. From being accused of illegal sand mining to having powerful political influence, several allegations have surfaced without supporting evidence. VV Minerals India, however, has denied all the allegations against him and deemed them as a conspiracy by rival businesses to slander his company

He further states that the allegation is a plot by competitors to defame the company.

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.

VV Minerals is a 20-year old company and it has become this old by remaining within the legal purview of the mining industry. Never has the company been backed by any political agenda or support and never will it be.

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."

A raid was conducted by a team of special inspection officers at the mining site of VV Minerals in the Tuticorin district. However, the officials did not find any proof to hold VV Minerals, Vaikundarajan guilty of any crime. S. Vaikundarajan came out clean from this case after all the investigation were carried out.

However, the chairman of the over decade old sand mining company claims otherwise. He says that VV Mineral is just a forerunner the sand beach mining industry in Tamil Nadu not a monopoly.

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.

A CBI inquiry has been sought by members of Fishermen United Front into the illegal beach sand mining. Director Secretary of the Front, A. Subash Fernando quoted that the coastal population had little faith in the inquiry team set up by CM Jayalalitha.

In the recent wake of the alleged illegal beach sand mining scam in which VV Mineral has been falsely blamed is now also being asked to take responsibility for the beach sand erosion at Tuticorin. However, VV Minerals India and Vaikundarajan know better than to be flustered by this and cite natural causes for the apparent beach sand erosion at Tuticorin.

VV Minerals a Tamil Nadu based mining company has been accused for conducting illegal activities in their business. Still the company stands stern to fight back the allegations put on them and proudly states that they aren't GUILTY.

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 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.
