Sand is a mineral as defined under Section 3(e) of Mines and Minerals Development and Regulation Act, 1957 (MMDR Act). This act empowers government and state to make any laws to prevent illegal mining.
Sand mining is a practice that is used to extract sand, mainly through open pit. This demand is exalting at alarming rates a result of ever increasing building construction projects and other infrastructural development. In the view of high demand there is illegal means for sand extraction. Sand mining is also done on beach, inland dunes and dredged from ocean beds and river beds. Sand mining is done to extract minerals such as Rutile, Ilmenite and Zircon which contain useful elements Titanium and Zirconium. The main sources of sand are agricultural fields, riverbeds and floodplains, coastal and marine sand, lakes and reservoirs. These mineral occur with ordinary sand, which is dug up, the valuable minerals are separated in water by the virtue of different densities. In India estimate consumption of cement is 324 million tons, and for each tonne of cement, the building industry needs about 6 to 7 times more tons of sand and gravel.
The problem is serious in the case of river in the south western coast of India, especially in Kerala, where rivers are small with limited bed resources.
