I come from part of the Kerala where the largest deposit of rare earths are. The mining in these areas are hindered by CPM and their trade unions. Now we know why.
Good to know that Kerala values it's people/coastlines/black sands. Karnataka/AP was looted by Reddy bros with the help of bjp. It polluted environment and corrupted politicians. "Operation lotus" was a cover-up to hide this massive loot of state resources.
Commies ullavara nammal nannavilla mashe.But sadly we have to blame ourselves. Looks like things will never change in our state as long as minority appeasement continues and hindus close thier eyes blindly.
Kerala has a very high population density evenly spread across the state, you absolute moron. In this video itself he's talking about why it's easier for China thanks to their massive availability of deserted land far away from people. Sanghis really have peanuts for brain.
@@shreevatsarao3260 not only sterlite. These buggers made the life hell out of Essar steel in CG. Now, lets see how Arcelor Mittal deal with them in Odisa.
It is a whole different issue. Mumbai-based Vedanta group was clearly violating environmental norms and the pollution emanating from the plant posed a health risk to the people residing nearby, And yes, unlike china which does it in deserted places, this plant was amidst residential and agricultural spaces. Supreme Court took cognizance of this fact and SC is not in the hands of the far left as you presume. Just because china laxes its laws to be the dominant producer, we don't actually need to follow that suit. Also, what is the reason to go to the extent of killing 9 people?. When you see hypocrisies, do see it on both sides.
People were catching tumor in the surrounding area. Why don't these factories operate in places where there is no population? They want a port nearby, regardless of how much damage to the people or to the environment. If you so fond of the factory, you have it in your own bloody City.
For such an ambitious project to succeed in India, it will need strong cooperation between the public and private sectors, needless to mention actual patriotism. There is always a very high risk of corruption.
No need for public sector. Get private sector involved and bring in the business friendly attitude with in Bureaucracy and kick Communists to the curb and we have a great economy.

Reform and opening up is the simplest step, which you will find one day😄
Nostalgia. As you took me back to my school days when I was trying to memorise the periodic table. But today's class was much much more than that. Thank you for a wonderful class Professor.
I am surprised SG knew Rare Earth as a rock band. 😂 Actually at one time, China had as much as 97% of world production but then they decided to hold Japan to ransom by increasing the cost 10 times (due to some Sino-Japanese confrontation) in a short time. So US, Germany, Japan etc all decided to restart their older NdFeB and SmCo production. There was a time when Germany and US were market leaders in the mining and production of NdFeB and SmCo magnets. They conceded their production to China as the mining and extraction is a very dirty and messy business. Indian Rare Earth aka IRE is a rather poorly managed PSU (it has a monopoly on all rare earth mining) and has been so for several decades. If we improve the efficacy of the management of IRE we could be partially sufficient in rare earths. Not 100% but maybe as much as 50%. India in fact at one time was shipping tonnes of mineral sands to China mostly for use as paint pigments. The mining belt from Karnataka to Ponda (Goa) was stripped bare of these oxide rich sands. The same sands could be processed using wet high intensity magnetic separators to extract fractional rare metals with a para-magnetic.
India has so much rare earth mineral reserves, try extracting them. 2 rupees art graduates from 2 rupees school claiming to be activists will be on the streets.
So nice to hear about someone in the field of journalism talking about rare-earths. My research is focused on rare-earth containing glasses and we are facing issues due to increasing costs of these elements over the past few years. Most of the rare-earths are shipped out of China.

India's population growth will stop in 2060 and will be reduced to 90 crore by the end of this century. We lost valuable time under Modi. we may end up competing with Africans instead of China for resources, jobs etc.
Rare earths are highly strong materials like Vibranium which was used to make Shield of CA by TS's(popularly known as IM) dad. Also, BP's suit is made up of the same. So it's quite easy to understand why they're critical. What's the clutter here!
@@sukhbirnaidu4360 That I'm afraid I can not tell you. Only one man knows about what it's made up of. James Potter. But sadly, he's no more. He died in 1981 under mysterious circumstances. It was him from whom Mr. India had borrowed this cloak. Later after finishing Mogambo off in 1987, he had returned this to Albus DumbleDore who eventually gifted the cloak to Mr. Potter's son, he who need not be named.
The successful WTO dispute against Chinese export controls and subsidies on rare earths by Japan and US was also a very critical piece of the puzzle! Great CTC 🔥
Cut the clutter keeps getting better and better with every episode. Thanks a lot SG! This episode is a prime example of the stellar work that you and your team do each day.
In India Geological Survey of India is alive to this issue since 2001 and started Geochemical Mapping and recruitment of geologist in massive way for this purpose . Wish SG had interviewed briefly someone from GSI or MOM or Niti Aayog. Yet he has done a wonderful video. One thing is sure if QUAD countries can join hands for this purpose they can definitely break the monopoly of China. America is very crucial as it has high precision metallurgical technology, Australia has exploration technology, India has resources and huge manpower for the industry and no one should have any doubts about Japanese competence !
We are thankful to Print for their efforts to bring this important issue in public . I hatts off to your effort and dedication to unearth the news and information which are too essential for our daily life.
Hi sir, Yet another great episode! i love how you have exposed a whole new point of interest to us, the common people. Never knew anything about rare-earths, let alone their importance and everything else that you pointed. My next point is not relevant this particular CTC, but sometimes my CTCs pile up and I watch them in one go. Anyway, I love a change that I have seen in CTCs recently, which I hope is deliberate and intentional. The said change is that now many CTC episodes do not solely focus on only one episode (just for the sake of it). Sometimes, you now cover 2 or even 3 issues in only one CTC, giving proper time to each. This is a good thing as so much happens in a day and we would like to hear your opinion or hear you declutter these issues for us. Regards,
Wow what an episode of CTC! Shekharji Thank you very much for covering topics like these which one can’t find anywhere in Indian media these days. What a fantastic & refreshing topic at the time when each media house is running behind politicos and shouting games in the name of election. This is why I love Print!. Happily completed my second contribution to the Print and look forward to many more such episodes 😊
Sir one of the main reason India is not able to mine rare-earth minerals is its radioactivity. Indian mineral is monazite and It contains thorium. Chinese deposits (bastenite)are not radioactive so they can mine easily. While India has sufficient deposit of Nd and Sm but Dy the most important element for commercial REPM is missing in our mineral. For strategic sector DRDO has been delivering REPM magnets .
