Abstract: Numerous researches have determined that climate change and sustainability are on the top of the agenda for global industries. With the climate change risk, it becomes more significant for cement industry which is third-largest source of anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide. In the last five years after Paris agreement 2015, ESG reporting and sustainability has gained attention by the investors and regulators for making business decisions and policy formulation. Now sustainability is not limited to pollution criteria rather has been considered as global risk for temperature rise which has to be maintained below two degree Celsius to avoid major catastrophes like water scarcity, disruption of supply chain, adverse health impacts etc. Here the study has been done on Indian cement industries to analyse the sustainability reporting and coverage of Environment Social and Governance indicators and the disclosure practices. It has been observed that companies have started disclosures on ESG but still the level of disclosure is not that extensive to understand the impact and response towards the climate change, which has been a key focus are for the business world, regulatory bodies, investors and other stakeholders.

Abstract: The project area lies in the Plandri district Sudhnoti of Jammu Kashmir. The area lies between the latitudes N 33^o 45ʹ 00ʹʹ to N 33^o 49ʹ 00ʹ ʹ and longitudes 73^o 36ʹ 35ʹʹE to 73^o 52ʹ6ʹʹE on Geological Survey of Pakistan topoheet no. 43G/10. The area about 72 Km² has been mapped at 1:50,000 scale. The Impact value, Los Angeles Abrasion resistance, Specific gravity and Water absorption has been evaluated for kamlial sandstone. The samples collected from Garata Sarsawa, Panjeera, Telyan, Kharran, Jabbri kass, Kand Gora, Parasgali, Garrala, Hollar, Chhechann and Nakar near Pallandri. The data from test results reflect that Impact value of Kamlial Sandstone is 25.2 percent which implies its satisfactory condition. The Mechanical studies show that Abrasion Resistance of Kamlial Sandstones is 41.4 percent which is less than AASHTO (2010) value i.e 50 percent. The Apparent Specific gravity founds 2.1 percent which is less than ASTM standards i.e between 2.6-2.9. And the Water Absorption value comes at 2.24 percent. The data indicate that Kamlial sandstone do not qualify ASTM specification for aggregate.
