CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER FIVE CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION This study shows that the socio-economic components of sustainable production and utilization is seen to be most challenging.

The effect of transportation will be reduced if the roads and railways are in healthy condition. And transportation on the other way round has impact on the price of cement. And this when handled properly can bring down the price of cement which is the dream of the govern ... Continue Reading
