Abstract- Using affordable, environmentally friendly materials to complete projects is a significant challenge for the Indian building sector. Due to its great strength and durability, the current study shows that stone dust can be employed as a fine aggregate material in concrete. The stone dust was gathered at a stone cutting facility near the Achnera cold storage in Bharatpur, Rajasthan. In the current study, the use of stone dust in place of sand in concrete has been compared in terms of both strength and cost. A cubic block made of river sand has a compressive strength of 26.66 N/mm2, whereas a cubic block made of stone dust has a compressive strength of 30.22 N/mm2. According to research, employing stone dust instead of river sand results in concrete increasing by 13.5 percent over the course of 28 days while increasing by 46.66 percent over the course of 7 days.
