Preparation of Self compacting geo-polymer concrete (SCGC) is a movement towards preparation ofinnovative sustainable concreting techniques in construction industries that compact due to its self weight and it don’trequired cement too . This method is quite expensive at initial stage but reduces the labour expenses and this is alsoenvironment friendly because low emission of CO2 gases which is released in huge amount from the concrete formed ofOPC. The preset investigation is mainly focused on the preliminary studies of SCGC on varying molarity of NaOH andreplacing the river sand with waste foundry sand. Using waste foundry sand in place of river sand solves the problems ofriver mining and also solves the problems of disposal of waste foundry sand. Studies reveals that increasing the molarityof NaOH decreases the fresh properties but increased the compressive strength of SCGC.
