Union Steel and Mines Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said that ‘Mines and Minerals’ convention will be held on July 4 and 5 in Raipur district. He further said that for the transparency in distribution of natural resources the Modi Government has approved the ‘National Mining Policy’ which will be a milestone.
In the convention, the issues and difficulties in the field of mining will be discussed. A roadmap for the development of the mining industry can be prepared during this convention. Also the investors and mining companies can directly interact with the ministers and policy makers and discuss their issues.
Tomar said that this is the first time such a convention is taking place where the government will find help in dealing with the issues that come in the way of mining industries. This convention will be held every year from now on. The convention will be addressed by the union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.
Tomar further said that in Modi’s ‘Make in India’ campaign the Mining ministry has contributed through its policy structures and by bringing changes in its legislation and regulations. To minimize the effect of mining on the environment the Mining Ministry has set norms. The convention will give good foundation to the mining industries and will contribute to the economy of the nation and create jobs in the nation. The mining industry is going through a low phase in the international markets due to decreased demands from China.
Tomar said that one page NCMM has been created on the portal of Mining Ministry. Also one can find a brochure, scheduled of the programme and registration link can be seen there. This convention will attract the leading industrialist, investors, mining companies, education and research scientists and economists.
