  • The Mines and Minerals (Development & Regulation) Amendment Act, 2015, mandated the setting up of District Mineral Foundations (DMFs) in all districts in the country affected by mining related operations.
  • In case of all mining leases executed before 12th January, 2015 (the date of coming into force of the Amendment Act) miners will have to contribute an amount equal to 30% of the royalty payable by them to the DMFs.
  • Where mining leases are granted after 12.01.2015, the rate of contribution would be 10% of the royalty payable.
  • Using the funds generated by this contribution, the DMFs are expected to implement the PMKKKY.

Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana (PMKKKY).

  • This is a new programme meant to provide for the welfare of areas and people affected by mining related operations, using the funds generated by District Mineral Foundations (DMFs).
  • The objective of PMKKKY scheme will be
  • to implement various developmental and welfare projects/programs in mining affected areas that complement the existing ongoing schemes/projects of State and Central Government;
  • to minimize/ mitigate the adverse impacts, during and after mining, on the environment, health and socio-economics of people in mining districts
  • to ensure long-term sustainable livelihoods for the affected people in mining areas.
