Shri. Balvinder Kumar, IAS, Secretary, Ministry of Mines message in National Conclave on Mines and Minerals at Raipur

The Mining Sector has a pivotal role to play in the “Make in India” Vision of the Prime Minister. With the rapid growth of the Indian Economy anticipated in the years to come, there is a renewed thrust in infrastructure and manufacturing sectors, which would require ensured and timely supply of minerals as basic raw materials. The reforms undertaken would ensure that the matching growth of the mining sector is sustainably achieved for giving impetus to the “Make in India” Program.
