It is the only association in the country that represents the complete breadth of beach minerals producers, sellers, traders, employees and their families. The BMPA is comprised of over 120 members who have been actively involved in mining beach minerals such as garnet, ilmenite, zircon, rutile, leucoxene and sillimanite for over 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>BMPA has been a pioneer in the concerted and collective efforts of the beach minerals industry. It constantly works with its member producers and authorities to enable the industry to realise its fullest potential in an environmentally conscious approach.<\/p>\n<p>Having been accredited by the Quality Council of India, BMPA is an Accredited Business Membership Organisation. In addition to contributing Rs 5,000 crores in foreign exchange every year, BMPA also provides employment\u00a0 and organises social welfare programs for over 50,000 people in southern Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Kerala.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Some Facts\u2019 tab:<\/strong><br \/>\no \u00a0\u00a0120+ members<br \/>\no \u00a0\u00a0Rs 5,000 crore in forex a year<br \/>\no \u00a0\u00a0Direct employment to 50,000 families<br \/>\no \u00a0\u00a0Indirect employment to over 3 lakh families<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;INDUSTRY JOURNEY&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1491392810269-e2a6eb2d-c180&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"membership-about-us\">\n<p>BMPA is a registered association formed for the sole purpose of espousing the cause of the beach minerals industry and its members. Though India is blessed with an abundance of mineral wealth, the true potential of beach minerals is yet to be realised. While there are many trade associations for iron ore, coal and bauxite that work for the advancement of the mining industry in general, there has never been a single entity to<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> champion the distinctive needs of the beach minerals industry<\/span> while also keeping in mind the pressing need for environmental protection.<\/p>\n<p>Since its inception in 1995, BMPA has worked tirelessly to bring about policy change to reflect the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">unique eco-friendly nature of beach sand mining.<\/span> As a practise, BMPA ensures that only those practices that are a hundred per cent in line with environment safety and sustainability goals are followed.<\/p>\n<p>Until 1998, access to beach sand minerals (with the exception of garnet) rested solely with the Government. With the continued efforts of BMPA, the Government introduced a beach sand mineral policy in 1998 which allowed private participation in beach minerals mining. Since then, the production to reserve ratio has increased by 80%.<\/p>\n<p>BMPA has since appeared before a Parliamentary Committee discussing the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Bill of 2011 to suggest amendments to the mining law, taking into consideration the beach minerals industry and its negligible impact on the environment. Reports have been regularly submitted to the Government and the Mining and Environmental Ministry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Milestones: <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;VISION AND MISSION&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1491392884260-24f9860d-5e93&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"membership-about-us\">\n<h3>Vision<\/h3>\n<p>To provide a common platform to represent the best interests of the beach minerals industry for all the stakeholders, and to work together to grow the industry to a position of relevance for India, while preserving our delicate ecosystem.<\/p>\n<h3>Mission<\/h3>\n<ol class=\"about-us-list\">\n<li>To provide a platform for the unified voice of the beach minerals industry such that they can spread awareness about environmental safety procedures and technological advancements in the industry<\/li>\n<li>To equip the members with knowledge on latest governmental policies and environment-conscious developments in the industry through research and advice<\/li>\n<li>To maintain a regular flow of communication with government agencies to petition for simplifying the process of obtaining a mining lease and restrict licenses to Indian-owned companies<\/li>\n<li>To build awareness among members to care for the environment, provide local employment and upgrade the skills of the local populace.<\/li>\n<li>To ensure that the country realises its full economic potential in terms of employment and revenue in the most ecologically friendly manner<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;INITIATIVES\/PROGRAMMES&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1491393139075-56646288-ffe0&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"membership-about-us\">\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Dialogue with the Government<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>As a Quality Council of India accredited organisation, BMPA is recognised by both the Central as well as State Governments.
