national goals and perspectives, to be integrated into the overall strategy of the country’s

Natural resources, including minerals, are a shared inheritance where the State is a trustee
on behalf of the people and therefore it is imperative that allocation of mineral resources is
done in a fair and transparent manner to ensure equitable distribution of mineral wealth to
sub-serve the common good. Mining needs to be carried out in an environmentally
sustainable manner keeping stakeholders’ participation, and devolution of benefits to the
mining affected persons with the overall objective of maintaining high level of trust between
all stakeholders.

It shall also be ensured that the regulatory environment is conducive to ease of doing
business with simpler, transparent and time-bound procedures for obtaining clearances.
Since mining contributes significantly to state revenues, there is a need for an efficient
regulatory mechanism with high penetration of e-governance systems to prevent illegal
mining and value leakages. Mining contributes significantly to employment generation, thus ,
there shall be a keen focus on gender sensitivity in the mining sector at all levels. Endeavour
shall be made to set up a unified authority at national level for mineral development and co-
ordination to fulfill objectives of this policy.
