National Mineral Scenario2.12.12.12.12.1 Minerals are valuable natural resources.They constitute the vital raw materials for manybasic industries and are a major resource fordevelopment. The history of mineral extractionin India dates back to the days of theHarappan civilization. The wide availabilityof the minerals provides a base for the growthand development of the mining sector in India.
2.22.22.22.22.2 The country is endowed with hugeresources of many metallic and non-metallicminerals. Mining sector is an importantsegment of the Indian economy. Sinceindependence, there has been a pronouncedgrowth in the mineral production both in termsof quantity and value. India produces as many
as 87 minerals, which includes 4 fuel, 10metallic, 48 non-metallic, 3 atomic and 24minor minerals (including building and othermaterials).
Mineral Production2.32.32.32.32.3 Based on the overall trend so far the indexof mineral production (base 2004-05) for theyear 2013-14 is estimated to be 122.7 ascompared to 125.5 for 2012-13 showing anegative growth of 2.23%.

Self-Reliance in Minerals &Mineral Based Products2.14 2.14 2.14 2.14 2.14 India continued to be largely self-sufficient in minerals which constitute primarymineral raw materials to industries, such as,thermal power generation, iron & steel, ferro-alloys, aluminium, cement, various types ofrefractories, china clay-based ceramics, glass,chemicals like caustic soda, soda ash, calciumcarbide, titania white pigment, etc. India is,by and large, self-sufficient in lignite, bauxite,chromite, iron and manganese ores, ilmeniteand rutile among metallic minerals; andalmost all the industrial minerals with theexception of chrysotile asbestos, borax,fluorite, kyanite, potash, rock phosphate andelemental sulphur. Despite high degree ofself-sufficiency, some quantities of flaky and
amorphous graphite of high fixed carbon,kaolin and ballclay for special applications,very low silica limestone, dead-burntmagnesite and sea water magnesia, batterygrade manganese dioxide, etc. were importedto meet the demand for either blending withlocally available mineral raw materials and /or for manufacturing special qualities ofmineral-based products. To meet theincreasing demand of uncut diamonds,emerald and other precious and semipreciousstones by the domestic cutting and polishingindustry, India continued to depend on importsof raw uncut stones for their value-added re-exports.

‘We all start from ‘naïve realism’, i.e., thedoctrine that things are what they seem.We think that grass is green, that stonesare hard, and that snow is cold. But physicsassures us that the greenness of grass, thehardness of stones, and coldness of snoware not the greenness, hardness andcoldness that we know in our ownexperience, but something very different.The observer, when he seems to himself tobe observing a stone, is really, if physics isto be believed, observing the effects of thestone upon himself. Thus science seems tobe at war with itself: when it most meansto be objective, it finds itself plunged intosubjectivity against its will. Naïve realismleads to physics, and physics, it is true,shows that naïve realism is false. Therefore,naïve realism, if true, is false; therefore it isfalse’

The Legislative Framework
3.13.13.13.13.1 The Mines & Mineral(Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 (Act)is the law governing the Mineral Sector (otherthan Petroleum and Natural Gas) of theCountry. The Mineral Concession Rules,1960and the Mineral Conservation andDevelopment Rules,1988 are the rulescovering the sector.
3.23.23.23.23.2 The Scheme of MMDR Act, 1957recognises the substantial role of the StateGovernments. The Act essentially delegatesall powers relating to minor minerals to theStates with regard to their Development andRegulation. List of Minor Minerals has beenduly notified. The other Minerals are popularlyknown as Major Minerals. In the case of MajorMinerals the States substantially regulate anddevelop minerals subject to provisions of theAct. In the case of Minerals in the FirstSchedule of the Act which cover under Part ACoal and Lignite, Part B Atomic Minerals, PartC 10 specified minerals the States need totake prior approval of the CentralGovernment to the grant concessions. TheCentral Government retains the power ofrevision, fixation of royalty etc. in respect ofMajor Minerals.
3.33.33.33.33.3 The Ministry of Coal exercises all powersof the Central Government with respect toCoal and Lignite under the Act. TheDepartment of Atomic Energy similarlyexercises all powers for Atomic Minerals.
3.43.43.43.43.4 The Ministry also administers theOffshore Areas Mineral (Development andRegulation) Act, 2002 (OAMDR Act) and therules made there under, for all minerals, otherthan Petroleum and Natural Gas within theterritorial waters and the continental shelf. All

National Mineral Policy, 2008
3.53.53.53.53.5 The National Mineral Policy (NMP) wasnotified in 2008. It recommends measureslike assured right to next stage mineralconcession, transferability of mineralconcessions and transparency in allotment ofconcessions, in order to reduce delays whichare seen as impediments to investment andtechnology flows in the mining sector in India.The Mineral Policy also seeks to develop aSustainable Development Framework foroptimum utilisation of the country’s naturalmineral resources for the industrial growth inthe country and at the same time improvingthe life of people living in the mining areas,which are generally located in the backwardand tribal regions of the country.
3.6 Other features of the NationalMineral Policy, 2008, inter alia, are:-
(a) NMP recognizes that minerals are valuablenatural resources being the vital raw materialfor infrastructure, capital goods and basicindustries, and development of the extractionand management of minerals has to beintegrated into the overall strategy of thecountry’s economic development.
Ministry of Mines/Annual Report 2013-14
26
(b) The exploitation of minerals has to beguided by long-term national goals andperspectives which are dynamic andresponsive to the changing global economicscenario.
(c) The NMP also recognizes that the countryis blessed with ample resources of a numberof minerals and has the geologicalenvironment for many others, being a part ofthe ancient Gondwanaland which includesparts of Australia, Africa and Latin America.
(d) NMP lays out that the guiding strategy fordevelopment of any mineral should naturallykeep in view its ultimate end use in terms ofdemand and supply in the short, medium andlong terms and this would be market oriented.However, a disaggregated approach inrespect of each mineral should be adoptedand a mineral specific strategy be developedto maximise gains from the comparativeadvantage which the country enjoys, andmineral development be prioritized in termsof import substitution, value addition andexport, in that order.
(e) Conservation of minerals shall beconstrued not in the restrictive sense ofabstinence from consumption or preservationfor use in the distant future but as a positiveconcept leading to augmentation of reservebase through improvement in miningmethods, beneficiation and utilisation of low-grade ore and the rejects and recovery ofassociated minerals.
Important areas of focus inNational Mineral Policy 2008:
3.73.73.73.73.7 The Policy states that the CentralGovernment in consultation with StateGovernments shall formulate legal measures
necessary for giving effect to it to ensure basicuniformity in mineral administration across thecountry, to ensure that the development ofmineral resources keeps pace, and is inconsonance with the national goals. Someof the important areas of focus in the NationalMineral Policy 2008 are:
(i) Ushering in greater liberalisation andprivate sector involvement, and to widen thescope of the regulatory framework of theGovernment in the mining sector by shiftingthe focus from conventional areas ofmanaging the mineral concession systems tonew areas of regulating the mineral sectorholistically through addressing issues ofsimplification, transparency and sectoral bestpractices in order to attract capital andtechnology in the sector from new sources.
(ii) Developing partnerships with stakeholdersincluding the State Governments, mineral andmineral-based industries and variousconcerned Ministries/Departments of theCentral Government, for development andconservation of mineral resources andformulation of strategy to ensure raw materialssecurity. The policy also seeks to deepen thescope of the developmental framework bymandating better management of resources,enhancing the impetus on Research andDevelopment, as also by developing theHuman Resources in the sector.
(iii) Ensuring that the interests of hostpopulations and other vulnerable sections arefully protected and the benefit of the economicactivity in the mining sector flows equitably tothe stakeholders. Since a large proportion ofthe mineral wealth is situated in areas underforest cover, inhabited by tribal orunderprivileged communities and of latesocio-economic issues concerning thesemarginalized groups which, inter alia, include
27
perceptions about their displacement, controlof area by outsiders, economic isolation,environmental degradation and loss oflivelihood and habitat, etc. have come intofocus, articulated through various means asconstituting alienation and loss of identity,there is a felt need to incorporate provisionsin the mining legislation enabling institutionalmechanisms for involvement of the localpeople, especially the tribal andunderprivileged communities, in thedevelopment of mineral resources throughsharing of benefits of mining and creation ofstakeholder rights.

Mines and Mineral(Development and Regulation)Bill, 20113.83.83.83.83.8 Based on the recommendations of theHigh Level Committee set up in the PlanningCommission, Government of India, inconsultation with State Governments, theNational Mineral Policy (NMP) was notifiedon the 13th March, 2008. The NMP 2008provides for a change in the role of the CentralGovernment and the State Governments toincentivize private sector investment inexploration and mining and for ensuring levelplaying field and transparency in the grant ofconcessions and promotion of scientificmining within a sustainable development
framework so as to protect the interest of localpopulation in mining areas. This hasnecessitated harmonization of the extantlegislation with NMP 2008.
3.93.93.93.93.9 The Mines and Minerals (Developmentand Regulation) Bill 2011 (MMDR Bill) wasintroduced in the Lok Sabha on 12.12.2011which was then referred to the StandingCommittee on Coal and Steel (StandingCommittee) for examination and report on05.1.2012.

for measures to ensure scientific managementof the mining process. Rule 45 of the MCDRprovides for the mining companies to provideperiodic reports on the extraction and disposalof the mined material. Rule 45 of MCDR alsofacilitates end-to- end national-scaleaccounting of all minerals produced in thecountry from the pit head to its end-use,reducing the scope for illegal mining, royaltyevasion, etc. The amended Rule 45 nowmakes it mandatory for all miners, traders,stockists, exporters and end-users of mineralsto register and report on the production, tradeand utilisation of minerals to the StateGovernment(s) and Indian Bureau of Mines.Up to 31st March, 2014, total 8835 miningleases have been registered online with IBM.IBM has suspended 958 mines for non-compliance and recommended 578 cases toState Governments for termination. Similarlyas regards to the status of registration of endusers, traders, stockists and exporters, at theend of March, 2014 total 2753 units of end-users, 3698 number of traders, 1343 numberof stockiest and 702 number of exporters havebeen registered. Indian Bureau of Mines hasalso requested the State Governments not toissue transit passes for movement of mineralsto unregistered operators.
Mineral Concession System
3.193.193.193.193.19 In the federal structure of India, the StateGovernments are the owners of mineralslocated within their respective boundaries. TheCentral Government is the owner of theminerals underlying the ocean within theterritorial waters or the Exclusive EconomicZone of India.
3.203.203.203.203.20 In this context, the entry at serial No.23 of List II (State list) to the Constitution ofIndia states,
‘Regulation of mines and mineraldevelopment subject to the provisions of List Iwith respect to regulation and developmentunder the control of the Union.’
3.213.213.213.213.21 The entry at serial No. 54 of List I(Central list) to the Constitution of India states,
‘Regulation of mines and mineraldevelopment to the extent to which suchregulation and development under the controlof the Union is declared by Parliament by lawto be expedient in the public interest.’
3.223.223.223.223.22 In pursuance to the entry at serial No.54 of List I, the Central Government haveframed legislation titled Mines & Minerals(Development and Regulation) (MMDR) Act,1957 as Central Act No. 67 of 1957.
Types of Mineral Concessions
3.233.233.233.233.23 There are three kinds of mineralconcessions, viz Reconnaissance Permit(RP),Prospecting License(PL) and Mining Lease(ML).
3.243.243.243.243.24 RP is granted for preliminary prospectingof a mineral through regional, aerial,geophysical or geochemical surveys andgeological mapping. The RP for any mineral orprescribed group of associated minerals isgranted for 3 years and for a maximum area of5,000 sq. kms, to be relinquished progressively.After 2 years, the area should be reduced to1,000 sq. kms or 50% of the area granted,whichever is less. At the end of 3 years, areaheld under an RP should be reduced to 25 sqkms. In a State, a person can be granted amaximum area of 10,000 sq. kms under RPsubject to the condition that area in a single RPdoes not exceed 5000 sq. kms. A RP holderhas preferential right to obtain PL(s) in the areaconcerned under Section 11 (1) of the Act.

3.253.253.253.253.25 PL is granted for undertaking operationsfor the purpose of exploring, locating orproving mineral deposit. A PL for any mineralor prescribed group of associated minerals isgranted for a maximum period of 3 years. APL can be renewed in such a manner that thetotal period for which a PL is granted doesnot exceed 5 years. In a State, a person canbe granted a maximum area of 25 sq. kms inone or more PLs, but if the CentralGovernment is of the opinion that in theinterest of development of any mineral it isnecessary to do so, the maximum area limitcan be relaxed. A PL holder has preferentialright to obtain ML in the area concerned underSection 11 (1) of the Act.
3.263.263.263.263.26 ML is granted for undertakingoperations for winning any mineral. A ML for
any mineral or prescribed group of associatedminerals is granted for a minimum period of20 years and a maximum period of 30 years.A ML can be renewed for periods notexceeding 20 years each. In a State, a personcan be granted a maximum area of 10 sq.kms in one or more MLs, but if the CentralGovernment is of the opinion that in theinterest of development of any mineral it isnecessary to do so, the maximum area limitcan be relaxed.

• Relaxation of Rules in special casesunder Section 31 of the Act, keeping in viewthe interest of mineral development.
Major initiatives taken by theMinistry for making theMineral Concession Systemefficient and transparent.
3.293.293.293.293.29 The Ministry of Mines had constituted aCoordination-cum-Empowered Committee(CEC) under the chairpersonship of Secretary(Mines) to monitor and minimize delays atvarious levels in grant of approvals for mineralconcession applications on 4.3.2009.Keeping in view the need for having moreeffective coordination among the CentralMinistries/Departments and the StateGovernments for grant of mineral concessionsas well as for dealing with various importantmatters relating to mineral development andregulation in the country, the CEC has beenreconstituted as “Coordination-cum-Empowered Committee on MineralDevelopment and Regulation” on 20thOctober, 2011. The CEC comprises seniorofficers of the Ministries of Mines, Environmentand Forests, Home Affairs, Steel, Railways,Finance, Shipping, Fertilizers, Department ofAtomic Energy, Directorate General of CivilAviation (DGCA), Geological Survey of India(GSI), Indian Bureau of Mines (IBM).Representatives of State Governments areinvited to the meetings of the CEC as specialinvitees. The Terms of Reference (TOR) of theCEC have also been broadened so as to bringwithin its ambit other important matters viz.Sustainable Development Framework,Coordination/review of steps for preventionof illegal mining, issues arising out of theNational Mineral Policy and legislationgoverning mineral development etc.
3.303.303.303.303.30 The CEC meets quarterly, and has heldten meetings so far, wherein important
35
decisions aimed at minimizing delays inprocessing of mineral concession applicationsat various levels and bringing about efficiencyand transparency in the overall mineralconcession regime were taken.
3.313.313.313.313.31 One of the main decisions taken by theCEC in its first meeting that has beenreiterated in the subsequent meetings was thata State level Coordination-cum--EmpoweredCommittee (SEC) would be constituted in eachState under the chairmanship of ChiefSecretary or Additional Chief Secretary/Principal Secretary of the Mining/IndustriesDepartment with representation from allconcerned Departments/institutions. As perthe information received by the Ministry, allmineral-rich States viz. Andhra Pradesh,Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Goa, Jharkhand,Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra,Orissa, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu haveconstituted their respective SECs. The othermajor decisions/steps taken by the CECrelating to mineral concessions were: callingupon the State Governments to ensure timelysubmission of quarterly reports on mineralconcessions, prompt issuance of letters ofintent (LOI), and expeditious disposal of long-standing concession cases.
3.323.323.323.323.32 The Ministry of Mines has, inconsultation with the State Governments,issued detailed guidelines on 24th June, 2009,in order to bring more clarity in processingthe mineral concession proposals under theMines and Minerals (Development &Regulation) Act, 1957 and MineralConcession Rules, 1960. The guidelines alsoseek to ensure application of uniform criteriaand transparent principles by the StateGovernments while examining andrecommending proposals to the CentralGovernment.

investigation of basemetals has taken up inBhilwara, Rajasthan.
6.9 Geophysical Mapping
Systematic ground gravity - magnetic surveysunder the Geophysical Mapping Programme
(GPM) has been initiated during X Plan Periodand is being continued in XI and XII PlanPeriod. The mapping process involvesacquisition of gravity and magnetic data withan average station density of one station per2.5 sq km area for compilation ofstandardized gravity and magnetic maps ofthe country on 1:50,000 scale. A total of2,34,915 sq km area is completed by groundgravity survey and magnetic (VF or TF) surveyon 1:50,000 scale since initiation of thisprogramme.
During the first two years of XII Plan period(till March 2014) an area of 61,936 sq.km.has been covered and during FY 2013-14(up to March, 2014), an area of 34,398 sqkm has been covered under GPMprogramme.
6.10 Geochemical mapping
India’s National GeoChemical Mapping(NGCM) Programme was initiated by GSI in2001-02 with the launching of a number ofpilot surveys in different States all over thecountry. The prime objective of this endeavouris to produce an inventory of geochemicaldata on 1:50,000 scale for the Indianlandmass based primarily on analysis ofstream sediments, using a consistent set ofmethods. These data will comprise acomplete, national-scale geochemicalcoverage of the Indian land area, and willenable construction of geochemical maps,refine estimates of baseline concentrations ofchemical elements in the sampled media andprovide context for a wide variety of studiesin the geological and environmental sciences.13.02 % mappable landmass equivalent to4,27,009 sq km spreading over about 642toposheets has been covered systematicallyunder NGCM.

Copper Industry in India7.487.487.487.487.48 Copper finds widespread use in a widerange of application in all major sectorsnamely, construction, electric & electronicproducts, industrial machinery & equipment,transportation equipment & consumer andgeneral products.
7.497.497.497.497.49 At present, the demand for copperminerals in the Country for primary copperproduction is met through two sources i.e.Copper ore mined from indigenous minesand imported concentrates. The indigenousmining activity among the primary copperproducers is limited to only Hindustan CopperLimited (HCL). The other primary copperproducers in the private sector import therequired mineral in the form of concentrate.
Currently, three major players dominate theIndian Copper Industry. Hindustan CopperLimited (HCL) in Public Sector, M/s HindalcoIndustries and M/s Sterlite Industries in PrivateSector. HCL is the only vertically integratedcopper producer in the country, while M/sHindalco Industries at Dahej in Gujarat andM/s Sterlite Industries in Tuticorn in TamilNadu have setup port based smelting andrefining plants. Production of metal by majorplayers in copper industry for the year 2012-13 was 685096 tonnes and during 2013-14are given at TTTTTable 7.12able 7.12able 7.12able 7.12able 7.12.

Twelfth Five Year Plan(2012-17) and Annual Plans13.113.113.113.113.1 The country is endowed with hugeresources of many metallic and non-metallicminerals. Mining sector is an importantsegment of the Indian economy. SinceIndependence, there has been a pronouncedgrowth in the mineral production both in termsof quantity and value. To exploit the country’sgeological potential for the sustainabledevelopment of the country, it is importantthat scientific and detailed prospecting iscarried out in search of its mineral resources.It needs to be ensured that regional anddetailed exploration is carried outsystematically in the entire geologicallyconducive mineral bearing areas of thecountry using state-of-the-art techniques in atime bound manner. Minerals being avaluable resource, the extraction of mineralresources located through exploration andprospecting have to be maximized throughscientific methods of mining, beneficiation andeconomic utilization. Zero-waste mining has
to be the national goal and mining technologyneeds to be upgraded to ensure extractionand utilization of the entire run-of-mines inthe most efficient and sustainable manner.
13.213.213.213.213.2 The Geological Survey of India (GSI) isthe principal agency for geological mappingand regional mineral resources assessmentof the country. It is responsible for drawingup action oriented plans towards these endsin close cooperation with all other agenciesengaged in this task. The GSI needs to ensurethat its regional surveys cover all major geo-scientific datasets, including geology,magnetic, gravity, geochemistry, etc. and thatin line with best international practices, allpre-competitive data, including spatial datain GIS environment is put out to facilitateentrepreneurs to take investment decisions forexploration and make applications for mineralconcessions. Many of these data sets, suchas magnetic and geochemistry, thoughrequiring high investment of funds andmanpower, give very high returns throughdiscovery of new mineral deposits.

13.413.413.413.413.4 However, while preparation of 12th Planbudgetary requirement the following were nottaken into consideration:
(i) Additional requirement forimplementation of the recommendationsof the report of the “Committee for Reviewand Restructuring of the functions and roleof IBM” as the same was not finalized.The report was submitted to theGovernment in May 2012.
(ii) DPR for Scheme of Mining TenementSystem was not finalized.
(iii) As pro-active measures for prevention ofillegal mining Project Proposal on“Application of Remote Sensing Techniqueusing Satellite imageries for monitoringof mining and Environmental activities.
13.513.513.513.513.5 Considering these additionalrequirements, IBM would need budgetaryallocation of 367.84 crore (excluding
Construction budget of 30.00 crore alreadyprovisioned). Keeping in line with order of theApex Court and Report of the ShahCommission on Illegal Mining, IBM has todevelop a robust national mineral informationsystem to curb illegal mining activities. Theaim of the project on Mining Tenement Systemis to enable grant of mineral concessionsspeedily thereby eliminating inordinate delays.Moreover, vast data on mining industry wouldbe available online which enable arriving atspeedy decision in the Government. Thereport of the Restructuring Committee and theDPR for the Mining Tenement System havebeen approved, it is necessary that more fundsshould be given to IBM in the 12th Five YearPlan. In other words, IBM would requireadditional provision to the tune of `169.31crore for implementing the on-going schemes,report of the Re-structuring Committee andMining Tenement System.

13.613.613.613.613.6 The Ashok Chawla Committee onAllocation of Natural Resources has alsorecommended that GSI may complete itsgeochemical and geophysical mappingexpeditiously so as to develop potential areasfor prospecting so that such prospects canthen be competitively auctioned. Geologicaldata of most of India is now available withGSI, however, geophysical and geochemicalmapping coverage is low. It is envisaged inthe 12th Plan to complete geophysical andgeochemical mapping of at least the mineralpotential areas which according to ourassessment is 8.2 lakh km2. The indicativeGBS for the 12th Plan leaves little scope tocarry out geophysical and geochemicalmapping of the potential areas and, therefore,the Ministry needs additional financialallocations for GSI. Besides, this Ministryproposes to have increased stress on StrategicMinerals, Fertilizer Minerals and Base metalswhere private investments are not forthcomingdue to high uncertainties.13.713.713.713.713.7 With adequate fund allocation duringthe 12th Five Year Plan, it would be possiblefor the Ministry of Mines to perform its basicmandated responsibilities.

Geological Survey of India (GSI)13.1613.1613.1613.1613.16 During FY 2014-15 GSI has beengranted a budget of 483.70 crore againstthe proposed Budget outlay of GSI for`577.29 crore, which works out to 84%allocation against the projection. While theallocation will be adequate for carrying outboth the special projects / expenditure(OCBIS, Modernisation Programme,maintenance of the Vessels / Aircraft /Heliborne Systems etc) and operational (FSP)expenditure, a considerable portion of theallocation will be spent on clearing the lastyear’s pending bills under different heads.
13.1713.1713.1713.1713.17 In the present outlay, 121 crorehas been granted under Other Charges ofSurvey & Mapping Head. After the recentacquisition of the OGRV R.V. SamudraRatnakar, the maintenance charges to SCI forthe vessel has increased substantially. Clearing
of the pending bills of last year towards OGRVas well as maintenance bills pertaining toexisting marine vessels, airborne systems,outsourcing of vehicles, and analysis ofNGCM samples through outsourcing andestablishment of National Geophysical DataRepository will be met from the existing budgetof FY 2014-15.
13.1813.1813.1813.1813.18 The provision for MineralExploration Head, has been pegged at 12crore under OC to take up the outsourcingof drilling programmes and outsourcing ofvehicle for field work.
13.1913.1913.1913.1913.19 GSI shall take up a project forimplementation of Phase III of the GSIEnterprise portal through Online CoreBusiness Integrated System (OCBIS) for which` 90 crore has been allotted (including otherIT related routine expenditure).
13.2013.2013.2013.2013.20 Under R&D Scheme, funds have beengranted for meeting the essential expenditurerelated to sophisticated laboratory gadgets,service contract (AMC) for laboratoryequipment, procurement of spares andconsumables for the sophisticated equipmentinstalled in the different geological andchemical laboratories, exigency fund formeeting expenditures of emergent naturerelated to the running of the sophisticatedstate-of-the-art laboratories
13.2113.2113.2113.2113.21 The coastal vessels of GSI are very old(~ 30 years) and already completed theirlifespan and considering this fact GSI is inthe process of procuring one multi-utilityGeotechnical vessel with shallow drillingcapabilities which is awaiting final approvalfrom the Government. Once theGeotechnical vessel materializes, GSI shallrequire additional funds under the M & E headduring the XII Plan. During the last three years

due to procurement of OGRV, sufficient fundsfor procurement of laboratory and drillinginstruments were not available. During the FY2014-15 an amount of ` 72 crore andanother ` 9.50 crore have been receivedunder M&E head for GSI and Capital headfor NER respectively. However, if GSI isrequired to pay the first installment of theGeotechnical vessel from the available fundsthen there will be shortage of funds under theM & E head for procurement of laboratoryand drilling instruments; and GSI may appealto the Ministry for additional fund.
13.2213.2213.2213.2213.22 Adequate funds have beenreceived for conducting various scientificactivities by way of Conferences/Seminars/Exhibitions etc., and promoting andpopularizing IGC-2020 event at variousNational & International Fora.
