1. VISION
Minor Minerals are a valuable finite and non-renewable natural resource being the vital raw material for the infrastructure development such as construction of road, bridges, highways, buildings, dams, airport etc. Exploration, extraction and management of minor minerals have to be guided by State goals and perspectives, to be integrated into the overall strategy of the State’s economic development. Scientific mining has to go hand-in-hand with sustainable management practices for the long-term economic development of the State. The Govt. of Mizoram knowing the importance of development of minerals found it necessary to outline policy relating to the development of mineral resources of the State.
Natural resources, including minor mineral 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 pilferages of minerals as well as State’s wealth. 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 State level for mineral development and co-ordination to fulfill objectives of this policy.
