Mines Secretary Anup Pujari has asked States to expeditiously draw up notifications for the setting up of the non-profit trusts known as District Mineral Foundations, as provided in the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Act, 2015. In a consultation held on Wednesday, Pujari urged States to decide on the composition and function of the DMF and make them functional. He also discussed the preparedness of the States for notification of the mineral blocks to be put up for auctions once the Draft Mineral (Auction) Rules, 2015, were finalised and notified.
