Three mines of NMDC Ltd have received five star ratings from the Indian Bureau of Mines for their sustainable development practices.
These mines include two mechanised iron ore mines — Bailadila iron ore mine, Bacheli complex, Chhattisgarh and Donimalai Iron Ore Mine in Karnataka — and one diamond mining project in Majhgawan, Panna in Madhya Pradesh.
The evaluation of the mines was based on the implementation of the sustainable development framework on parameters such as management of impact by carrying out scientific and efficient mining, addressing social impacts of resettlement, rehabilitation requirements for mining activities, local community engagements and welfare programmes and steps taken for progressive and final mine closure.
