India mein Pehli Baar Critical Minerals ki Exploration Licences ki नीलामी!
Aaj Coal and Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy ne India ki pehli exploration licences (ELs) ki neelami launch kar di hai. Yeh 13 exploration blocks critical minerals ke liye hain, jinmein REE (rare earth elements), zinc, diamond, copper, PGE (platinum group minerals) aur bhi kaafi kuchh shaamil hai. Goa ke Chief Minister Pramod Sawant bhi is launch ke mauke par maujood the.
Kya hai is Neelami ka Mahatva?
Yeh neelami India ke liye ek bada kadam hai. Isse desh mein chhipe hue critical minerals ko dhundhne aur unka istemaal karne ka mauka milega. Isse India ki economy ko bhi bada boost mil sakta hai. Minister Reddy ne kaha ki yeh “mineral exploration mein ek naye daur ki shuruaat” hai. Unhone kaha ki pichhle 10 saal mein India ka mining sector kaafi aage badha hai aur yeh desh ke sabse tezi se badhne wale sectors mein se ek ban gaya hai.
AI Hackathon 2025 bhi Launch
Is program ke saath hi AI Hackathon 2025 bhi launch kiya gaya. Is hackathon ka focus “Mineral Targeting using AI” par hai. Isse naye aur innovative tareekon se minerals dhundhne mein madad milegi.
Private Sector ke liye Bade Mauke
Minister Reddy ne kaha ki yeh neelami private sector ke liye bade mauke lekar aayi hai. Private companies ko 1,000 square metres tak explore karne ki permission milegi. Isse transparency aur efficiency badhegi aur sirf promising areas hi detailed exploration ke liye bachenge. Unhone kaha ki Narendra Modi government ke pehle 10 saalon mein exploration activities mein kaafi badhotri hui hai.
MMDR Act mein Sanshodhan
Minister Reddy ne bataya ki pehle private companies ke liye koi systematic exploration mechanism nahi tha. Is kami ko pura karne ke liye 2023 mein MMDR Act mein sanshodhan kiya gaya. Yeh ek bada reform hai jo mineral exploration ke liye naye raaste kholega.
Goa ko Hoga Faayda
CM Sawant ne is launch ke liye Goa ko choose karne ke liye Mines Ministry ko dhanyavaad diya. Unhone kaha ki mining Goa ki economy ka ek important hissa hai aur yeh employment aur industrial growth mein bada yogdaan deta hai. Unhone kaha ki critical minerals electronic aur green industry ke liye bahut zaroori hain aur inki supply secure karna important hai. Sawant ne kaha ki Hackathon 2025 se Goa ko technology advancement ka faayda milega.
Aatmanirbhar Bharat ki Or Ek Kadam
Mines Secretary V L Kantha Rao ne kaha ki yeh Mines Ministry ke liye ek bada event hai. Neelami mein kai aise critical minerals shaamil hain jinhe abhi 100% import kiya jata hai. In blocks ki mining se India in minerals ke mamle mein aatmanirbhar ban sakega. Unhone bataya ki private companies exploration karengi aur agar unhe critical minerals milte hain toh unhe 50 saal tak income milegi. Agar exploration mein kuchh nahi milta hai toh 50% risk Government of India uthayegi.
