Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that Madhya Pradesh has never lagged behind in mineral resources and is now moving swiftly to become India’s leading ‘Mining State’ in line with emerging opportunities and challenges. He emphasised that this is the right time to invest in Madhya Pradesh, assuring industrialists that the government will provide every possible support to help them realise their biggest ambitions. CM Dr. Yadav was addressing industrialists from the mining sector and potential investors at the ‘Madhya Pradesh Mining Conclave2.0’ organised in Katni on Saturday. He expressed happiness that the conclave has been highly successful in exploring new opportunities in mineral exploration and mining. The government has received investment proposals worth Rs. 56,414 crore from eight mining companies at the Katni Conclave.

 

The Chief Minister informed that the State Government has signed three important MoUs to strengthen the sector. With Coal India Limited for exploration, processing and development of critical minerals. With Texmin ISM Dhanbad for the use of Artificial Intelligence, IoT, Blockchain and Remote Sensing in mining. With IISER Bhopal for mineral exploration research. He said that these MoUs will give new heights to Madhya Pradesh’s mining sector.

 

Chief MinisterDr. Yadav underlined that copper holds greater importance in Indian tradition than even gold or silver. He said, “Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is a visionary leader who has set an exemplary model of inclusive development in Gujarat”. Stressing India’s philosophy of utilisation, not exploitation, he said, “Our culture is of ‘live and let live’. Industrialists not only move ahead themselves but also create opportunities for others.”
