The country‘s Port sector is so

vibrant says PMat Bhoomi Pooja of Dr. Babasaheb

Ambedkar Memorial at Mumbai

Dignitaries seated on stage and appeared in large numbers and mydear brothers and sisters,

Today 11 October is the birth anniversary of Jayaprakash Narayan andthe coincidence that the birth anniversary of Jaiprakash live with me inMumbai today, especially the grand memorial of Babasaheb Ambedkarhave had the privilege of the ground breaking ceremony. It is thereforea coincidence that the father of the Constitution of India and the IndianConstitution Babasaheb Ambedkar by abusing, threatening India’sdemocracy in this country is a sin to save the spirit of the Constitution,the Constitution protect the feelings of Babasaheb Ambedkar for whichwe were given the right to democracy, they bring back a war against

the emergency was JP and was free of the emergency and in that senseI believe the coincidence huge key.Today the opportunity is to get me to launch several schemes. The richcountries of the world, so it really comes to mind is one thing, the countryis Port sector so vibrant. When land of the sea and port sector vibrant.You have seen, along with the country’s economy and vibrancy of portmoving. India is making its place in the global economic environment,the need to strengthen their port sector, it needs to expand, it is theneed to develop, it needs to modernize and I can say with pride todayNitin Minister said that in the short period of fifteen months of workwere not in the last ten years, several new initiative has given newstrength to the whole of the port sector, new energy and a new momentumhas been given.Foreign Direct Investment is mentioned. Today I see that eight thousandcrores of Singapore to Mumbai and India’s investment in the port sectoris to find such a tribute to the people who just gives employment, it isnot. World trade will increase our credibility. In India when I talk aboutthe people who come to them for manufacturing in this country to selltheir goods around the globe will need a good port sector, requiring goodmonkeys.its place within the world of business to make our port sector isto vibrant.The development of monkeys in our country everyone thinks is morevolume. But today is not just driven port development work. Today isnecessary Port led development, and Port led development based on ourport’s connectivity with the maximum infrastructure, the rail, road maybe important, cold storage to the network, warehousing, and this workfor our country’s network The entire coast linking the SDC project we arepursuing. Vajpayee said the SDC project was launched. But he leftgovernment, which the government later said was his agenda and hethought his cause was left unaffected. The idea that our governmentafter the Vajpayee has tried to realize what we have coastal states,because of their participation cooperative, competitive federalism arefocusing on. Beach is the cooperation of states, coast to competitionbetween states, which maintain good port, which progressed in goodport. Government of India and the state of the port sector together how

to develop, we are moving towards those things and today is the worklaid the foundation stone. Our strength in large quantities will increaseat the same place and the cause of the wear and tear that costs are low,profit is the level increases, expansion is also an opportunity. Facilitiescan be provided for the workers to live with dignity. This led to thedevelopment of the welfare of the poor in the direction we are reachingtoday under the leadership of Nitin, we are making their way into theworld.

India, Iran is participating in the development of the Chabahar port. Webelieve that in the coming days because of the impact is going to be twoareas - one for maritime and other space technology. In the 21st century,these two areas are causing much effect. And therefore have space orsea from India wants to move faster with time.

Nitin G is our road. Maharashtra has seen his work before. They believein speed. How many kilometers of road per day for the first time in theprevious government was formed, today I do not want to discuss it. Whoare interested in this subject, then of course knowledgeable people thatderive how many kilometers per day on our road are formed. But today Isay with great pride and satisfaction with the way the motion broughtby Nitin G, average per day over a 15-kilometer road in the country arebecoming. And because it is an effort to develop and enhance theinfrastructure is very important to emphasize. If you have made alongthe way that money is not the way to become so. Paths are formedwhen the money starts to be, it is the strength of the paths.

I want to congratulate Mr. Devendra law. At least in our country, socreating a subway train type DPR works go half-half to two years. Withinfour months he has prepared the DPR who know this field, they knewthat in the four months to make such a great job on paper, it is not in thenature of our country, not only in our system . And it does not get anyworse. All believe so, brothers, so it takes time. But all those habits offthe subway and the speed at which the Minister Devendra work force, it


has become a necessity of life changing cities. If we consider theenvironment friendly development of mass transportation, it’s a very bigfactor. The way our cities are growing, others crisis ever did those growingcities. I have the opportunity to consider growing cities. urban growth,they are not a burden, the opportunity and so all our plans, taking intoaccount that the opportunity should be.

Metro networks in 50 cities in the country today we are moving towards.We have to train 100% Foreign Direct Investment, the door is opened andthe results that came from across the country today, people from aroundthe world train in India are willing to put their capital. 400 railway stationsare the heart of the city, very large amounts of land, but there is nothingbut a platform. the ticket window, rest room, the platform. These multistorey railway station can not do it? Modern and contemporary 100-storyrailway station may not be what? How valuable is the heart of the cityland, but there is no use. We pointed towards the country’s 400 railwaystations in the heart of the city, there are many types of development.The train will continue, up to the development, we are working in thatdirection.

It is the job of the subway, it takes thousands of crores but the feature isformed. Now the technology too, there is new modern technology day byday. Because speed is also increasing its chances of getting to work andI congratulate Mr. Devendra law.

Our Suresh Prabhu Minister of Railways also have done really good. Thefirst railway expansion, gaze conversion, engines and go for electricityfrom diesel engines. There was an indifference to these facts. Today ispicked up and are beginning to show results. In the coming days, andwhen I speak of the railways, the Babasaheb Ambedkar do remember.Babasaheb Ambedkar social rail network was evaluated and he is a senseof untouchability in the society, a sense of volatility, which is the natureof distance, it will break the railway work, so Babasaheb AmbedkarRailway An analysis was done.


I believe that the public transportation system in which social cohesionBabasaheb Ambedkar saw the opportunity, it can also become a causeof adhering. I especially congratulate for this is the law Devendra.

The system of irrigation for farmers in our country should not he, if hislife depended on the rain, the rain had ruined farmers are poor andfamine which for him is by making a call to her life miserable gives.Condolences to famine, the peasant to express condolences to eitherbe in Delhi with the Indian government to demand, or play politicalgames, Devendra living out of it and find a solution to the problem isvery laudable effort. Today they were telling me that accumulation ofwater in about 6200 villages over a million small projects are small andthe water is collected. Somewhere down the water level came up andfarmers in the region to take Rabi Pank situation that arose today, anddid not cost much. I was told that Rs 1,400 crore has become so big, sofun is that the 300 million rupee given by the public participation. I thinkthose people who participated, those villagers greet a million, you seethe country side.

Water accumulation, face crisis is the biggest weapon. I used to work inthe state, there is the desert, rain is very low, but we have waterharvesting campaign, run continuously for ten years, millions of smallcheck dam built, and our farmers to avoid distress remained strong. ButI would like to suggest two more Devendra law, too, think that somenovelty to think. We are a Marginal farmers, large farmers, small farmers,but not for bifurcation between the two fields a very large fenced division.There is a meter land his worst, with a meter of the land is poor, andmillions of acres of such boundless goes into creating our fence. Theareas where the fence is, the cultivation of trees and Timber, this canbe emphasized and that farmer for 15 years, after 20 years, when thetrees grow, if he had the opportunity to cut a tree every year The factthat it will get the same two-five lakh of Timber. I will not see him around.Just on the edge, on its border. The second is a measure that also gottwo neighboring farmer who gives and the Solar Panel, will generatepower, government power to buy, the farmer will farm, the farm will


power, the farmer will work. And a work on which our Maharashtra,especially Vidarbha attention seems to me, and he Honey Bee, HoneyHoney, Mdhukketon farmers should be trained. Today’s huge GlobalMarket of Honey, and she is not bad, how many are single year does notdeteriorate. We must inspire him to his Extra Income. Similarly, OrganicFarming. Cities nearby, Earth Worm, and create circles of women, smallpit and let it go to waste city, Earth Worm put, earthworms, they also payto clean up the mess, Organic Fertilizer turn up , farmer’s land Chemical,Fertilizer and medicines are wasted due to the work of saving him, wecan help our farmers by Multiple Activity, and I see that the way to liveDevendra Innovative and sustainable hardworking As these things aretaking individual initiative, Maharashtra in the coming days to bringradical changes in the agricultural sector and will give a new directionto the country, it is my belief, and I do these things for them to heartsalute.

An important task of today who had the privilege, in a way, I think theseguys work so maybe we got the luck, and someone’s luck is not writtenin the sacred act. The Indu Mill land I was prime minister then what?Was first, but a holy privilege of working is written in our own hands andso today the Indu Mill land of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, is set to becomehome to an inspiration. These Chaityabhoomi .. India is set to becomethe new consciousness, to awaken a reason. And you see the punch-built shrine, the shrine’s construction .. In the coming days, these punch-punch-Pilgrim, whose faith in democracy, who believe in social justice,which is faith in the integrity and unity of the country, those .. visit theshrine of pilgrimage for people to become. The punch-pilgrimage, it didus good luck. See you in Madhya Pradesh Mhow, so governments haveremained unnoticed but his side. When the BJP government in MadhyaPradesh by going to the memorial at the site of Baba Sahib, Baba Sahebtoday to make a living monument to those Sraddharkne he remains ashrine area. Similarly in Delhi, where Babasaheb lived in Delhi, AlipurRoad to the place, 25 years old hanging on the theme files. BabasahebAmbedkar tribute to those who were behind this effort. Vajpayee’sgovernment to move him. But the government said it was suppressed

We came, we took the matter in hand and a few months ago, IAlipore Road that houses a grand memorial of Babasaheb Ambedkar’sFoundation, the foundation stone had the privilege, a magnificentmonument there at a cost of Rs 300 crore has become.

Shri Venkaiah Naidu says Dr.Kalam was a Yogi whodreamt of a Great India


Rameswaram town in Tamil Naidu has been included in Atal Mission for

Rejuvenation and Urban Transformatin (AMRUT) for providing basic urban

infrastructure. This was announced by the Minister of Urban Development

Shri M.Venkaiah Naidu while speaking on the occasion of 84th birth

anniversary of former President Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam at a programme

organized at DRDO here today.

The Ministry has so far identified 497 cities and towns under Atal Mission

under which basic infrastructure is to be developed in 500 cities and towns.

Rameswaram is the 498th to be included in the Mission. With the addition of

Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu would have 32 cities and towns under Atal Mission.

A Committee comprising of Union Ministers Shri M.Venkaiah Naidu, Shri

Manohar Parrikar, Shri Pon Radhakrishnan and former Chief Election

Commissioner Shri N.Gopalaswamy will work out the details of a Memorial

for Dr.Kalam at Rameswaram. This Committee will consult all concerned

before giving a final shape to the Memorial. Tamil Nadu Government assured

the Ministry of Urban Development that land for memorial will be made

available at the place in Rameswaram where the mortal remains of the

former President were laid to rest.

Speaking on the occasion of birth anniversary of Dr.Abdul Kalam, Shri

M.Venkaiah Naidu described him as a “Yogi who was detached from material

life but passionate about the country, its people and their future. He was a

great scientist and at the same time spiritual. He was the Missile Man but

always thought of the poor and their problems. He was the President who

always reached out to the students and the young igniting their minds and

giving wings to their dreams”.

Quoting Dr.Kalam saying “We will be remembered only if we give to our

younger generations a prosperous and safe India, resulting out of

economic prosperity coupled with civilizational heritage”, Shri Naidu said

that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is committed to fulfill this vision

and mission of the former President.


Another First in Vizag Steel

Vizag Steel has done it again. This time in the field of

Orthopaedics. Dr.G Venkateswara Rao, an expert in the field of

Arthroscopic Surgery and Sports Medicine at Vizag Steel

General Hospital, carried out the technically demanding and

challenging task of fixing fractures within the knee joints (Tibial

Eminence Fractures) on two individuals by Arthroscopic Surgery

( Key hole surgery ) without opening the joint. Generally, such

fractures within the joints are treated by putting a plaster cast

or by surgery which is carried out by opening the entire joint

through incisions which are 10-15 cm long. However, Dr Rao,

who has had advanced training in this area in South Korea, using

state of the art arthroscopic equipment, performed the ACL

Avulsion fixation and ACL pull out repair with 3-4 stab incisions

of less than 5mm. Special Titanium screws and suture material

were employed to prevent complications such as stiffness and

infection. Arthroscopic surgery helps in early mobility and faster

recovery from surgery. To the pleasant surprise of the two

patients who had undergone this surgery under Dr.Rao, the

convalescence period was reduced to two weeks as against two

months under the general method. Dr.Rao said he could employ

this advanced method because Vizag Steel had provided the costly

and advanced equipment in its hospital for its employees. Even

corporate hospitals did not have such facilities, he added.

Employees at Vizag Steel expressed happiness at the success of

this advanced operation technique and said they were proud of

Dr.Rao, who with his unparalleled skills could work in any

corporate hospital had chosen to work with Vizag Steel.

Andhra capital: In couple of days, a capitaldream will rise from dust in Guntur

Acapital dream will rise

from dust in Guntur:

Over the last few days, the

long-forgotten sound of

drums and the village crier

making an announcement

have become all too familiar

in Andhra Pradesh. This time, they are doing the rounds to collect one kg of

soil and one litre of water from each village to be taken away and poured into

the ground near a massive stage on the banks of the Krishna in Guntur.

That’s where, say officials, the foundation stone will be laid for Amaravati, the new

capital of Andhra Pradesh, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 22, or

Vijaya Dashami day, considered one of the most auspicious in this part of the world.

“We invite everyone to the feast,” said Civil Supplies Minister Paritala Sunitha.

Obviously, TDP leader and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s government

is going all out to mark the beginning of what would be history in the making.

One lakh guests, including dignitaries from abroad, industrialists, religious heads

and political leaders; nine temporary roads; seven helipads; scores of giant

LED screens that will carry live images of the ceremony; and a “sumptuous

feast” for thousands of people, including 16,000 special invitees — the farmers

who gave their land for the capital under a land-spooling scheme.

“It’s a very picturesque spot and vaastu-compliant. It’s also the spot where

soil from each village of the state’s 13 districts and holy places from across the


country would be mixed with the soil for Amaravati,” said Information Minister

Dr P Raghunatha Reddy. “Soil and water has been collected from Tirumala,

Srisailam, Vaishno Devi, Sabarimala, Ajmer, Varanasi and other holy places,

and rivers, lakes and ponds from the four corners of the country. This area will

become the nerve centre of Andhra Pradesh very soon. The foundation stone

will be laid at 12.45 pm, considered the most auspicious,’’ said Dr Reddy.

After Prime Minister Modi reaches the site from the Gannavaram airport

near Vijayawada, Chief Minister Naidu will unveil his vision for Amaravati

through a Powerpoint presentation. Then, a short film on the area’s history

and its future will be screened followed by cultural programmes. The

ceremony is expected to last about four hours of which Modi is scheduled

to be present for about 45 minutes.

“There will be delicious food. It is going to be very hot and humid, so we

have also arranged for adequate quantities of water,’’ said Minister Sunitha,

who is in charge of the feast.

“Three varieties of sweets including the jaggery-based chakkara pongal,

traditional Telugu snacks, a packet of juice, and a water bottle will be given

as packed lunch to people. There will be another delicious spread for VIPs

and VVIPs,” said Sunitha.

With just three days to go, earthmovers and thousands of men are at work

on the site, levelling fields and beating down muddy, barren stretches of land

into temporary roads and grounds for huge tents. Naidu’s government

signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Singapore to develop

Amaravati into a world-class capital city in December 2014. The Singapore

government, in turn, submitted a Capital Region Concept Master Plan, a

Capital City Master Plan and a Seed Capital Area Detailed Master Plan,

after which the decision to lay the foundation stone on October 22 was

taken.


According to estimates, the capital region will comprise a core “seed capital

area” of 16.9 sq km, which will house the government, business districts and

about 3 lakh people; a bigger capital city spread over 217 sq km; and a

capital region of 7,420 sq km. The construction of the seed capital area

alone is expected to cost Rs 20,000 crore.

Naidu and the TDP government is touting Amaravati as a one-of-its-kind

capital, a “grand city that matches the world’s capitals in style, aesthetics,

livability, connectivity, infrastructure and quality of life”.

Mahatma’s legacy: Khadi sales spike

Known for natural lustre and rough texture, Khadi strands of late have

turned livewire in more ways than one, due to increasing footfalls at khadi,

growing sales and demands for technological upgradation, decent payment

and working environs to weavers and bridling cost of the fibre. Debates

veer around whirring wheels of Charkhas. Leading from the front, Prime

Minister Narendra Modi, who had launched Khadi promotion blitz in

his talk shows on radio, waves a year ago, says the sales have almost

doubled and more and more people purchase Khadi items now.

Disputing the government’s claims, many say hype was being created by

raising bogey of sales. Khadi and village industries top rung officials, keeping

track of its sales and purchases across the country, wave ledgers to assert

that purchases might be even higher than what had been collated by them

so far.

In “Mann ki Baat” last year, Mr Modi had called upon people to buy at

least one Khadi garment. He recently recalled the appeal had made an

impact and sales have almost doubled and said it was not accomplished

through advertisements, but it is the manifestation of immense power of

masses and “what an experience”. He made it clear that he was not asking

people to become totally “Khaddhar dhari “ but everyone must purchase


some item of Khadi in coming Diwali. Mr Modi added that Khadi rebate

programme, which starts on October 2 for a month, must be encashed by

all and they should also patronise handlooms.

The Khadi craze was evident on this year October 2 when outlets across

the country clocked one day sale of Rs.20 crore. As a mark of obeisance

to the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, 48 offices of Khadi and

Village Industries Commission remained open and 7050 sales outlets made

brisk sales. The Khadi Bhandar at Regal building, here, touched sales

worth Rs.80 lakh on the Gandhi Jayanti day.

This has resulted in growth of Khadi sales and consequent growth in

production. Union Minister for MSME Kalraj Mishra said that after the

PM’s appeal, growth in sales rocketed to a 17.55% from October 2014

to March 2015, which is an almost three fold increase when compared to

the previous corresponding period. After the appeal, growth in production

increased by almost 6 times to 31.1% from October 2014 to March 2015

over the previous corresponding period. In 2014-15, Khadi production

has reached Rs. 880 crore registering an increase of around 8.5% over

2013-14.

CEO and Commissioner, KVIC, Arun Kumar Jha says the sale of the

Khadi Gram Udyog Bhawan, New Delhi, the departmental flagship outlet

of the KVIC increased around 125 per cent in subsequent fortnight soon

after the PM’s talk show.The total increase in sales during the period from

October 2014 to March 2015 was around 68 per cent in value terms. The

sale of Khadi which was at Rs.5.47 crore during the period October 2013

to March 2014 jumped to Rs.9.19 crore. According to him, the sale of

readymade items of Khadi Gram Udyog Bhawan,Connaught place,

increased phenomenally and the increase was around 86 per cent. All India

sale of Khadi which was Rs.581crore during the period October,2013 to


March,2014 jumped to Rs.750 crore during the period of October 2014

to March 2015. The increase was around 31 per cent upto March alone

According to official sources, the government introduced Market

Development Assistance (MDA) scheme giving full flexibility to the Khadi

Institutions to organise their production & sales activity in the best way

they considered appropriate. The MDA provided much needed boost to

the Khadi programme. The government provided Rs. 324.64 crore for

supporting Khadi Institutions (KIs) under various schemes during 2014-

15 which is an increase of around 36% over and above the support

provided by the Govt. in the preceding year i.e. 2013-14 which stood

around Rs. 239.17 crore.

Khadi, officials say, the proud legacy of Mahatma Gandhi and potent

tool of national freedom, is “ethical as well as ethnic”adding its USP

is natural, hand crafted, eco-friendly, bio-degradable and non-exploitive

fibre. It is a cloth woven by hand using handspun yarn only. Natural fibres

namely cotton, wool and silk are used in the production. Khadi is identified

by the direction of twist in yarn.In Khadi yarn twist direction is “S”. Usually

it is called left twist or anti- clockwise twist.

Currently,there are 1.42 lakh weavers and 8.62 lakh spinners in the country

and many demand decent returns to their skills. An estimate says that 9.60

lakh charkhas and 1.51 lakh looms churn out Khadi. Delhi University

Professor of Mathematics, Vinod Tyagi, who still weaves Khadi on charkha

and gives company to his mother in this task, says that the Khadi items

have become “very costly” and the price of a dhoti is like “ladies’

decent cotton dhoti”. Chennai based Ethiraj Gopal, an avid supporter

of Khadi, says that it should be more trendy and quality be refined further

to retain its crease for many days once it is starched properly. Mr Gopal,

an advocate by profession, said that he travels around the country and

feels that KVIC should make inroads in upscale markets and hotels for


sale of traditional food items –organic eatables as it has sales potential and

it would protect country’s ethnic food, having both medicinal and taste

qualities. Many people also call for strict monitoring of the Khadi quality to

checkmate entry of spurious Khadi and other KVIC items. Both on the

khadi prize and quality, KVIC CEO said that they were implementing stringent

norms to give Khadi brand only to quality products and “once sales volume

increases,prices will come down”.

KVIC was established in 1957 to leverage the unique characteristics of

Khadi, the fabric of freedom, for economic upliftment of rural artisans and

integrating the Khadi programme with the planning process of the country.

Assigned to KVIC were social objective of providing employment and

economic aim of producing saleable articles. Many say when the KVIC

was established, its main objective was to develop village and Khadi industry

but instead of vehicle of development, it has become a regulatory body sans

textile engineers, marketing experts, designers and quality testing

laboratories.

Officials say that in 2014-15, 2,223 institutions were engaged in the

implementation of Khadi programme under KVI Sector. During this period

the production of Khadi was around Rs. 879.98 crore and 11.06 lakh people

were engaged in the activity. The production of Khadi in quantitative term

was around 95.19 million sq. metre which is merely 0.15% of the entire

textile production of the country. If compared to Khadi, Wool and Silk

Sector of the country which is the traditional textile sector, the contribution

of Khadi sector is over 11%.

In terms of the Khadi production in 2014-15,U.P produced 25.23 per cent

of total production and its value was pegged at Rs.222.01 crore vis-a vis

other states like TN -10.72 per cent ,Rs.94.33 crore,WB 13.27 per cent,

value Rs.116.74 crore, Haryana 9.67 per cent, value Rs. 85.15 crore,


Rajasthan 5.82 per cent ,value Rs.51.18 crore. Figures include production

of Khadi –Cotton, Woolen and Silk.

Officials say schemes under Khadi include KVIC supported development

of Khadi programme through various Central Sector schemes- Market

Development Assistance (MDA), Interest Subsidy Eligibility Certificate

(ISEC) Scheme for Khadi and Polyvastra, Scheme of Fund for Regeneration

of Traditional Industries (SFURTI), Khadi Reform and Development

Programme (KRDP), Workshed Scheme for Khadi artisan,Aam Aadmi

Bima Yojana, Khadi Karigar Janashree Bima Yojana (JBY)), Strengthening

Infrastructure of Weak Khadi Institutions and Assistance for Marketing

Infrastructure Under the Raw Material Management scheme, in order to

ensure quality raw material for the new model Charkha programme, the

KVIC has set up up six Central Sliver Plants (CSPs) at Kuttur (Kerala),

Chitradurga (Karnataka), Sehore (MP), Etah & Rae Bareli (UP) and Hajipur

(Bihar) .

The total installed capacity of these plants is 4100 tonnes per annum and the

production in 2014-15 was around 2700 tonnes. KVIC set up these plants

in late 80s and early 90s with average investment of around Rs. 6.00 crore.

The present investment to set up a new plant of the existing installed capacity

is around Rs 12.00 crore however, these plants also have problem in their

economy of scale as a CSP should have installed capacity of 2000 ton per

annum per plant. Under its marketing initiatives for brand production, the

KVIC developed three brand names “Khadi”, “Sarvodaya” and “DesiI

Aahaar”. While the Khadi showcases premium and export oritented KVI

products , “Sarvodaya” serves to fulfil the needs of Fast Moving Consumers

(FMCs) to domestic market segments and “Desi Aahar” is meant for

marketing organic food items. Experts say that the Khadi should be a single

brand and that should be promoted instead of three brands.


“Like swaraj, khadi is our birthright, and it is our life-long duty to use that

only. Anyone who does not fulfil that duty is totally ignorant of what Swaraj

is. We cannot claim to have understood the meaning of swaraj till khadi

becomes as universal as currency.”, Mahatma Gandhi had said on promotion

of Khadi. Amid these fast growing developments and leapfrogging aspirations,

the Khadi sector faces a slew of challenges like limited technological

upgradation for optimising process of value addition with assured quality, no

scheme to strengthen and support production infrastructure of institutions/

units, no scheme available to provide long term design developmental input,

competition from Multi Nationals and Corporates, inadequate technical

manpower, lack of resources for aggressive advertisement and promotional

campaign and absence of enabling scheme to set up flagship stores.

Experts say developmental supports are needed for khadi and proposals

inter alia are engagement of technical manpower to carry out technological

upgradation of tools, implements and other productive infrastructure for

optimising the process of value addition with assured quality, innovation in

design and development of trendy products by engaging renowned designers

from National design institutes. They say there is an urgent need to develop

distinctive items with focus on younger generation which would also attract

high street fashion designers for production of items having high demand and

good returns, strengthening of marketing network available in the Khadi sector

by totally revamping and modernising to enable them to compete with best in

trade by providing all requisite facilities including information, knowledge and

expertise.

According to them, the sector must involve prominent individuals and bodies

who have shown interest in Khadi encouraging them to adopt areas, products,

traditional industries clusters, arrange marketing and popularize Khadi and

Village Industry products. The experts also seek opening of designers stores

in select cities abroad to showcase and promote Khadi and Village Industries


products there in a sustainable manner. They advocate setting up of a

professionally run organisation to fully realise the marketing potential of the

products produced in the sector by creating a demand pull situation.

Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana

Background

After agriculture, mining is the second largest employer in India. Mostof India’s minerals are located in forest areas inhabited by tribal,backward and deprived population. It can be argued, that the nation’sunemployment problem could have been solved to a great extent, andinclusive development achieved with exemplary standards, had thissector been accorded the importance it deserves.

The present government, under the visionary and dynamic leadershipof Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, amended the MMDR Act inearly 2015. Amid other significant improvements, the new Act addressedtwo root issues underlying the mining sector:

a) Reinvigorating the mining industry by bringing in transparency andlaying greater emphasis on exploration

b) Distributing the fruits of prosperity achieved through mining toaffected people for stable mining atmosphere

It is for the latter cause, that for the first time in the history of India, aseparate fund was earmarked and established exclusively for the socialand economic upliftment of mining affected people and places. TheMMDR Amendment Act 2015 provides for District Mineral Foundation,or DMF, and mandates that all State Governments have to establish aDMF in each district affected by mining operations. To preserve thevirtues of Cooperative Federalism, the Act empowered StateGovernments to frame rules pertaining to DMF.


Addressing the nation at large from the ramparts of Red Fort onIndependence Day 2015, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Modi ji announcedthat the government would introduce a scheme for the welfare of peopleand development of area affected by mining.

The Scheme

In September 2015, the Ministry of Mines has issued Guidelines for usingthe funds accruing to DMF. Called as the Pradhan Mantri Khanij KshetraKalyan Yojana (PMKKKY), this scheme will be binding on StateGovernments.

Encompassing all facets of development, social and economic, immediateand long-term, the Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana restson three main objectives:

1. To implement various developmental and welfare projects/programs in mining affected areas that complement the existingongoing schemes/projects of State and Central Government

2. To minimize/mitigate the adverse impacts, during and aftermining, on the environment, health and socio-economics ofpeople in mining districts; and

3. To ensure long-term sustainable livelihoods for the affectedpeople in mining areas.

The objective has been spelled out clearly so that the end goal remainsprominent in its clarity: causing substantial improvement in the qualityof life.

Highlights of the Scheme

Here are some pertinent facts concerning the scheme, which may comein handy for administrators, legislators and citizens concerned:


The Scheme is applicable with effect from January 12, 2015

Mining leases executed before 12th January, 2015 will have tocontribute an amount equal to 30% of the royalty payable bythem to the DMFs

Mining leases granted after 12th January, 2015 through auctionwill contribute an amount equivalent to 10% of the royaltypayable

The total fund generated under this scheme is expected to bearound Rs 6,000 crore per annum

The System in the Scheme

To ensure that PMKKKY serves to enhance lives of mining affectedpeople on a sustained basis, the Government envisaged that the fundsof DMF must also be spent in the most optimum way possible. Itintended that the PMKKKY should function as a self-sustaining systemof support, and not as one-time Government sop. Hence, it was crucialto guard this scheme against the trap of populist measures. Caveatshave therefore been installed to ascertain that important tasks arenot sacrificed at the hand of urgent tasks.

The scheme earmarks 60% of expenditure of this fund for highpriority areas, and 40% towards other priority areas. Areas includedunder each head comprise:

High Priority Areas Other Priority Areas

Drinking water supply Physical infrastructure

Environment preservation and pollution control measuresIrrigation

Healthcare Energy and WatershedDevelopment


Education Any other measures forenhancing environmental quality in miningdistrict

Welfare of Women and Children

Welfare of aged and disabled people

Skill development

Sanitation

Intended beneficiaries of the Scheme

Cutting out all ambiguities, the PMKKKY clearly lays out the definitionof:

1. Directly affected areas: Where, inter-alia, direct mining-relatedoperations such as excavation, mining, blasting, beneficiationand waste disposal etc. are located.

2. Indirectly affected areas: Where local population is adverselyaffected on account of economic, social and environmentalconsequences due to mining-related operations. These could bedeterioration of water, soil and air quality, reduction in streamflows and depletion of ground water etc.

3. Affected people/ communities: Families identified as ‘Affectedfamily’ and ‘Displaced family’ as per the Right to FairCompensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition,Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, and other familiesidentified in consultation with Gram Sabha.

In line with these definitions, it mandates the DMF to maintain a list ofpeople and places under these categories, who will be considered asthe actual beneficiaries of the PMKKKY scheme.


Special provisions for scheduled areas:

The process of utilization of PMKKKY funds shall be guided bythe provisions contained in Article 244 read with Schedule Vand Schedule VI to the Constitution relating to administrationof the Scheduled Areas and Tribal Areas and the Provisions ofthe Panchayats (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996and the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers(Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006. The Gram Sabha ofaffected villages to have major say in approval of plans andinspection of reports.

Other features of the scheme:

The corpus of PMKKKY should, preferably, be dovetailedwith the ongoing and existing welfare plans mooted byCentre/ State

An amount not exceeding 5% of the annual receipts ofthe Foundation subject to an upper limit fixed by stategovern men t may b e ut i l i sed f or ad min is trat ive ,supervisory and overhead costs of the Foundation

Staff/ manpower for implementing the PMKKKY schemeto be taken on contractual basis; no scope for permanentemployment

For mining affected areas which fall under two districts,or a welfare plan that involves peoples/ places outsidethe district of operation, clear rules have been laid outin the guidelines

All work/ contracts to be awarded in accordance withrules issued by State Governments


Transfer of funds to agencies/ beneficiaries directly to bankaccount

Each DMF to maintain a website, and make public all dataconcerning details of self, beneficiaries, funds collected,minutes of meetings, action taken reports, annual plans,status of ongoing projects etc.

The accounts of DMF to be audited every year, and includedin its Annual Report

DMFs to prepare Annual Reports within three months ofthe end of Financial Year, should be laid before StateLegislative Assembly and find place on its website

District-wise collection of Royalty in 2014-15

The district wise collection of mining royalty for 2014-15 for tenmineral rich states is given below. This gives planners and peoplea fair idea of the DMF collection they can expect in their district.And this is only the beginning, since auctions of new mines underthe revamped law is yet to begin.

Miles covered, and miles to go

As promised by the Prime Minister in his Independence Day speech,t he PM KKKY has b een d ev ised as t h e ded icat ed fu n d fordevelopment of mining related areas. The other provisions ofMMDR Amendment Act 2015 provide a facilitating and enablingenv i ron ment f or sc ien t i f i c , resp ons ib le , su st a in able an dtransparent mining to flourish.

Together, we strive to create a nation which rides on itsstrengths, and has people at its heart.
