Mines Ministry to Set Up Program Mgmt Unit for PMKKKY Implementation

The Ministry of Mines is set to establish a Program Management Unit (PMU) to streamline the development of areas impacted by mining activities and ensure efficient coordination with state governments for the successful implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana (PMKKKY).

Launched in 2025, PMKKKY aims to support the welfare of regions and communities affected by mining, utilising funds from District Mineral Foundations (DMFs) under the Mining Act. The central government has instructed state governments to integrate PMKKKY into their DMF regulations for effective implementation.

To enhance the program’s efficiency, the Ministry of Mines plans to hire a consulting firm to establish the PMU. This unit will oversee the development of mining-affected areas and facilitate smooth coordination with state governments and DMF districts, ensuring the program's goals are met.

The ministry also updated the PMKKKY guidelines in 2024 to broaden the scheme's impact, focusing on sustainable and comprehensive development in mining-impacted regions. The new guidelines emphasise that 70 per cent of DMF funds should be directed towards the directly affected areas while prioritising development projects in aspirational districts and blocks as part of the national development strategy.
