Rajasthan Deploys Geo-fencing Tech to Curb Illegal Sand Mining

In an effort to combat illegal mining activities, the Rajasthan mining department is set to implement geo-fencing technology, which was recently included in the state’s newly approved mining policy. This initiative is designed to strengthen compliance in areas vulnerable to illegal mining.

An official stated that geo-fencing would play a crucial role in monitoring high-risk areas, while GPS tracking systems would be installed at check posts to improve oversight. Additionally, seized sand would be transported through the e-Ravanna system to ensure transparency.

The policy also requires the issuance of online royalty receipts, which aims to reduce the circulation of fake receipts. Furthermore, the vigilance wing will be integrated with the divisional mining wing, enabling the department of mines and geology to utilise advanced technologies such as Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS), drones, and other modern tools.
