Odisha Cabinet Approves Welfare Push In Mining Areas Via DMF Fund

Bhubaneswar: In a significant move to support mining-affected families, the Odisha Cabinet on Thursday approved a proposal to carry out all developmental and welfare activities under the District Mineral Foundation (DMF) fund in saturation mode within a 5 km radius of mining areas.

This decision aims to provide comprehensive relief to families impacted by mining operations, who have not only lost their land but also their livelihoods and identity due to environmental degradation.

The Odisha District Mineral Foundation Rules, 2015, were enacted to address the challenges faced by these families. To further mitigate the adverse effects of mining, the Central Government established the DMF fund, which is utilized for the welfare of affected communities. Recently, the Central Government introduced necessary amendments to the existing rules, making the DMF more people-centric and incorporating several new activities that were previously unavailable.

Under the new decision, all developmental and welfare activities under the DMF fund will be implemented in saturation mode within a 5 km radius of mining lease areas.

The directly affected area has been expanded from 10 km to 15 km, while the indirectly affected area is capped at 25 km. Improved provisions include livelihood support, skill development, and agricultural assistance for mining-affected families. Additionally, the list of activities in affected areas will be determined solely by the DMF Trust, ensuring no external interference.

This decision reflects the State Government’s commitment to addressing the challenges faced by mining-affected communities and ensuring their holistic development.
