MINERALS IN MADHYA PRADESH

Mines and mineral s are the stepping -stones for the over all Economic Development of the Nation in general and State in particular. The State is richly endowed by nature with mineral wealth among which Coal, Limestone, Copper Ores, Manganese Ores, Bauxite, Dolomite, Fireclay, Ochre, Pyrophyllite-Diaspore predominates besides being the sole producer of Diamond and Slate in the Country. The State is also blessed with vast reserves of Coal Bed Methane. In the present scenario of Liberalization and Globalization of Indian Economy, new horizons and opportunities are opening up in the Mining Sector. In the prevailing situation, State of Madhya Pradesh is moving ahead for promoting rapid economical growth with a concept of optimum and scientific development of its mineral resources, so that the "Value Addition" takes place in the State.

Minerals play an important role in the industrial and economic development of the nation. The state of Madhya Pradesh situated in the heart of the nation, is endowed with rich mineral wealth. Mineral Resources Department is in pursuit of Exploration and Development of this national wealth. The state ranks fourth after Orissa, and , in term of mineral production. The state is the sole producer of diamond in the country. Madhya Pradesh stands first in the production of Copper Ore, Slate, Pyrophyllite and Diaspore. It stands second in the production of Rock Phosphate, Ochre and Calcite while stands third in producing Manganese Ore and Limestone. Presently 23 major and minor minerals are being p roduced in the state.
