After a lot of brainstorming, IBM have prepared a road map for way forward, infrastructure needs, manpower requirement, re-organization of regional & Zonal offices IBM due to notification of 31 MCDR minerals as minor minerals and submitted to Ministry in December 2015. Year 2015-16, a milestone in reforms in the mineral sector, was a year of challenge for Indian Bureau of Mines to demonstrate its significance. IBM has come out with flying colors in moulding itself and carving its future road map. As a sequel to implementation of Report on review and reorganization of territorial jurisdiction of Zonal/ Regional offices and redistribution of manpower, Ministry conveyed in principle approval for opening up of 2 Regional Offices of IBM at Raipur in Chhattisgarh and Gandhinagar in the state of Gujarat. Office Building of IBM Bhubaneswar office was inaugurated & dedicated to the Nation. Addressing to the environmental aspects of the mining areas, Ministry of Mines through IBM, rolled out SDF for mining sector at Sukinda Chromite Mine of TISCO & Donimalai Iron Ore Mine of NMDC. IBM is in the process for establishing a system of star rating of mines based on SDF parameters initiated with designing the templates. MMDR Amendment Act, 2015 initiated new era of transparency in mineral concessions. IBM responded to dispension of new regulatory regime by providing technical inputs for initiating Auction Process, Average sale value for concerned minerals for the Auction, handholding the State Govts., drafting sub-legislation, identifying blocks for regional exploration etc. IBM participated in the Committee constituted to examine pending applications for mineral concessions at the time of MMDR Amendment Act, 2015 and in the Committee constituted to examine exploration reports from the point of view of their amenability to auction mineral blocks. I IBM assumed Proactive Role to curb illegal mining with the help of Space Technology and initiated (i) Project “Sudoor Drishti” after signing of MOU with NRSC at Hyderabad and (ii) Development of Mining Surveillance System with the help of BISAG, Gujarat under Digital India Programme of DEITY. Remote Sensing Techniques are being utilized to generate triggers under these projects. The ambitious Project of IBM “Mining Tenement System”, aimed at developing an online National Mineral Information System for investors by linking Central and State organizations engaged in administration of mineral resources in the country, is slowly progressing towards logical end for selecting System Integrator. The bid evaluation process is in progress. To promote awareness among mine owners towards the need for conservation of minerals and preservation of environment in mining areas, IBM is encouraging Mining Industry to organize MEMC week throughout India thereby prompting industry for adoption of environment protection measures and SDF implementation. IBM is Nations data bank on mines and minerals. IBM updates National Mineral Inventory every five years. The Process for NMI Updation as on 1.4.2015 has been initiated by organizing a stakeholders conference at IBM HQ. Regional Office Jabalpur obtained ISO certification which has brought the tally to nine ISO certified Regional offices. IBM has prepared five sub sector development Plans for important minerals like Chromite, Copper, Bauxite etc. On the Industry front, the cumulative growth for the year 2015-16 as against corresponding period of previous year stands at + 2.2%. The Production of important minerals that showed positive growth during March 2016 over March 2015 include : Iron Ore (40.2%), Magnesite (32.9%), Copper Conc. (28.6%), Lead Conc.(20.2%), Gold (19.5%), Chromite (13.5%), Bauxite (11.9%), Diamond (11.6%) and Limestone (10.1%). IBM is ready to perform its role entrusted vide new charter of functions, as the National Technical Regulator, National Mineral Information Repository, Capacity Builder, promoting research, providing technical consultancy in respect of the mining sector, proactively and effectively. II III CHAPTER – I Highlights of 2015-16 Inspected 1633 Mines (including 703 inspections for approval of Mining Plans/Schemes of Mining/Mine Closure Plans). 121 Mining Plans, 490 Schemes of Mining, 28 Final Mine Closure plan disposed. Issued 1928 violations in respect of 737 mines and prosecutions launched against 34 mine owners for non-compliance of provisions of MCDR, 1988. Suspended mining operations under rule 13(2), and 45 of MCDR, 1988 in 89 cases and suspension orders were revoked in 44 cases. Seventeen cases were recommended to State Governments for termination of leases. As per amended Rule 45 of MCDR 1988, registration numbers have been allotted to 8708 lessees.

IBM manual on appraisal of mining plan 2014 and IBM Manual of Inspections have been prepared and uploaded in to IBM website for their implementation. To sensitize the importance of mineral conservation and protection of environment, organised 12 Mines Environment and Mineral Conservation Weeks in non-fuel mines pan India in which 749 mines participated. Conducted Regional Mineral Development Study (RMDS) of two clusters covering 8 Manganese Mines in Madhya Pradesh. Updation of NMI as on 1.4.2015 and Updation of RP/PL/ ML data as on 31.3.2016 was in progress. Updated 100 Multi-mineral leasehold maps for the states of Andhra Pradesh (12), Tamil Nadu (86) and Kerala (2). 1 | Annual report 2015 - 16 To encourage value addition and mineral conservation, carried out 56 Ore Dressing Investigations, 35,376 Chemical Analysis & 2,423 Mineralogical Examinations. Two Technical Consultancy (TC) Assignments and one Mining Research (MR) Assignment completed. As part of the capacity building of human resources, conducted 19 training courses for the industry, State Governments employees, IBM employees etc including three exclusively for personnel from the NER States. Released 21 statistical and technical publications including Monthly Statistics of Mineral Production (MSMP), Bulletin on Mineral Information (BMI), Indian Mineral Industry at Glance, Bulletin on MLs & PLs, Indian Mineral Year Book and Statistical Profile of Minerals.
