Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana (PMKKKY) Guidelines available to download in PDF format at mines.gov.in. The new PM Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana aims for welfare of areas and people affected by mining related operations, using the funds generated by District Mineral Foundations (DMFs). PMKKKY is a revolutionary and unprecedented scheme of its kind, which will transform the lives of people living in areas which are affected directly or indirectly by mining.
PM Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana (PMKKKY)
The objective of PMKKKY scheme will be:-
- to implement various developmental and welfare projects/programs in mining affected areas that complement the existing ongoing schemes/projects of State and Central Government;
- to minimize/mitigate the adverse impacts, during and after mining, on the environment, health and socio-economics of people in mining districts; and
- to ensure long-term sustainable livelihoods for the affected people in mining areas.
Care has been taken to include all aspects of living, to ensure substantial improvement in the quality of life. High priority areas like drinking water supply, health care, sanitation, education, skill development, women and child care, welfare of aged and disabled people, skill development and environment conservation will get at least 60 % share of the funds.
For creating a supportive and conducive living environment, balance funds will be spent on making roads, bridges, railways, waterways projects, irrigation and alternative energy sources. This way, government is facilitating mainstreaming of the people from lower strata of society, tribals and forest-dwellers who have no wherewithal and are affected the most from mining activities.
