    Bhubaneswar/Konark, Odisha, 18.01.2025: The Ministry of Mines, in collaboration with the Government of Odisha, has set up the DMF (District Mineral Foundation) Exhibition at the iconic Sun Temple, Konark. The exhibition, which is running from 18th to 21st January 2025, is focused on empowering mining-affected communities through sustainable development. Ms. Farida M. Naik, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Mines, inaugurated the exhibition in the presence of officers from Ministry of Mines , NALCO and OMC.

    The exhibition, with the theme of “Empowering Communities by Sustainable Development”, features 18 vibrant stalls showcasing the work of DMF-supported Self-Help Groups (SHGs), Geological Survey of India (GSI), Hindustan Copper Limited (HCL), NALCO, HZL/Vedanta, and the Odisha Government. These stalls display an impressive array of local crafts, innovative livelihood projects, and community-driven initiatives, highlighting how DMF is playing a pivotal role in transforming the lives of communities and fostering self-reliance through sustainable practices.

    During her speech, Ms. Naik highlighted the Ministry’s strong commitment to achieving sustainable and inclusive growth in mining-affected regions. She commended the contributions of the Odisha Government, corporate partners, and other stakeholders who have actively participated in driving impactful initiatives by DMF.

    Set against the historical grandeur of the Sun Temple, the exhibition not only celebrates modern sustainable development but also connects with the region’s rich cultural heritage. The exhibition has attracted participation from local communities, industry representatives, and government officials, providing a dynamic platform for SHGs to share their success stories and inspire future collaborations.

    This exhibition underscores the Ministry of Mines’ ongoing efforts to uplift mining-affected regions by implementing sustainable practices, promoting holistic community growth, and ensuring long-term positive change.
