Development of mineral resources, economics of mining and rural employment generation

  • Published:
Journal of the Geological Society of India

Abstract

Dr. B.P. Radhakrishna in his Anthology of Editorials (Memois 51, 61 and 81) had covered wide range of topics such as Geoscience, Mineral Exploration & Exploitation, Mining Industry, Science, Impending Water Crisis in Bengaluru city, Climate and Monsoon, Natural Disasters, Extra-terrestrial Phenomena, outstanding contributions of some eminent persons and important subjects like rural employment, sanitation, environment and human waste disposal. On these subjects he had listed our failures with analysis of what went wrong. In the following pages I have tried to summarize and highlight with occasional comments on mineral exploration, resources, reserves, mining environment, economics of mining and on policy matters related to Acts and Rules published in JGSI.
