Overview

A Performance Audit was conducted on Controls and Systems for Sustainable Mining in Karnataka to ascertain whether policies of the Government were monitored and implemented; the system of assessment, levy and collection of revenue was effective and efficient. The impact of mining on socio-economic and environment sectors has been discussed. The audit revealed a number of system and compliance deficiencies which are briefly discussed in this Report.

Management of mineral resources is the responsibility of both the Central and the State Governments in terms of entry 54 of the Union list and entry 23 and 50 of the State list of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India. The Department of Mines and Geology is responsible for the levy and collection of mineral receipts based on the production and despatch of minerals.

In the course of audit it was noticed that a committee for implementation and monitoring of Karnataka Mineral Policy (KMP), 2008 was formed in July 2009 under the chairmanship of the Secretary, Commerce and Industries Department. However, even after a lapse of three years of its formation, the Government has not formulated any time bound action plan to monitor the implementation of the KMP, so that the desired objectives of the policy could be achieved in a time bound manner.
