Transforming Mineral Wealth into Sustainable Welfare
"Through data-backed planning, 3-tier social audits, and direct community consultation, we prioritize safe drinking water, smart education, healthcare, and sustainable infrastructure across all 10 mining-affected blocks of Dhanbad."
Every rupee collected as royalty from mining leaseholders is systematically deployed to uplift local livelihoods, eliminate fluorosis through piped water schemes, modernize government schools with ICT smart classrooms, and construct all-weather rural roads.
