Notes: The Union Minister of Coal and Mines launched the Mineral Exploration Hackathon and the National District Mineral Foundation (DMF) Portal in Hyderabad. This centralized platform provides data on 645 DMFs, enhancing transparency and tracking developments. DMFs, non-profit trusts established under the MMDR Amendment Act 2015, aim to benefit mining-affected areas. Funded by contributions from mineral concession holders, the portal offers centralized visibility, project oversight, dynamic analytics, and best practices for effective implementation.
