Professional Journey

Over the past several years, I have worked closely with mining operations and regulatory practices in India. During this time, I observed a growing need for clear, technically accurate, and experience-based information related to mining, environmental protection, and mineral governance.

Many publicly available sources oversimplify or misinterpret mining-related topics. This motivated me to create a platform where complex subjects could be explained in a structured, factual, and field-oriented manner.

Purpose of Mine Mitra

Mine Mitra was created with a simple objective:
to make reliable mining and environmental knowledge accessible to students, professionals, and anyone interested in the mining sector.

Through this platform, I aim to:

  • Explain mining concepts using real-world industry understanding
  • Simplify Indian mining laws, safety regulations, and environmental policies
  • Share well-researched articles on issues such as illegal mining, land degradation, and sustainable resource management

All content published on Mine Mitra is written with a strong emphasis on accuracy, clarity, and responsible information sharing.
