The Technology Innovation Hub of IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, TEXMiN, has inked a historic Memorandum of Understanding marking a watershed moment for the Indian mining industry. Formalizing the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Madhya Pradesh Government and the Madhya Pradesh State Mining Corporation Limited (MPSMCL). Presided over by Chief Minister Dr. the official acknowledgment of the at the “Mining Conclave 2.0 – Shaping the Future of Mining” in Katni, where Mohan Yadav met with industrial titans, senior government officials, state ministers, and more. 

Using creative technologies, sustainability programs, and open processes, the project aims at transforming mining operations in Madhya Pradesh. Using the state’s abundance of mineral resources as its foundation to build a , the initiative aims to show how responsibility and invention might live together. strategy for mining. Infrastructure that meets the demands of the industry as well as society. 

Prof. Sukumar Mishra, head of IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and chairman of the board, said the signing of the MOU was a major turning point. of directors of TEXMiN. Who supported a mining sector driven by technology and environmentally friendly? India’s mining sector Through this MOU, one move closer to an environmentally friendly, technically powered, and future-ready environment. Along with encouraging the usage of safe, smart, and ecologically friendly mining techniques, the cooperation with the Madhya Pradesh Government and MPSMCL will help the industry to expand. Apart from serving as role models for the rest of the country, they also help With the State’s abundant mineral resources, our goal is to create a mining system that balances our academic abilities, research capacity, and technical developments. He insisted that India’s position as a world leader in moral mining depends on this project.

Supporting this perspective, Prof. Dheeraj Kumar, Deputy Director of IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and Project Director of TEXMiN, stated that the collaboration aims to incorporate advanced technology. into mining education and research; integrating cutting-edge technologies into the mining value chain; mining will be made more than simply more effective, “our collaboration with The. The mining value chain should include blockchain technology and more in a more evident and strong way at every level. Efficiency; it is also about promoting long-term resiliency, openness, and inclusion. By working together, we may support data-driven discovery techniques, optimize mineral resources, and create the skills needed for a skilled, future-ready labor force. He also said that our emphasis on research and innovation would generate cutting-edge ideas in next-generation mining and clean energy. 

Fundamentally guiding the execution of the project are the five basic ideas. Top objectives of clever and sustainable mining will be safety, operational efficiency, and environmental accountability. Trust and openness will center on systems that promote fairness and accountability, therefore guaranteeing that stakeholders on all levels may rely on credible and verifiable processes. To help to maximize mineral resources and minimize waste, data-driven planning and application will be employed in resource optimization. Another characteristic is the creation of a workforce ready for the future; this will be a pillar of expert training in essential minerals, renewable energy, and advanced technologies. Research quality and creativity will finally help the project, therefore assisting in identifying solutions with the possibility to shape the future of Sustainable mining techniques and clean energy. 

The will of the Madhya Pradesh government to use its mineral wealth in a manner that helps the agreement and is ecologically sustainable shows the condition of the economy of the state. It compares favorably against worldwide innovation and sustainability benchmarks. With support from IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, the partnership aims to create a reproducible model suitable for other mineral-rich states in India. 

At the Mining Conclave 2.0, where decision-makers, corporate leaders, and experts exchanged a memorandum of understanding, the opportunities and obstacles facing the mining sector were debated. The conference emphasized the need of updating mining techniques to meet environmental and industrial needs by means of talks on major minerals and the move to clean energy.

Combining scholarly understanding with government foresight and state resources, the TEXMiN-Madhya Pradesh partnership embraces a holistic approach to creating a digital, adaptable, and globally competitive mining ecosystem. It also highlights how important it is that responsible mining leader India establish itself by using sustainability and technology together.
