Pralhad Joshi, the union minister of coal, mines and parliamentary affairs on Monday said that incentives will be given to the state governments for successful auctioning of mines and to those who have identified potential mineral blocks.
This is in an effort to inspire other states to perform better in the mining sector, he said.
As per the ministry, successful states will be rewarded during the National Conclave on Mines & Minerals in presence of the union home minister Amit Shah. The conclave is scheduled to be held in New Delhi on July 12.
