- The Central government has asked the states to step-up the spending under the District Mining Fund (DMF) programme.
- The move comes as just 24 % of the Rs 23,606-crore mopped up under the Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana (PMKKKY) was actually spent.
- The PMKKKY is aimed at providing welfare to those affected by mining operations.
- Under the programme, a portion of revenues (10-30 % of the royalty proceeds from the minerals) is earmarked for development activities in mining regions.
