About the organization:
The Indian Bureau of Mines (IBM) established in 1948, is a multi-disciplinary government organisation under the Department of Mines, Ministry of Mines, engaged in promotion of conservation, scientific development of mineral resources and protection of environment in mines other than coal, petroleum & natural gas, atomic minerals and minor minerals. From a small beginning as a purely advisory body, the IBM has emerged into a premier national organisation involved deeply into the various aspects of the mineral industry. The current functions of IBM include promoting conservation of mineral resources by way of inspection of mines, geological studies, scrutiny and approval of mining plans and mining schemes, conducting environmental studies and environment related activities, evolving technologies for upgradation of low grade ores and identifying avenues for their utilisation, preparation of feasibility reports for mining and beneficiation projects , preparation of minerals maps and National Mineral Inventory of minerals resources; providing technical consultancy services to mineral industry, and functioning as a data bank for mines and minerals, and preparing of technical and statistical publications. Headed by the Controller General, IBM has six technical divisions with its head quarters at Nagpur. There is a Modern Mineral Processing Laboratory and Pilot Plant established with the assistance of United Nations Development Programme at Nagpur. IBM has 3 Zonal Offices, 12 Regional Offices and 2 Sub-Regional Offices , 2 Regional Ore Dressing Laboratories and Pilot Plants spread over the Country. The IBM offices are located at Ajmer Bangalore, Bhubaneshwar, Kolkata, Chennai, Dehra Dun, Goa, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jabalpur, Nagpur, Nellore, Ranchi, and Udaipur; and the Pilot plants & Ore Dressing Laboratories at Ajmer, Bangalore, and Nagpur. The primary mission of Indian Bureau of Mines is to promote systematic and scientific development of mineral resources of the country (both onshore and offshore), through regulatory inspections of the mines, approval of mining plans and environment management plans to ensure minimal adverse impact on environment. Some of the key aspects in carrying out our mission include : To conduct regulatory inspections of mines under the statute; To approve mining plans, schemes and mine closure plans having regard to conservation of minerals and protection of environment; To play a pro-active role in minimising adverse impact of mining on environment by undertaking environmental assessment studies on regional basis; To promote awareness about restoration and rehabilitation of mined out areas through exhibitions and audiovisual media; To advise the Government on matters in regard to the mineral industry , relating to environment protection and pollution control, export and import policies, trade, mineral legislation, fiscal incentives and related matters; To conduct suo moto techno-economic field studies in mining , geology, mineral processing and environmental aspects including analysis of ore and minerals and to promote R & D activities in these areas; To provide technical consultancy services on promotional basis within the country and abroad in the field of mining , geology, mineral processing and environment; To collect, collate and maintain database on exploration, prospecting, mines and minerals and to bring out publications / bulletins highlighting the problems and prospects of mining industry; To provide training to the scientific, technical and other cadres of the department and persons from the mining industry and other agencies for human resource development.Indian Bureau of Mines was set up on 1 st March,1948. Initially IBM functioned purely as an advisory body. It helped government in framing various rules like Mines & Minerals (Regulation & Development ) Act, 1948, Mineral Concession Rules, 1949 and Petroleum Concession Rules, 1949. IBM was given a set of functions in 1950 and in accordance with it, the inspection of mines and mineral prospects became a regular activity. By 1953 IBM was given an additional function of undertaking detailed exploration of mineral deposits. Among the minerals explored by IBM were Iron Ore, Limestone, Dolomite, Coal, Copper, Tungsten. Later Mineral Conservation & Development Rules ,1955 and Mining Leases (Modification of Terms),1956 were framed. An ore dressing laboratory was set up at Delhi in 1955. With the passage of time the activities of IBM grew in depth and extent like Technical Consultancy and preparation of mineral maps leading to complete inventory of mineral resources. With its pool of mining engineers , geologists and ore dressing engineers it covered a wide variety of needs of the mining industry. Various publications related to mining and mineral industries were brought out. Offices were set up in the different parts of the country close to major mining centers. In the last decade, with the change in the policy of Government, two very important activities were undertaken by IBM. The first being the processing and approval of mining plans and schemes of mining for all the mines in the country and second one being the implementation of rules for the protection of environment . IBM accepted this challenge and has been successful in promoting the awareness about protection of environment in the mines through the ” Mines Environment & Conservation Week”. IBM also started imparting training to the industry personnel in the preparation of mining plans and also in the other fields. Modern Mineral Processing Laboratory, Analytical Laboratory and Pilot Plants were set up at Nagpur, Ajmer and Bangalore. IBM lost no time in realising the potential of information technology and entered into the agreement with BRGM of France in setting up ” Mineral Resources Intelligence System ” and ” Technical Management Information System” in HQ and its 3 zonal & 12 regional offices. In a nutshell , the IBM has been able to promote awareness amongst all sections of the mining industry, necessity and advantages of systematic mining and conservation of minerals and protection of environment.. The results of its ore dressing investigations have formed the basis of new commercial beneficiation plants and thus enlarged the mineral resource base. The IBM’s clientele seeking technical consultancy covers a wide spectrum of small and large mines and many public sector organisations. IBM has been able to provide useful information to the industry through its publications and has been recognised as the Mines and Minerals Data Bank of the country.To promote systematic and scientific development of mineral resources of the country (both onshore and offshore) To approve mining plans, schemes and mine closure plans having regard to conservation of minerals and protection of environment.
