BACKGROUND
In present world of globalization, no business can achieve the desired business
results without ensuring economic, social and environment sustainability. However,
unlike other industries that have choice of locating their projects at any geographical
location suitable to them, mining industry inevitably has to be where the minerals
occur. Therefore, the challenge of following sustainability principles gets significantly
magnified. This challenge gets further compounded by the fact that most of the
minerals are in forest, backward and tribal areas – where economic, social and other
infrastructures are conspicuous by their absence. In such settings, mining industry
has to take care of many diverse and compelling issues right from conservation of
biodiversity, wildlife, environment, etc.
Mining industry now is resolutely marching towards sustainable mining while
performing its dual role of meeting the domestic demand of raw materials as well as
of increasing its contribution in the international market. It is striving hard to acquire
the capability to deliver sustainable and responsible economic growth through R&D;
productivity enhancement; improved technology and conservation strategies. The
voluntary CSR and community welfare initiatives undertaken by the industry along
with the Health & Safety of the stakeholders is well recognized.
In order to motivate and recognize the efforts of mining industry for having
addressed these multi-dimensional issues in an exemplary manner, FIMI has
instituted FIMI’s Awards Scheme. There are nine awards in four categories, viz.
awards of Excellence, Environment, Health & Safety and Social Awareness which
are given annually. Each award carries a trophy and a certificate.
As a part of FIMI’s Golden Jubilee Year Celebrations, FIMI has decided to confer
the Golden Jubilee Award for Excellence, a one-time award, to one of the most
promising mines for achieving excellence consistently over the decade through
sustainable and responsible mining.

the deserving mines to recognize its best contribution to sustainable development,
consistently over the past 10 years.
Modalities of this award were decided by the Jury committee in its first meeting held
on 13th May, 2016. The modalities for short-listing the mines are provided below:

at least once.
b) Total number of FIMI Awards received (including those in other categories)
till date.
c) Mine showcasing consistent improvement during the last 10 years – in terms
of scientific mining, environment protection and management, socioeconomic development of the surrounding communities, mine closure, etc.
d) Special weightage will be given for exemplary Reclamation & Rehabilitation
efforts by the mine.
e) Mines meeting the above criteria to be shortlisted on the basis of analysis
of data available for past 25 years of FIMI Awards.
Based on the modalities set by the Jury, three mines were shortlisted to make their
presentation before the Jury Committee, highlighting the best practices at their mine.
