India’s mining reforms ignore the livelihood and rehabilitation of those affected by the industry The reforms focus on increasing mineral production while remaining silent on the damaging effects of mining over the last few decades. AFP As the debate around the new farm laws rages on, the Indian government has gone ahead and cleared changes in the country’s mining laws, to push mineral extraction and production. Like farming, mining is another sector where the mining reforms, meant to boost the economy, are going to have large-scale consequences. The changes, according to the government, will have a positive impact on the sector and economy, but experts working with the mining-affected communities note that they could have a domino effect, with a negative impact on communities, human health, water bodies, environment or wildlife.
