Rajasthan Mines dept achieves Rs 7,513 crore revenue with 23 pc growth rate. Rajasthan Principal Secretary T. Ravikant stressed the need for strict recovery efforts, particularly for dues not under legal stay, and called for proactive legal measures to lift court-imposed stays where applicable. He reiterated that the Mines Department is a key revenue-generating body for the state government, and efforts must be intensified to maximise revenue collection. He issued clear directives: including zero tolerance for laxity in revenue recovery, 100 per cent achievement of collection targets, prioritisation of pending assessments, strict follow-up on MoU-related commitments, regular coordination with stakeholders and timely responses to Legislative queries and Assembly matters. He also instructed that monthly meetings of district-level committees, chaired by the District Collector, be conducted without fail to address local mining-related issues effectively. He directed officers to complete royalty assessments, error closures, and other pending tasks within 7 to 15 days, with regular progress reports submitted for review. He urged officers to prioritise responses to legislative queries and ensure that information requested by the government is submitted promptly. He assured that the monitoring mechanism at the headquarters level has been strengthened. With rigorous monitoring, targeted recovery efforts and strengthened administrative coordination, the mines department is committed to maximising revenue collection and ensuring transparency in mining operations.
