Recently announced National Mineral Policy, 2019 has also been placed suitably in relevant chapters. Keeping in mind the desired goal i.e. socio-economic development of the country, social security legislations related to mine workers and their family and legislations related to environmental protection for sustainable development have been discussed in separate chapters. Salient features of different legislations including amendments upto 2019 are discussed and analysed in the back drop of critically contribution made in social, environmental and economic development inter alia intergeneration equity of the country by mining and allied industries. An effort has also been made to find out gaps and possible approach for bridging them in the last chapter of the book devoted to Musing and Need of the day under Epilogue. In short the author presented the existing status and also comprehensive overview of all aspects of mining vis a vis development within the country's recent mineral policy and up-dated legislative framework.
