Chhattisgarh Positions Itself as Hub for Critical Minerals
Chhattisgarh wants to play a bigger role in supplying important minerals.
These minerals can be used for defence, clean energy and artificial intelligence.
During a roadshow, Chief Minister Sai launched two online portals.
One portal will help some housing-scheme beneficiaries buy sand at lower prices.
It is also meant to make the process easier to understand.
The Tin Portal in Dantewada will help tribal families receive fair prices for tin.
The system is intended to make tin buying and selling more open.
Agreements were also signed to support mineral-sector finance and teach people how to cut and polish corundum.
