The Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana (PMKKKY) is implemented by the District Mineral Foundations (DMFs) of the respective districts using the funds accruing to the DMF.

The overall objectives of the PMKKKY scheme are:
(a) To implement developmental and welfare projects in mining-affected areas that complement existing State and Central Government schemes.
(b) To minimize the adverse impacts of mining on the environment, health, and socio-economic conditions.
(c) To ensure long-term sustainable livelihoods for affected people in mining regions.
