Official reported District Mineral Foundation (DMF) Fund collection in India (between 2016-17). The dataset presents the national DMF Fund collection across mining districts of India. It includes a month-wise and state wise DMF Fund collection across mining districts of India (2016-17). Further, the file includes the month-wise and district-wise breakdown of DMF Fund collection across each state with a mining district across India. The dataset is organized as follows: Sheet 1 contains the state-wise, month-wise statistics for DMF Fund collection across India. Sheet 2 onwards have been categorized based on specific states. Each sheet (state level data) presents a further breakdown of the collected DMF Fund based on a month-wise and district-wise level. This project has been funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation SSH project and is related to the project: Coastal sand mining of heavy mineral sands: Contestations, resistance, and ecological distribution conflicts at HMS extraction frontiers across the world. Grant Number: 10001A_185148 (SWISSUbase study 20540).

This data file brings together fiscal data (statistics) on one worksheet in an attempt to show how the collection of contribution towards District Mineral Foundation Trust Funds picked up a pace over a certain time period. The fiscal figures on this data file are compiled from reliable publicly available data such as Periodic Status Report on Ministry of Mines website, Pradhan Mantri Khanij Kshetra Kalyan Yojana (A scheme to develop Mining affected area), Question and Answer sessions of Indian parliament, Question and Answer sessions of respective State Assemblies etc. The variables in this data file are as follows: "State / District": Name of States / Name of Districts (under respective state excel sheets) "Collection": DMF Contribution Collected "Utilisation": Utilisation of DMF Funds in respective state/ District (under respective state excel sheets) "Unspent": Unspent Balances lying within respective state / District (under respective state excel sheets) "Percent Utilisation": Utilisation of DMF Fund as Percent of Total DMF collection as on that date "Percent Unspent": Unspent Balance lying with DMF Trust as Percent of Total DMF collection as on that date These fiscal figures give researchers and analysts an idea on whether the DMF Fund connotes a substantial portion of state government’s development expenditure, whether the state or district exhibits a trend of delayed implementation and snail pace of contribution and spending etc.
