Geological Survey of India finds 20 tonnes of gold in Odisha:

The Geological Survey of India (GSI) has discovered between 10 and 20 metric tonnes of gold reserves spread across Odisha’s Deogarh, Keonjhar, Sundargarh, and Nabarangpur districts. This discovery is expected to give a significant boost to India’s mining sector and reduce dependence on imported gold. While the reserves promise strong economic prospects, experts have cautioned the need for environmentally sustainable mining practices to ensure long-term benefits.
