WELCOME ADDRESS
The Hon. Secretary welcomed all the DGMS officials and all the

1. GENERAL TALK ON “MINING AFTER 2020 – NATIONAL STEEL POLICY
–
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES”
Dr. Meda Venkataiah briefed General talk on “Mining after 2020-
National Steel Policy –
Employment opportunities”. Mining is the largest source of
employment in remote and rural
regions next only to agriculture. Mining results in a positive
impact on the socio-economic
development of local communities and employment of rural
youth.
Mining involves identifying and extracting mineral resources hidden
in the earth, which are
of no value unless extracted. Thus, mining creates primary value
out of nothing and further
leads to value addition through mineral beneficiation. In the
process, it generates huge
employment opportunities; which intern leads to improvement in
social-economic status of
the communities and inclusive growth in the economy. He also
stressed the impact of so
many working mines which are going to be non-operational w.e.f. 1st
April 2020. There may
be impact of closure of many working mines beyond that date, upon
the employment
opportunities, raw material availability to the value chain, etc to
some period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To, The Members Mines Safety Association Karnataka (MSAK) Hosapete,
Ballari District, Karnataka Opinion We have audited the
accompanying financial statements of Mines Safety Association
Karnataka (MSAK) (“the Association”), Hosapete, Ballari District,
Karnataka, that comprises the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2020,
the Income & Expenditure Account for the year then ended and
the annexed significant accounting policies. In our opinion and to
the best of our information and according to the explanations given
to us, the
aforesaid financial statements read with notes thereto, are
prepared, in all material respects, in
accordance with the Karnataka Societies Registration Act, 1960 and
give a true and fair view of the
state of affairs of the Association as at March 31, 2020 and its
deficit (excess of expenditure over
income) for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing (SAs) issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). Our responsibilities
under those standards are further
described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of
financial statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Association in accordance with the code
of Ethics issued by the ICAI and
we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with the code of Ethics. We believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion on the financial statements.
Responsibilities of Management and those charged with Governance
for the Financial Statements The Executive Committee of members of
MSAK is responsible for the preparation of these financial
statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the
requirements of the Karnataka
Societies Registration Act, 1960 and generally accepted accounting
principles and to provide for such
internal controls as the Executive Committee determines it
necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Executive Committee is
responsible for assessing the
Association’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,
as applicable, matters related to
going concern and using going concern basis of accounting unless
the Executive Committee either
intends to liquidate the Association or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do
so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the
Association’s financial reporting
process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error, and to issue an auditor’s
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high
level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards
on Auditing (SAs) issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India will always detect a
material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken
on the basis of these financial statements.
As a part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgement and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive
to those risks, and obtain
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement fraud is higher than one
resulting from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the
audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for
the purpose of expressing an
opinion on effectiveness of the Association’s internal
controls.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting
estimates, if any, and related disclosures made by the Executive
Committee.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the Executive Committee’s use
of the going concern basis
of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a
material uncertainty exists
relating to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on
the Association’s ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw our attention in our auditor’s report to the related
disclosures in the financial
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our
auditor’s report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Association to cease to continue
as a going concern.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among
other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings,
including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that
we have complied with
relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to
communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to
bear on our independence, and
where applicable, related safeguards.
