[Goanet] Is the Goan citizen getting a fair share, if any, from Goa's mineral wealth ?

Can someone on Goanet enlighten us readers about the basis on which the mine owners in Goa received the right to exploit the states mineral wealth.

 

What is the basis on which this wealth is shared between state & lease owner.

 

Was any windfall tax imposed on the mine owners to claim a share of their astronomical profits during the last boom.

 

Finally what is the constitutional basis on such mine owners to continue their ownership of mineral assets when all over the country such wealth is in the hands of the state corporations.
