Establishing a fair, responsible and sustainable mica supply chain in India, free of child labor, remains the ultimate goal of RMI to be achieved by 2022. Thanks to the commitment and involvement of its 59 members, RMI has made significant progress in 2019 benefiting thousands who live and work in the mica belt in the states of Bihar and Jharkhand, validating the effectiveness of RMI’s holistic approach to addressing the root causes of child labor

Over the course of the three years since RMI’s inception, a number of significant milestones have been achieved on the journey to address the root causes leading to the presence of child labor in the mica supply chain. 2019 annual report shares details of our three key program pillars that work in unison to improve working conditions, empower local communities and establish legal frameworks for the mica sector.
