Critical minerals and rare earths are vitally important for a country's growth and development, as most nations are relying on them for EVs, electronic goods, mobile phones, computers, and defense equipment.
However, not all nations are blessed with these minerals; only a few are.
Though most nations understand the importance of supply chain management, it is necessary to create stockpiles of these minerals. Many nations, including the USA, EU, Australia, Japan, and South Korea, have already started programs for stockpiling.
This article also focuses on the stockpiling of critical minerals.
India should adopt a robust policy on stockpiling and also create a global alliance for stockpiling, perhaps through QUAD.
Furthermore, India should harness its mineral resources by boosting capabilities in mining, refining, and processing.
This article is important for GS 2 (International Relations), GS 1 (Distribution of Key Natural Resources), and GS 3.

Are we now outsourcing not just the act of writing but the very act of thinking?
Detailed and thought provoking article on how AI is colonising our cognitive ability also.
