It is a complete mechanised mine making use of the latest technology to dig out diamonds from the ore.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This mine is owned by the National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC) which is a state-owned entity under the Ministry of Mines. It has about 200 employees working for it and produces 84,000 carats of diamonds every year. The NMDC commenced its mining operations in Panna in 1968. But it achieved success in the year 2011 when it found the biggest ever diamond of 37.68 carats in the Panna mines.
