Hint: We have to know that a public sector undertakes for mining of uranium and processing of uranium. The ores are operated at Jaduguda, Bhatin, Narwapahar, Banduhurang, and Turamdih.

Complete step by step answer:
Uranium Corporation of India is the public sector that takes care of mining and milling of uranium ore in India. Uranium Corporation of India comes under the Department of Atomic Energy for mining of uranium and uranium processing.
Jaduguda is the first uranium mine of India and its operations were started in 1967. This mine is found in Jharkhand. Jaduguda process plant is present near to the mine that is used for uranium ore processing. The ore that is obtained from Bhatin and Narwapahar mines is also processed in Jaduguda.
Bhatin mine is located three kilometers away from Jaduguda. It has similar infrastructure with mine of Jaduguda.
The first modern mine of the country is Narwapahar.
Turamdih is found 24 kilometers to the west of Jaduguda. Turamdih processing plant was started to treat ore from Turamdih, Banduhurang, and Mohudin mines.
Uranium reserves are also located in Andhra Pradesh and in Cuddapah district construction of an underground mine has started.
Copper, Diamond and Manganese comes from Madhya Pradesh.
