CSIR-CIMFR organises various programmes during the event.

Cleaning drive undertaken by the staffs of CSIR-CIMFR under the leadership of Prof Arvind Kumar Mishra, Director CSIR-CIMFR

This innovative approach developed by CSIR-CIMFR, aims to enhance safety and operational efficiency in mining processes.

The course included a series of lectures on the importance of coal and hydrocarbons as energy resources and their fundamentals, focusing on the need for sustainable exploration.

Dr Samiran Dutta expressed that in the present scenario, global warming has forced the policymakers to re-evaluate the energy security and our mother earth needs to be compensated for the exploitations. For this, he described the significance of a proper mine closure plan.

Prof. Arvind Kumar Mishra, Director, CSIR-CIMFR, emphasised the crucial role of mining in the energy sector and pointed out how, during the COVID-19 pandemic, even regions like Dhanbad saw cleaner air, while mining operations continued.

This achievement highlights India’s growing expertise in tunnelling operations under extreme geological conditions, setting a benchmark for similar projects worldwide.
