Speaker Sir, the need of the hour is energy security. For that reason, we have already imported nearly 235 million tonnes of coal which includes coking coal and non-substituted coal. Having said that, as far as pollution is concerned, our coal companies including Coal India Limited and all the subsidiary companies are taking care of plantation and other things. As far as this particular question is concerned, it is related to the power sector. But I appreciate the hon. Member’s concern about pollution and we will consult with the Ministry of Power. SHRIMATI MEENAKASHI LEKHI (NEW DELHI): Sir, it is about collieries also. We are using some old technologies. You can take, for example, the process of sedimentation to clean up coal. I think India’s energy security requires that we use coal, we increase the production of coal and we do forestation in those areas. But simultaneously, using better technologies and localised technologies from Indian institutes etc. is what is needed in managing collieries as well. 27-11-2019 Sh/rjn Uncorrected/Not for publication 3 SHRI PRALHAD JOSHI: As far as managing collieries is concerned, all our PSUs are trying to adopt whatever upgraded technology is available all over the world and we are also monitoring it. Even in the answer, we have mentioned how we are trying to increase the productivity with the upgraded technology. (1105/RSG/ASA) At the same time, we are producing coal and supplying to various sectors including power sector and other sectors, which are both regulated and unregulated sectors; they have to think of the technology and how to reduce pollution. So, to basically reduce pollution, the Power Ministry and the people who are using coal have to think about the technology. Surface miners and all such technologies are being used now. SHRIMATI KANIMOZHI KARUNANIDHI (THOOTHUKKUDI): I would like to ask the hon. Minister the extent of losses suffered by India’s exchequer due to the decline in coal output in the past three years. I would also like to know the States which have faced the decline and what losses the Tamil Nadu Government is facing. SHRI PRALHAD JOSHI: As far as the total coal import is concerned, we have imported 235 million tonnes of coal last year. By that, we have lost nearly about Rs. 1,71,000 crore of foreign exchange on that. The Government is very serious about increasing the production of coal. As far as the loss that the Tamil Nadu Government has incurred because of coal import is concerned, I would ascertain and come back to you.

  • India – Dera Sucha Sauda – Sikh – Congress
    Country Advice India Dera Sucha Sauda – Sikh – Congress – 2007 clashes 8 December 2009 1 Please provide background information on Sikhs and the Dera Sacha Sauda sect. Is this a Sikh organization? The Dera Sacha Sauda (DSS) website provides information on the organisation stating that “Sacha Sauda is not a new religion, cult, sect or wave” instead is a “spiritual activity by which God is worshipped under the guidance of Satguru”: Sacha Sauda is not a new religion, cult, sect or wave. Sacha Sauda is that spiritual activity by which God is worshipped under the guidance of Satguru... Many saints and seers incarnated in this mortal world and inspired us to do this Sacha Sauda and became the guiding lights of spirtuality. These saints and seers were knowers of this supreme science and tried to make this mystical subject easy for the common man. One such torchbearer of spirituality was Beparwah Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj who did the most noble of services to mankind by establishing in1948 the spiritual college of Dera Sacha Sauda in order to save people from the complexities, malpractices and superficial rituals that had been afflicting religion and for the salvation of souls. 1 The website also outlines the organisation’s principles which indicate a progressive outlook respecting all religions equally and jettisoning certain orthodoxies and rituals. A former member of the sect is likely to have some knowledge of these principles: 1. In Dera Sacha Sauda all religions are equally honoured and welcomed. 2. Dera Sacha Sauda believes in humanity as the greatest religion and is involved in the true service of humanity.
