Gondwana Coalfields. Tertiary Coal: Tertiary Coalfields, Lignite, Peat Mineral and power resource :Distribution and utilisation GEO-A-DSE-B-6-08TH - GEOGRAPHY OF INDIA Distribution of Coal in India – Gondwana Coal: Gondwana Coalfields. Tertiary Coal: Tertiary Coalfields, Lignite, Peat. Distribution of Coal in India ● Gondwana coal fields [250 million years old] ● Tertiary coal fields [15 – 60 million years old] ● Gondwana coal makes up to 98 per cent of the total reserves and 99 per cent of the production of coal in India. Satpuras, denudation [weathering + erosion] has exposed coal bearing Gondwana strata. ● The carbon content in Gondwana coal [250 million years old] is less compared to the Carboniferous coal [350 million years old][Almost Absent in India] because of its much younger age. ● Gondwana coal forms India’s metallurgical grade as well as superior quality coal. ● The Damuda series (i.e. Lower Gondwana) possesses the best worked coalfields accounting for 80 per cent of the total coal production in India. 80 out of 113 Indian coalfields are located in the rock systems of the Damuda series [lower Gondwana Age]. ● Coking as well as non-coking and bituminous as well as sub-bituminous coal are obtained from Gondwana coal fields. ● Anthracite is generally not found in the Gondwana coal fields. ● The volatile compounds and ash (usually 13 – 30 per cent) and doesn’t allow Carbon percentage to rise above 55 to 60 per cent. [It requires few million years more if the quality has to get better. Remember Gondwana coal is 100 million years younger than Carboniferous coal]. ● Gondwana coal is free from moisture, but it contains Sulphur and Phosphorous. ● These basins occur in the valleys of certain rivers viz., the Damodar (Jharkhand-West Bengal); the Mahanadi (Chhattisgarh-Odisha); the Son (Madhya Pradesh Jharkhand); the Godavari and the Wardha (Maharashtra-Andhra Pradesh); the Indravati, the Narmada, the Koel, the Panch, the Kanhan and many more. Distribution of Gondwana Coal in India ● First coal mine was opened in 1774 at Raniganj in West Bengal. ● Coal industry was nationalized in 1973-74. [The present government made some serious changes during the last year [2015] by allowing private sector to play a bigger role in coal production]. ● India is now the third largest coal producer in the world after China and the USA. ● Gondwana Coalfields == exclusively found in the Peninsular plateau of India. Gondwana Coalfields in Chhattisgarh Coalfield Extent Korba coalfield Korba district. Birampur coalfield Surguja district.

A brief outline of the company’s CSR Policy, including overview of projects or programs proposed to be undertaken and a reference to the web-link to the CSR policy and projects or programs: The mines of South Eastern Coalfields Limited are located in different parts of the States of Chhattisgarh & Madhya Pradesh, and are relatively in isolated areas with little contact to the outside society. Coal mining has profound impact on the people living in and around the areas where the mines are established. The obvious impact of the introduction of any production activity in such areas changes the traditional lifestyle of the original inhabitants and indigenous communities and also changes the socio- economic profile of the Area. Hence, the primary beneficiaries of CSR should be land oustees, Project Affected Persons (PAPs) and those staying within the radius of 25 Kms of SECL establishment. Under privileged section of the society living in different parts of states in which the company is operating should be secondary beneficiaries. In view of the above, a CSR Policy has been approved by Coal India Limited for all its subsidiaries and is available on the company’s website at http://www.secl-cil.in/forms/list.aspx?lid=745 The key areas of activities covered in 2017-18 under CIL CSR Policy are as below: a) Healthcare programs like conducting village health camps, construction of special units in hospitals etc.

  • Impact of Coal Mining on Environment: a Study of Raniganj and Jharia Coal Field in India Sribas Goswami1
    Impact of Coal Mining on Environment: A Study of Raniganj and Jharia Coal Field in India Sribas Goswami1 Abstract Coal mining adversely affects the eco-system as a whole. On the unstable earth; the unresting mankind constantly uses a variety of resources for their daily lives. Coal is recognized to have been the main source of energy in India for many decades and contributes to nearly 27% of the world’s commercial energy requirement. Coal is mainly mined using two methods – surface or ‘opencast’ and underground mining. The geological condition determines the method of mining. Coal mining is usually associated with the degradation of natural resources and the destruction of habitat. This causes invasive species to occupy the area, thus posing a threat to biodiversity. Huge quantities of waste material are produced by several mining activities in the coal mining region. If proper care is not taken for waste disposal, mining will degrade the surrounding environment. The method of waste disposal affects land, water and air and in turns the quality of life of the people in the adjacent areas. This paper throws light on the burning issues of coal mines and its impact on the environment. Keywords: coal mining, development, displacement, explosive, pollution Introduction: Mining activity puts tremendous pressure on local flora and fauna, particularly where division of forest land for mining takes place. The effect of mining on ground water level, silting of surrounding water bodies and land are also of great concern. Coal mining contributes greatly towards the economic development of the nation, although it also has a great impact upon human health.

  • CHALLENGES in EFFICIENT WATER MANAGEMENT in DAMODAR RIVER VALLEY - ROLE of DVC 1 2 Dipankar Chaudhuri ; Satyabrata Banerjee
    CHALLENGES IN EFFICIENT WATER MANAGEMENT IN DAMODAR RIVER VALLEY - ROLE OF DVC 1 2 Dipankar Chaudhuri ; Satyabrata Banerjee Abstract The Damodar River Valley has an extensive history of developmental and planning activities since 1863. DVC was formed in the year 1948 by the act of Parliament to carry out the responsibilities for monitoring and developing this large watershed in an integrated manner. It is well aware that all the projects, planned originally could not be implemented till date by the DVC and the participatory states. Again, silt depositions in the existing reservoirs and channels due to erosions at the upper valley have reduced their respective storage and flowing capacities remarkably. On the other hand, demand of water has been increased many folds within the valley due to growth of industries, population etc. With passing of time, socio- economic and political condition of the valley has also changed a lot. So, considering the different constraints, DVC is trying to manage all its statutory obligations with its limitations. Performances of the operations in the different fields of activities like flood moderation, irrigation, municipal and irrigation water supply, Hydropower etc. have been studied elaborately in this article. Lots of new commendable initiatives to restore the lost-capacities and to increase the storage facilities have also been discussed. A Master Plan of the ecofriendly sustainable developmental activities of the valley in the different projected scenarios has already been prepared by DVC which has also been described in brief. Some scopes have been identified to take up a few new small Hydro schemes at different locations in the upper valley.
