After coal extraction, the journey of a mine does not end — it marks the beginning of ecological restoration and sustainable transformation.

The Parsa East & Kanta Basan (PEKB) Mine in Surguja, Chhattisgarh, stands as a remarkable example of this commitment. Once an active mining site, the area has now been transformed into a lush green landscape, reflecting how responsible mining practices and environmental conservation can go hand in hand.

Today, the PEKB Mine is a living testament to the fact that mine closure can pave the way for a greener, more sustainable future.

Coal gasification reflects the nation’s commitment to Aatmanirbhar Bharat, technological innovation, reduced import dependence, and the creation of a cleaner, low-carbon economy.

A sharp and timely piece by Shri S Mahendra Dev that eloquently highlights the transformative potential of India’s coal gasification mission: https://www.livemint.com/opinion/online-views/pmeac-chair-india-coal-gasification-plan-coal-net-zero-targeting-climate-change-sustainable-11780144791557.html
