So, the\nwidening of the mining industry is crucial for developing industries and\nnations as the rise in infrastructure development is growing. Demand for iron,\nsteel and coal is set to continue the growth expectations for residential and\ncommercial buildings and coal for energy generation. Coal accounts for 55% of\nthe country\u2019s need for energy. We are depleting the natural resources and the\nenvironment. And as per the EIA notification, 2006, these industries require\nprior Environmental Clearance to decrease the load on the environment and\npreserve it for the future.
