The Indian mining sector has always been striving for achieving op�mal extrac�on and u�lisa�on of mineral resources under the constraints of deeper-horizon of mine workings, lower-level of mechaniza�on, smaller-scale of mines, stringent-provisions of safety and environmental regula�ons, poor-planning of infrastructure, stressed-management of surface rights, etc. Moreover, as India has adopted the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of United Na�on Organiza�on, mining companies must determine their focus, develop strategies and align their systems and processes with the environment, social and economic aspects of SDGs. These goals can be realised only through scien�fic, sustainable, produc�ve and effec�ve mining prac�ces with due a�en�on to design, mechanisa�on, safety and management aspects of mining.
The landscape of technological advancements and innova�ons is changing with the fast pace in every walk of life including the mining ac�vi�es. Numerous advances are being no�ced worldwide in the domains of mine methods, mechanisa�on, management & Safety to improve the capability, efficiency, effec�veness and reliability of mining systems. The adop�on and diffusion of these advancements will be the cornerstone for mining companies for nego�a�ng the issues of op�mal extrac�on under exis�ng geomining constraints and staying compe��ve. Therefore, to keep abreast of these advances in mining, the industries, researchers, academics, policy makers and other stakeholders should come together to interact, share, and collaborate for making Indian mining industry world-class.
In view of the above, CSIR-Central Ins�tute of Mining and Fuel Research (CSIR-CIMFR), Dhanbad; a premier R&D ins�tute in the country, in associa�on with the Ins�tu�on of Engineers, Dhanbad Chapter will be organising a Na�onal Conference on “ADVANCES IN MINING” (AIM-2020) during 14-15 February 2020 at CSIR-CIMFR, Dhanbad. The conference aims to provide an effec�ve common pla�orm for interac�ons and delibera�ons amongst all stakeholders about the recent advances in mining, exchange ideas, address the core issues of mining for further advancement, promote the growth and sustainable development of mining industries. It will also provide an update about the recent advancements in the area of mining research and its applica�on.

Dhanbad is called the Mining capital of India because of its proximity to major coal and metal mining belts. Dhanbad is a well-known city in mining communi�es due its deep roots in the field of mining. Tata Steel Limited, Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL) and Steel Authority of India (SAIL) are some of the companies who operate coal mines in the district. The city is the Headquarters of Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS) and the premier research ins�tute CSIR-Central Ins�tute of Mining and Fuel Research (CSIR-CIMFR). The engineering ins�tutes like Indian Ins�tute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad, Birsa Ins�tute of Technology (BIT), Sindri are located at Dhanbad.
Dhanbad is the second most populated city in the Indian state of Jharkhand. The city is well connected by rail network with rest of the country. Nearby airports are Durgapur, Kolkata, and Ranchi. Dhanbad has a very pleasant climate in the month of February when the maximum day temperature is around 20-22°C and nights cool down to 12-14°C.
Dhanbad: The Host City
CSIR-CIMFR, a cons�tuent laboratory under the aegis of Council of Scien�fic and Industrial Research (CSIR), Ministry of Science & Technology (Govt. of India) New Delhi, strives to provide R&D inputs for the en�re coal-energy chain encompassing explora�on, mining and u�liza�on i.e. “Mine to Market”. CSIR-CIMFR is mandated to innovate safe and economically viable technologies, to make the best use of available knowledgebase and to transfer know-how in line with Na�onal Missions. The laboratory also a�empts to develop mineral based industries to reach the targeted produc�on for the country's growth and energy security. This ins�tute has been assigned as a third-party evaluator for quality-assurance of thermal coal by the Ministry of Coal,thermal power units and coal companies. Since incep�on, this ins�tute is an important test-house to facilitate safety in mines by Ministry of Labour and Employment. It is located in the town of Dhanbad, known as Coal Capital of India, in Jharkhand state.

The Ins�tu�on of Engineers (India) or IEI is the largest mul�disciplinary professional body that encompasses 15 engineering disciplines and gives engineers a global pla�orm from which to share the professional interest. IEI has membership strength of over 0.8 million. Established in 1920, with its headquarters at 8 Gokhale Road, Kolkata - 700020, IEI has served the engineering fraternity for over nine decades. In this period of �me it has been inextricably linked with the history of modern-day engineering. In 1935, IEI was incorporated by Royal Charter and remains the only professional body in India to be accorded this honour. Today, its quest for professional excellence has given it a place of pride in almost every pres�gious and relevant organiza�on across the globe. IEI func�ons among professional engineers, academicians and research workers. It provides a vast array of technical, professional and suppor�ng services to the Government, Industries, Academia and the Engineering fraternity, opera�ng from 121 Centres located across the country. The Ins�tu�on has established R&D Centres at various loca�ons in the country and also provides grant-in-aid to its members to conduct research and development on engineering subjects.
