helped the DGMS and other regulatory agencies to framework Safety Standards on blasting activities in the
Internet survey through “Google Scholar” showed extensive global references of Dr. Pal Roy's work on rock blasting technology. In India and abroad, most of the educational institutions like IITK, IITB, IIT-ISM, IIEST, NIITs' refer the books (a) “Rock Blasting Effects and Operations” & (b) "Blasting in Ground Excavations and Mines" to the students of Mining & Civil Engineering Departments as Text cum Reference books. Practicing mining engineers generally use “Technical Guidelines" on Controlled Blasting (Opencast & Underground mines; BG Panels)” published in 1993, 2002 & 2008 in their First Class Coal Competency (FCC Coal) Examination undertaken by the Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS).
