Coal Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), under the guidance and supervision of Ministry of Coal, not only increased their production levels over time to meet the growing energy demands of the nation but have also demonstrated their commitment to the local environment by implementing a range of mitigation and sustainable measures.

The Coal PSUs have adopted the Miyawaki plantation method in its suitable command areas. The Miyawaki technique is a distinctive approach to afforestation and ecological restoration, pioneered by Japanese botanist Dr. Akira Miyawaki. Its primary goal is to enhance green cover within a limited area. This innovative method aims to establish a dense forest in just 10 years.

As a result, Over the past five years (FY 2019-20 to FY 2023-24 till January), Coal PSUs have planted more than 235 lakh saplings over an area exceeding 10,784 Ha, thus enhancing the carbon sink significantly. To monitor reclamation performance, Coal PSUs employs satellite surveillance.

The plantation program adopts diverse approach includes: – Fruit-bearing species, such as Jamun, Imli, Bel, Mango, Sitaphal etc. along with medicinal plants, not only contribute to biodiversity conservation but also provide additional socio-economic benefits to local communities. Herbal Plants such as Neem, Karanj, Aonla (Amla), etc. Timber Value Trees such as Sal, Teak, Shivan, Ghamar, Bamboo, Peltoforam, Babool, etc. Ornamental Plants such as Gulmohar, Kachnar, Amaltas, Peepal, Jharul, etc.

The plantation initiatives not only mitigate the ecological impact of mining activities but also contribute to the restoration of biodiversity, enhancement of ecosystem services, creating carbon sinks, providing livelihood opportunities for local communities and promotion of sustainable development. By leveraging scientific expertise, community engagement, and innovative methods like Miyawaki plantation, Coal PSUs are creating a legacy of green, resilient landscapes for future generations.
