Anil Kumar Jha, Chairman, CIL delivered the Centennial Lecture at the Indian Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi.

Jha delivered a lecture on “The Current Challenges and Opportunities of Coal Mining in India”. He emphasized the important role that Coal India plays in the Energy Security of the nation. He added that CIL needed a lot of talented and brilliant mining engineers to minimize and eliminate the loss of foreign exchange on the import of non-coking coal.

He pointed out that though coal mining was a hard work, it gives immense satisfaction to see a lighted bulb in the remotest corner of the country. This is because a miner is working 600 m below the ground or in an open cast mine in more than 45 degree Celsius temperature ensuring that the energy needs of India are met.
