Researchers have urged policymakers to switch to green energy and economy in Odisha’s Angul – one of India’s largest coal producing districts – before power grade coal reserves are exhausted.
About:
Angul currently accounts for 12% of India’s and 56% of Odisha’s coal production.
The coal production in Angul is expected to increase nearly by three times in the next 10 years, reaching over 300 million metric tonnes (MMT) by 2033.
The sector has given direct employment to 1,68,000 — nearly 69% of them are informal.
