As NITs, an Institute of National Importance, the Institute has a responsibility of providing high quality technical education in Engineering and Technology to produce competent technical manpower for the country. The institute offers B. Tech. programme in twelve disciplines of Engineering and Technology along with the Research programme leading to M. Tech. and Ph. D. degree. ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT The Department of Mining Engineering has been started since 2013 with the present Director, Professor S. K. Das as its Head of the Department. Professor Das served Bharat Coking Coal Limited, a subsidiary of Coal India Limited for five years in various capacities before joining Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad as an Assistant Professor where he worked for 12 years. In 1997, he joined Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur and served in various capacities such as Associate Professor, Professor and Head of the Department during the period 1997-2011.The course curriculum for the B.

OBJECTIVES Mining Engineering is an engineering discipline that involves the practice, the theory, the science, the technology, and application of extracting and processing minerals from a naturally occurring environment. Mineral extraction is essential to modern society. Mining activities by their nature cause a disturbance of the environment in and around which the minerals are located. Mining engineers must therefore be concerned not only with the production and processing of mineral commodities, but also with the mitigation of damage to the environment as a result of that production and processing. Mining engineers are consulted for virtually every stage of a mining operation. Mining engineers working in an established mine work as an engineer for operations improvement, further mineral exploration, and operation capitalization by determining where in the mine to add equipment and personnel. The engineer also works in supervision and management, or as an equipment and mineral salesperson. In addition to engineering and operations, the mining engineer work as an environmental, health and safety manager or design engineer. The objectives of this symposium is to bridge the gap between the academia and the industry and to update the knowledge and skills of the technical teachers and mining engineers in the current and emerging issues related to the mining industry. One- day Symposium on Emerging Trends in Mining Industry February 17, 2014 Sponsored by Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme (TEQIP-II) Organized by COURSE CONTENT The following topics, but not limited to, are proposed to be covered during the symposium: Global Issues and Challenges in Mining Industry Occupational health and safety in Mining Industry Environmental Management in Mining Industry Mine Surveying Mining Geology Surface Mining Mining Machinery Mining Legislation Mining Economics Advance Exploration Techniques Department of Mining Engineering Dr. B.
