Main Body

Large scale coal mining regions depend on coal for water scavenging and economic activities. Hence unturned shift from coal to renewable will have significant impact on human development of coal producing regions.

Case of coal industry:

Employment: Coal industry employs 26 lakhs workers. However, in states like Odisha, the contribution of coal to workforce is even higher in certain districts. Loss of employment will impact education, health, etc.

Wages: Land and labour normally high (est. 50000 in district mineral foundation (DMF)); from here to 10000s UP return as tags; from forest 300s UP to Udaan gains as basis.

Function: Infused in state govt as loss; govt estimate can wealth, education is key floor.

Major challenges for financing human development arise; CSK queuing by coal India's on legislation; personnel workforce challenges.

Ways forward:

No resource curse - sustainable energy decentralises; larger number of peoples benefit
No resource curse - is less incentive for wealth renewable
Use pollution reduction
Better flow and asset; better law and asset

Function infused in state govt as loss; major challenges for financing human development arise; CSK queuing by coal India's on legislation and personnel workforce.

Ways forward:

1. No resource curse - sustainable energy decentralises benefits to larger number of peoples

2. Less incentive for wealth from renewable (different from coal)

3. Use pollution reduction

4. Better flow and asset; better law and asset

Thus: continued shift away from coal will lead to challenges in short term, but long term benefits.

Way forward: Unlike DMF making in future-proofed coal display.
