Abstract
This study focuses on the application of innovative techniques for sustainable environmental
management in mines. It highlights the importance of minerals as finite and non-renewable
natural resources and the role of the mining sector in catering to global energy
and industrial needs. It also describes the challenges of waste generation in mining
and the need for responsible extraction practices to contribute to national and
community development. It emphasizes the significance of the mining industry in
India as a core part of the economy.
The study delves into waste dump management, exploring the use of coir mats and
grass seeds for aesthetic and sustainable plant growth. The adoption of Internet
of Things (IoT) technology is proposed for real-time monitoring and management of
vegetation in mining areas which includes the use of sensor technology, cloud computing
and advanced analytics for ecological monitoring, particularly in forest environments.
The study also addresses the need for real-time technology to enhance vegetation,
to protect wildlife and to improve the livelihoods of tribal communities.
