I am greatly indebted to Dr. U. K. Dey (H. O. D. Mining Engg.)

who encouraged me to take practical training at Incline Mine ,Sudamdih
(BCCL) in SUDAMDIH. He give me precise knowledge about Mining
methods which I found very useful in my training period in Coal Mines.

I am also very grateful to Mr. B. Mahto (Colliery Manager),

Mr. P.N. Tiwary (Project officer), Mr. J.S.Jaiswal (Safety Officer ) &
Mr .D.K. Sinha(A.C.M) for their co-operation and suggestion during
training period.

Lastly I acknowledge my indebtedness to

all colliery employees to whom & was in touch during the training
period.

I gathered lots of information regarding underground mines (both

development & depillaring) under the guidance of the mining officials

of the Incline Mine Sudamdih.

At last it could be concluded that mines of Sudamdih comprise Total

Manpower of 1018 including officials with a monthly production of 3730 tons
in 2010-11.

It was one of the best time of my life that I spent during my vocational training
,as it helped me to understand the mining with the practical approach.
