Coal India Limited is the largest coal producer in India, producing over 403 million tonnes in 2008-2009, which accounted for 82% of India's coal production. Coal is found in 14 of India's 28 states, with total reserves estimated at 267 billion tonnes. Production has grown significantly over the years from 6 million tonnes in 1974-1975 to over 403 million tonnes in 2008-2009. Coal India is also pursuing initiatives like acquiring overseas coal assets and importing coal to meet India's increasing coal demand.
Laboratory study of the performance of chemical grinding additive on physical...karthikeyan srinivasan
This paper studies the effect of Chemical Grinding Additive (CGA) on physical properties of Composite Cement (CC) which is prepared by inter-grinding Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) with CGA and finally blending it with Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS). The result indicates that CC can be successfully produced equivalent to reference PPC by replacing PPC with 20% GGBS using CGA. Further to note, reduction in CO2 emission is achieved by lessening clinker factor from 0.60 to 0.48

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

17. • Extensive tree plantation programme is undertaken every
year by the subsidiaries of Coal India.
Avenue plantation, plantation on the OB dumps, plantation
around mines, residential colonies, available land is
undertaken in existing as well as new projects.
Coal India planted over 70 millions of plants since 1993-94
covering an estimated land area of around 28300 hectares.
Coal India is committed to continue plantation which is a
part of annual activities in each subsidiary.

57.25 sq. km (2000) to 69.30 sq. km (2005)
In Wardha Valley Coalfield, WCL, area of plantation has increased
from 11.48 sq. km (2005) to 14.05 sq. km (2008)
In Korba Coalfield, SECL, in Gevra & Dipka OCPs combined,
plantation area increased from 2.99 sq. km (2003) to 7.75 sq. km
(2008)
In North Karanpura Coalfield, CCL, in Ashoka & Piparwar OCPs

23. Performance of CIL is continuously improving quantitatively and qualitatively.
CIL had been conferred the Navratna status in October 2008.
CIL conferred with 'CEO with HR Orientation' award by Council of World HRD
Congress during Global HR Excellence Awards Ceremony 2010.
CIL won the ‘SCOPE Gold Trophy 2007-08 (Institutional category)’ for Excellence
and Outstanding Contribution to Public Sector Management.
CIL adopted several cost effective measures like manpower restructuring,
extensive use of computers, introduction of ERP-SAP, advance training to
employees to increase the learning ratio, increasing the adaptability with high
tech environment etc.
CIL is committed to follow the International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS).
CIL is looking for foreign collaboration to bring in proven technologies and
advance management skill.
Coal India is going for IPO:
24. IPO proposed in August 2010.
Public offering in Book Building: 10%
Employees Reservation: 1-2% (Provisional)
Future Land Losers: 2% (Provisional)
In deregulated environment, market is the best judge for
performance and market discounts all past and future
events, CIL is confident to get a high value quote in the
secondary market.
Initial Public Offer
As a part of liberalization process, CIL is going for proposed
disinvestments through Initial Public Offer (IPO).
25. As per NCDP, Coal India is required to meet the requirement of coal of
the country, if required, even by import.
Demand from works out to 721 Mte in 2011-12 against projected
production of 487 Mte leaving a gap of 235 Mte. This gap is to further
increase at 305 Mte in 2012-13.
Coal India has taken initiatives for Strategic Alliance with overseas
producers for augmenting availability of coal.
Coal India has also been taking initiatives for acquiring overseas
properties.
Coal India has been mandated by the Planning Commission to import 8
Mte of coal for utility sector, out of total import target of 35 Mt in the
next fiscal.
CIL’s venture for coal import
26. CIL will be required to bring 65% of the import in East Coast Port and
the remaining 35% in Western Coast.
Major initiatives have also been taken for upgrading infrastructures at
major Government ports at Vizag in east and Kandla in west coasts.
CIL is contemplating to be associated with this infrastructure building
exercise.
Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) of Indian Railway system, likely to be
operative from the middle of 12th Plan would also enhance hinterland
logistics capability.
CIL is contemplating following process for importing coal:
