[00:00:03]Get your pops with that.

[00:00:21]Kiku [music] board capacity TV The East West Group of Institution Bangalore The course come light through Indian Nursing Council.

[00:00:37]Feel a little bit apply that education loan.

[00:00:53]The Kumbu open cast mining.

[00:01:14]There are many kinds of scientific.

[00:01:16]Uh Scientific it doesn't mean only for open cast.

[00:01:20]Scientific it even meant for this thing uh the underground mining as well.

[00:01:26]The technology what we have been used all those days.

[00:01:30]That is so uh do not 100% scientifically has been done. But it is some science has been introduced in that also. But it's just that you need to bring it into a proper way of mining and then especially bring the safety measures for the miners. So when you do something to you know, protect the livelihood especially to protect the lives of the miners and then to take out extract the coal in a proper way, and then help the environment. That is scientific.

[00:02:03]It need not be only through open cast. Even the underground mining also can be done scientifically. So, for this uh I believe that your question is about the open cast. So, yes, no doubt, open cast is quite difficult because the seam is quite very deep down, so when the depth is too high it's next to impossible open cast because I I if I'm not mistaken uh if it is within 10 m the depth, it's still feasible for open cast, but our depth is more than 10 m. It's sometime even 100 m. So, this is not feasible for open cast mining in East Jaintia Hills, but still I believe that those who have already got the license they know the reality of it, and as of now we have not seen that this contribute to the people.

[00:02:58]Has the scientific mining actually started? Yes, it's already started.

[00:03:03]Scientific in the sense as I've said that previously, the old practice also it is a scientific, but not 100%.

[00:03:11]But recently the uh a few license has been uh you know, given uh when it comes to open mining, open cast mining. So, this open cast is already started. Few portion where the block uh some block in East Jaintia Hills, uh two block or three block has already started.

[00:03:29]So, this uh thing which have already started uh it's quite difficult.

[00:03:34]Lots of challenges for the owner.

[00:03:36]So, that's why uh we request the government and the authorities to do the needful by giving us a a different way of mining.

[00:03:47]Uh previously they call uh what we have done they call it a pothole mining.

[00:03:52]Yes, when we look into different different act that a few you know changes need to be done. And same way of mining if can be introduced.

[00:04:03]Where we can call it underground mining.

[00:04:06]So I remember that we used to talk about tunnel mining. When that also is more tunnel mining also it has a different term.

[00:04:14]So for us the most feasible mining is the underground. So for this we need to find out and we need expert to give us the suggestion so that we can prepare that what needs to be done so that the government will give us the you know the rights to go about this thing.

[00:04:34]To go ahead with the underground mining.

[00:04:36]So I believe that the day will come.

[00:04:38]No, but the government what they have promised they delivered.

[00:04:41]Because why I say this, a few person they already got a license for open cast mining.

[00:04:47]But after they got a license then they realize this is not feasible. The government says that they will do the needful and we have seen they even give license to few and some of the you know applicant that paperwork is still on processing.

[00:05:04]So those three four who already got the license after they start then they realize this could not be happening. It might not be possible in this gentle hills and different part of the state.

[00:05:16]So that's why we have a different mind now after realizing this that we should try something different which is feasible in our area.

[00:05:26]So it might be feasible in different areas of the state but when it comes to this gentle hills this is not feasible and we have to try the alternative and different way of mining and the best way after discussing with many we come to a solution that underground mining is the best and with a few major steps needs to be taken so that the safety of the miners has to be taken care.

[00:05:50]And then treatment of water and then protect the environment. That is what we need to do.

[00:05:57]Mornings are always busy. Everything feels fast. I hear mom shouting and I'm trying not to be late. Outside, Shalom is already awake. Cars move slowly.

[00:06:10]Horns are loud. It feels like everyone is in a hurry. Then the STEMS [music] bus comes in.

[00:06:16]Bright and yellow.

[00:06:18]Always on time. The kids take a wave [music] and I feel okay. Inside we laugh and sing. We share snacks. We help each other with homework. It feels nice.

[00:06:29]My parents know I'm safe through the STEMS app on mama's phone.

[00:06:34]Because this bus isn't [music] just a ride.

[00:06:37]It takes us to school, good friends, and a little bit of home. This is STEMS. Our ride. Our future.
