N2  - Coal is one of the most essential resources of a country, widely used for power generation and as an industrial raw material. India ranks third in coal production, however, coal production is declining and several underground mines are closed every year. There are more than 290 abandoned or closed coal mines in India. In the closure of the mines, many people lost their livelihood. Mining does not mean permanent loss of land for other uses; on the other hand, it holds the potential for altered and improved use. The government of India and the Maharashtra state government are promoting the reuse of abandoned mines for tourism
