ECL Uses AI Drones for Environmental Monitoring

Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL) is using special drones with artificial intelligence to help take care of the environment around their coal mines.

These drones take detailed pictures and collect data to check how well plants are growing and if the land is healing after mining.

This helps ECL make sure they are following environmental rules and doing their part to keep the area green and healthy.

The drones work with other high-tech tools to make sure the information is accurate and useful for future planning.

The project is happening in the Sonepur Bazari Area, where there is a lot of mining activity, and it aims to reduce pollution from coal dust.
