    After obtaining Diploma in Mining Engineering Diploma Engineer required


    to supervise operations involved in opencast mines, the number of opencast mines are
    increasing to enhance production rate and due to present policy of linking large
    opencast mines to the super thermal power plant. Thus Diploma engineer must have
    knowledge of unit operations involved. Type of machineries used their applicability and
    working, knowledge of explosive used and procedure for carrying out blasting operation
    in large opencast mines by deep hole blasting. All these are essential aspects are
    included in subject opencast mining in Third year of the programme.

    COURSE OUTCOMES:
    After undergoing the course of study the student shall be able to

    1. Supervise operations involved in the opencast mining both coal and non-coal.
    2. Supervise the operations of the equipment used in opencast mines.
    3. Select suitable explosive for deep hole blasting in large opencast mines.
    4. Supervise/carryout blasting operation to give the optimum results from the blast.

    Take proper care of environmental aspects, which may get affected due to
    blasting and other opencast mining activity.
