Sustainable mining is need of hour to fulfil the increasing energy demand of the country and at the same time reduction in rate of carbon emission at utmost priority. Any mining project has significant health, safety, and environmental issues and thus sustainable solutions for all these issues need to be addressed. Currently, the mining practitioners, and industry bodies facing multiple challenges before to maintain the requirement of energy demand of the country and address of the environmental issues through sustainable and innovative mining practices. This book covers the latest advancement in the process, technology, equipment, etc for adopting sustainable mining practices. It will offer an adequate resource to all the mining and associated academicians and industry professionals to gain the knowledge of latest tools and solutions for sustainable mining.

The proposed book will be chaptered based on the themes like Environmental Monitoring & Management., Safety & health, operations & planning, automation & digitalization, waste management, and new tools and technologies for sustainable mining. Many case studies of different types of mines will be demonstrated to know the actual practice of the mine and their typical solutions.
