In this regard, NCL's holding company, Coal India, and CIPET, Chennai, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

NCL, in collaboration with CIPET, held a two-day screening session at the Nigahi and Khadia projects to select candidates, and 345 qualified candidates were chosen for the skill development programme.

The remaining candidates will be chosen in subsequent rounds of screening.

NCL owns and operates ten highly mechanised opencast coal mines that produce 15% of the country's coal. In the previous fiscal year, the company produced over 115 million tonne (mt) of coal.
