SUVIKALP- Mine Repurposing Tool; Transforming Closed and Abandoned Mines into Productive Assets

The Coal Controller Organisation under the Ministry of Coal has developed SUVIKALP, a digital decision-support platform to scientifically repurpose closed and abandoned mines.

• SUVIKALP aligns with the Mining Plan Guidelines for Coal and Lignite Mine, 2025.
• The platform employs a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making methodology based on TOPSIS to rank repurposing options.
• SUVIKALP integrates RECLAIM, a Community Engagement and Development Framework, to incorporate local priorities.
• PRISM (Post-Mining Repurposing Implementation Strategic Model) provides structured implementation pathways and a knowledge repository.
