<h1>Deucha Pachami Coal Project Begins in West Bengal with Bhumipuja; Aims for Major Economic Impact and Job Creation.</h1> The Deucha Pachami coal project in West Bengal's Birbhum district commenced with a Bhumipuja ceremony, marking the start of overburden removal. This project, involving the world's second-largest coal block, is expected to significantly impact the state with a capital expenditure of Rs 35,000 crore and create around one lakh jobs. Despite challenges like a thick basalt rock overburden, initial operations are underway on a 12-acre plot. The state government plans to explore coal gasification for areas unsuitable for conventional mining, aiming to maximize the use of coal reserves.
