 iFOREST is organising a state-level meeting in Raipur on repurposing mining land in Chhattisgarh. The meeting will bring together senior government officials, industry representatives, mining companies, researchers and other key stakeholders.

Participants will discuss opportunities for repurposing closed and soon-to-be-closed mining land, and the potential to advance low-carbon and green growth in the state. The discussion will focus on using mining land for renewable energy, green industries, MSMEs, logistics, local employment generation and sustainable economic development.
