HOD Message
Welcome to the Department of Mining of PRIT (Dhanbad). The department was started with an initial intake of 120 students in a 3-Year Diploma course, subsequently approved by AICTE, Govt. of India, New Delhi.
Since its inception, the department has contributed — through its well-trained graduates and experienced faculty — in a very positive way in the areas of coal and non-coal mining with regard to management, planning, research and development. The department has the unique locational advantage of being in the middle of the country's prominent coal mining companies as well as various institutions and research organizations of national and international repute such as BCCL, CCL, ECL, CMPDIL, CIMFR, IIT (ISM), TATA STEEL Ltd., SAIL, NML etc.
The department has Laboratories with state-of-the-art facilities, namely Rock Mechanics, Mine Ventilation, Mine Environmental Engineering, Mine Systems, Mining Machinery, Mine Surveying and Mine Geology. Efforts are continuously being made for improvements in all aspects of curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities to maintain our position among the top league in the country.
