*     Underground extraction of thick and difficult coal seams.

*   Underground extraction of contiguous seams/sections under weak and fragile parting by underpinning based method of mining.

*   Staggered development based method of mining for final exraction of critically thick coal seams standing on pillars and the development made along the roof horizon.

*   Stability analysis of underground structures on the basis of field studies and investigation on Physical & Numerical modelling.

*   In situ characterisation of roof rock mass using Borehole Indenter for assessment of strata behaviour during final extraction.

*   Optimisation of recovery from coal seams locked under surface/sub-surface features by Wide Stall Mining.

*   Prediction of amount and nature of abutment loading under varying overlying strata on the basis of empirical formulation.

*   Spatial measurement of deformation (underground/opencast) using Automatic Target Recognition system.

*   Workability/cuttability of coal seams.

*   Performance evaluation by advanced in situ instrumentation and monitoring.
