News India Live, Digital Desk: You must have often heard that Jharkhand is famous for coal mines. This land has been meeting the energy needs of the country for centuries. But now a very good news is coming, which is indicating that Jharkhand will not only brighten our present but can also help in making the future ‘green’. A recent study shows that about 45,000 hectares of land lying unused after coal mining in Jharkhand can be put to such use, which will help India move forward in achieving the ‘net-zero’ target. Isn’t this amazing?

What does this study say?

It has been said in this study that Jharkhand has such a large area, which should not be left idle after coal mining. Imagine, 45,000 hectares of land is not a small figure! We can see this as a huge opportunity for the future.

How will the fate of this land change?

This study suggests that this vacant land can be used in a number of ways, which will not only improve the environment but also create new employment opportunities for people:

  1. Agricultural land and forests: Some land can be made suitable for farming again, which will benefit local farmers. Also, by planting trees on a large scale it can be converted into dense forests. This will maintain environmental balance and help in absorbing carbon dioxide, which is very important for ‘Net-Zero’.
  2. Eco-Tourism: Some places can be developed as eco-tourism centres, which will boost the local economy.

India’s ‘Net-Zero’ dream will take off

India has set an ambitious target of ‘net-zero’ (net zero carbon emissions) by the year 2070. To achieve this goal we will have to make every possible effort. Proper utilization of this vacant land of Jharkhand can prove to be a game changer in achieving this big goal. This will not only take our country in an eco-friendly direction, but will also bring better lives and economic stability for local communities. This is not just reusing land, but building a brighter and cleaner future!
