Five days training programme on ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND COMPLIANCE ASSURANCE IN MINES

The Center for Science and Environment (CSE) is conducting a five-day training programme aimed at giving practical exposure to participants on Environmental Management and Compliance in Mines for mining and mineral industry from 25–29 June 2018.

The minerals sector is a key driver of the country’s industrial growth. However, it has brought in its wake severe environmental repercussions and social conflicts. One of the greatest challenges, therefore, is how to make mining environmentally and socially acceptable.

There is a genuine need to develop the capacity of those involved in the mining industry, including environmental consultants, mining professionals, project proponents, compliance authorities, academics and NGOs to understand the issues, and identify and implement solutions for the overall interest of communities and the nation.
