Health Facilities:
Health is one of the main basic service indicators, which need to be studied so as to know the quality of life in the area. But the villages have no medical facilities. Only a trained village level medical personnel (locally known as NM) visits the villages once in a month and distributes some free medicines. Situated nearby is the BIM-SAIL-Hospital for all. There is also a Government Hospital at Koira. The CESS Doctor comes to our Mines weekly for the treatment of employees. One Pharmacist is also available full time within the lease area to provide service. Apart from the aforementioned, our Doctor (MBBS) is visiting the surrounding area thrice in a month with a Team carrying a Testing Kit and Free Medicines.

- The main causes of Occupational Health Hazard in the opencast mines are dust and noise. A water sprinkling system will be fixed at several places to control the dust emission.
