Centre of Excellence and India's First Virtual Reality Mine Simulator
Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy inaugurated a Centre of Excellence under the National Critical Minerals Mission and India's first Virtual Reality Mine Simulator at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad. The development combines critical-mineral research with technology-based mine safety and workforce training, making it relevant for science and technology, mining, government initiatives and national-resource security sections of competitive examinations.
Centre of Excellence और भारत का पहला Virtual Reality Mine Simulator
केंद्रीय मंत्री जी. किशन रेड्डी ने IIT (ISM) Dhanbad में National Critical Minerals Mission के अंतर्गत Centre of Excellence तथा भारत के पहले Virtual Reality Mine Simulator का उद्घाटन किया। यह पहल critical-mineral research, mining technology, safety और workforce training से जुड़ी है।
Centre of Excellence under National Critical Minerals Mission
The Centre of Excellence is intended to function as a national research hub for critical minerals. Its scope covers different stages of the mineral cycle, including exploration, extraction, processing, recycling, reuse and waste-to-wealth activities.
National Critical Minerals Mission के अंतर्गत CoE
Centre of Excellence critical minerals के लिए national research hub के रूप में कार्य करेगा। इसके कार्यक्षेत्र में exploration, extraction, processing, recycling, reuse तथा waste-to-wealth जैसी गतिविधियां शामिल हैं।
International and Institutional Collaboration
The source mentions collaboration with industry partners and overseas universities including the University of Cambridge and St Petersburg University. Infrastructure support is also associated with IIT Gandhinagar, IIT BHU and CPI in the United Kingdom.
अंतरराष्ट्रीय सहयोग
इस पहल में industry partners के साथ University of Cambridge और St Petersburg University जैसे अंतरराष्ट्रीय संस्थानों के सहयोग का उल्लेख किया गया है। IIT Gandhinagar, IIT BHU और UK के CPI से infrastructure support भी जुड़ा है।
India's First VR Mine Simulator
The Virtual Reality Mine Simulator was developed by IIT (ISM) Dhanbad in collaboration with Coal India Limited and its subsidiaries. Its core purpose is to improve training for coal-mining safety and productivity.
भारत का पहला VR Mine Simulator
Virtual Reality Mine Simulator को IIT (ISM) Dhanbad ने Coal India Limited और उसकी subsidiaries के सहयोग से विकसित किया है। इसका उद्देश्य coal-mining safety तथा productivity training को अधिक प्रभावी बनाना है।
360-Degree Immersive Training
The system includes a 360-degree immersive VR theatre and more than 20 training modules. These modules focus on heavy-machinery operations and standard operating procedures related to safety.
360-Degree Immersive Training
Simulator में 360-degree immersive VR theatre और 20 से अधिक training modules हैं। इनका उपयोग heavy machinery operations और safety SOPs के प्रशिक्षण के लिए किया जाता है।
Expected Reduction in Training Time
An important examination figure is the expected reduction in training time by around 50 percent. Scenario-based assessment and certification can be carried out for employees at different levels, while virtual simulation can improve preparedness without exposing trainees to actual mine hazards during initial training.
Training Time में 50% कमी
इस पहल से training time लगभग 50 प्रतिशत कम होने की उम्मीद है। Scenario-based assessment और employee certification इसकी प्रमुख विशेषताएं हैं। Virtual environment में प्रशिक्षण मिलने से वास्तविक खदान के जोखिमों के बिना safety preparedness को बेहतर किया जा सकता है।
