About Department
USHA MARTIN UNIVERSITY, Ranchi, began to offer B.Tech Mining Engineering programme in 2019. It has emerged as a premier institute of learning in Jharkhand. Our nationally-accredited program is the only one of its kind in Jharkhand. It will provide you with the skills and hands-on experience needed to become part of an underground or open-pit mine engineering team anywhere in the world, The Department pioneered in offering various subjects to students including rock mechanics, geostatistics, GIS & remote sensing, GPS, reliability and quality engineering, safety engineering, environmental science and technology, industrial management, operations research, numerical methods, computer programming, and network applications, and it makes continuous efforts to absorb and disseminate new concepts. As such, mining is one of the most hazardous jobs, and the safety of those working in underground mines is the most important consideration.
The state of Jharkhand has been blessed by Mother Nature with rich and diverse mineral resources amounting to nearly 40% of the total national mineral reserves and 27 % of total Coal reserves available in India. (Some of the abundant minerals include Limestone, Dolomite, Manganese, Mica, China clay, Fire clay, Quartz, Feldspar, Gold, pyroxene, and Bauxite). It has maximum coal reserves. It occupies 2nd position in Iron and 3rd position in copper ore reserves. Presently, the annual production of Jharkhand is above 160 million tonne of coal & various types of minerals. In monetary terms, it is worth Rs.150 billion and generates mineral revenue to the tune of about Rs. 35 billion. Jharkhand is the sole producer of
