i. Developing and designing a self-heating calorimetric apparatus will characterise coal from various coal mines based on their tendency to self-heating. ii. Provide valuable insight to the coal mining industry about the pressing fire risk of coal so that the former can be averted before any significant fire outbreak in the mines due to spontaneous combustion. iii. It will provide high-impact international publications to the Department. iv. Indigenisation of the new technology under the Government of India's "Make in India" flagship. v. The potential patentability of the fabricated prototype can be done. It can be used by mines operators, legislators, and researchers across the country to design the mine while ensuring the safety of men and materials.
