1 .Koyla Shakti

(General Studies-III (250 marks)Technology, Economic Development, Biodiversity, Environment, Security, and Disaster Management)

 is the name of the Smart Coal Analytics Dashboard (SCAD), a major digital initiative launched by the Ministry of Coal, Government of India.

This platform is designed to serve as a unified digital interface for the real-time monitoring and analysis of the entire coal sector's operations, spanning from the mine all the way to the market.

Its primary objective is to significantly enhance transparency, operational efficiency, and coordination by integrating diverse data sources related to coal production, demand, logistics, and dispatch.

By centralizing this information, Koyla Shakti facilitates data-driven decision-making, helps optimize the supply chain, and ensures better accountability among all stakeholders, aligning with the broader 'Digital India' vision for governance.
