The objectives are (1) to convert fly ash overburdens to better substrates for plant growth; (2) to identify tree/undercover species used for afforestation based on the economic importance (herbaceous plants, foliage plants, fuel wood, pulp and paper, etc.); (3) to address environmental concerns suitably; (4) to convert ash ponds and townships in aesthetically superior greens thereby achieving eco
The goal is to develop a sustainable framework for training on technologies for conservation, reclamation, and refuse of natural resources.
