Mine closure involves choosing a future use for land and planning how to implement it. The 21 October coal-sector release describes separate tools for those two stages of repurposing.
Correct answer: C — Supporting implementation pathways for selected repurposing projects. PRISM addresses the implementation stage after a suitable repurposing option is identified. This separates it from SUVIKALP’s evaluation and ranking function. In a process question, distinguish choosing what should be done from finding resources and examples for how to do it; the two tools are complementary rather than interchangeable. The Coal Controller Organisation developed SUVIKALP to evaluate and rank mine-repurposing options using several criteria. PRISM supports implementation pathways after an option is selected. The October release reported SKOCH Gold recognition received on 26 September 2026, so the report date is not the award date. Official source: Press Information Bureau
