By Sudipta Pal. This article appeared in the booklet “Adhikar Bhabnay Shramik”, published by APDR. A history of the 240 year-old Raniganj Coalfield – the story of its workers – the many lives that have been spent in its shadows, displaced by coal and depending on it for survival – would be a tale every bit as expansive as the Mahabharata. This article gives a short glimpse of this history. In Part 1, we focus on the time from the British up to the liberalization of the 1990s. In Part 2, we will focus on developments after 1990 up to the present time. Times under the British: Bauris and Santhals, the First Coal Workers of India Commercial coal production began in Raniganj Coalfield in 1774, after the British came to India. This region was previously filled with dense forests, according to the Burdwan Register. Wildlife flourished here. The original inhabitants were Bauris belonging to the Nishad community, as well as Adivasi communities like the Santhals, Kols, and Bhils. Some of these inhabitants cleared the jungle to make settlements and engaged in agriculture; others depended on the jungle for their livelihood. Tunnels were created underground to start the extraction of coal. The steam engine had not been invented yet. Shovels, hammers, scythes – these were the original tools used in the mine. Pulleys were used to raise and lower humans and the coal. The first workers were taken from the villages nearby. The Bauris who lived in this region from ancient times were the fir...

Anjali Barman, a young woman from Raniganj, created headlines when she developed an app ‘Ema’ to chat with a friend. Today, she is the only Indian woman to be selected for Standford University’s Executive Education programme. Barman received an invitation letter from Stanford University in California for higher studies recently. This year, only eight people got the opportunity, out of which Anjali is the first Indian woman in this year’s programme. Anjali Barman shared the application process with Local 18 to help other Indian students like her get into a university as prestigious as Stanford. According to Barman, Stanford University offers two types of executive education courses- individual and organisational executive courses. Individual i.e. if a student wants to learn this subject, he/she has to apply for admission to the course. The application can be done from the university’s official website. If selected, the university authorities inform. In many cases, some short-term courses can be done online. And the second course is organization based. This course is for those who are working as directors, or CEOs of an organization, and can take up the programme on behalf of that organization. The organization has to apply for it. The online application can be submitted by visiting the official website of the university. However, some promising start-up companies are allowed to study at their own expense by the university. Stanford University’s research team selects some su...
