Coal India Ltd subsidiary, South Eastern Coalfields Ltd (SECL), plans to boost forest cover in Chhattisgarh's coal belt region using the Miyawaki method. Miyawaki method involves planting native trees, shrubs, and groundcover plants densely within every square meter, ideal for small parcels of land.
