| Abstract | From the perspective of economic and safety, the mechanical stability of a waste dump is crucial; therefore, re-vegetation is considered to be the most pertinent and eco-friendly approach to achieve this goal. However, not many studies address this concern and support the type of vegetation to be carried out on these waste dump slopes. This study has, therefore, explored the possibilities of using local species for the mechanical stability of the waste dump in surface iron ore mine for long-term protection of the environment. Commonly available local species are considered as prospective candidates that can adapt quickly to the climate and fit into the ecosystem, and an in situ test was used to calculate the shear strength of the vegetated waste dump. This test used a customized shear box (0.15 m × 0.15 m × 0.15 m) to evaluate the increased mechanical stability of the vegetated waste dump on the surface iron mine. From the analysis of in situ field data, it is concluded that the mechanical stability of waste dump has significantly improved with a possibility of extending its role toward maintaining long-term stability. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
