cilKolkata-based CIL, the world’s largest coal mining company, had 387,645 employees, including 37,855 supervisors and 334,359 workmen, in October 2010. The rest, 15,431, were executives. Das said 750 to 800 executive staff left CIL each year. “To manage it and cope up with our expansion plans, we have to increase the intake by 1,500 for the next three years and about 500 executives for 10 years after that,” he said. According to sources, the massive manpower shortage is due to a non-recruitment period of about 12 years, from 1995 to 2006-07. The first batch of nearly 100 executives from Indian Institutes of Technology and National Institutes of Technology, has already joined the company. “It included 69 people for human resources, 10 for environment and others for material management and marketing departments,” he said.
