Select your answer for: In which year did the federal government set up the Thar coal authority_________?
Show answer

Answer: C. 2008

Explanation

The federal government established the Thar Coal Authority in 2008. This body was created to oversee the development of coal resources. Energy projects in the desert region require dedicated administrative oversight. Thar desert holds massive reserves of lignite coal in Pakistan. Developing domestic energy sources reduces reliance on costly oil imports. Specialized authorities fast track industrial projects in remote areas.

Coal energy extraction contributes to national power generation goals. Industrial projects bring infrastructure development to underdeveloped districts. Government oversight ensures environmental and economic management of resources. 2005 predates the formal creation of this specific resource authority. 2007 was a period of political transition before the board was set up. 2009 falls slightly after the initial establishment year recorded.
