At 9 am, President Director of ITM Somyot Ruchirawat opened the occasion and gave a short speech. The opening was followed by the launching of children’s book entitled “The Journey in A Coal Mine” produced by ITM Corporate Communication Department. The book publishing was meant to provide knowledge base about coal mining and its work environment to Indonesian children, particularly those whose parents worked as a coal miner.
