Slope stability monitoring is mandatory in coal mines. The main purpose of slope monitoring is ti predict the slope failure in advance and avoid the failures. There are various methods/instruments to monitor the slopes and various researchers have given various permissible displacements, but there is no well accepted approach of either monitoring or permissible deformations. So, in this paper an attempt is made to discuss need for slope monitoring, various method and instruments and need to develop an integrated slope monitoring plan.
