It is worth mentioning that, Ministry of Labour and Employment instituted the National Safety Awards (Mines) in 1983 to promote a competitive spirit amongst mine operators for the betterment of safety standards in mines and give due recognition to outstanding safety performance at the national level. For the purpose of the contest for National Safety Awards (Mines) all mines have been divided into seven different groups depending upon the type of mineral and nature of workings.
