Beginning of Coal Revolution Day: Coal miners have been in operation for centuries, however, they have become very important during the Industrial Revolution between the years 1760 and 1840 when coal has been used extensively in fuel and locomotive engines and heat buildings. Coal is a natural resource that accelerates both economic and social development. In India, coal mining began in 1774, when John Summer and Suetonius Grant Heatley of the East India Company began commercial exploration in the Raniganj coalfield along the western bank of the Damodar River. The demand for coal has seen an increase after the introduction of steam engines by the Railways in 1853. However, it wasn't a healthy one to work with. In those days, in the name of profit, many incidents of excessive exploitation and genocide were reported in coal mines. With the establishment of the National Coal Development Corporation (NCDC) in the year 1956, the government started paying special attention to the development of the coal mining sector of the country.
