Coal Miners Day is observed every year on May 4th to recognize and honour the tireless efforts and significant contribution of coal miners in extracting coal, which is one of the most important fossil fuels used for various purposes, including power generation and industrial production. Demand for coal is also increasing for its use in cement and steel manufacturing.

• Coal mining is a hazardous and strenuous task that involves digging, tunnelling, and extracting it from deep within the earth’s crust, making it one of the most challenging occupations.
• On Coal Miners Day, all coal miners are acknowledged and celebrated for their hard work, dedication, and perseverance in extracting coal to fuel the nation’s progress.
