(vi) Any other details - : For administering the provisions of the Indian Mines Act, 1901, the
Government of India set up a "Bureau of Mines Inspection" on the
7th January 1902 with headquarters at Calcutta. The name of the
organisation was changed to Department of Mines in 1904 and its
headquarters shifted to Dhanbad in 1908. On 01.01.1960, the
organisation was renamed as "Office of the Chief Inspector of Mines".
Since 01.05.1967, the office has been re-designated as Directorate
General of Mines Safety (DGMS in short).

Under the Constitution of India, safety, health and welfare of workers


employed in mines are the concern of the Central Government (Entry
55-Union List-Article 246). The objective is regulated by the Mines
Act, 1952 and the Rules and Regulations framed thereunder. These
are administered by the Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS),
under the Union Ministry of Labour & Employment. Apart from
administering the Mines Act and the subordinate legislation there
under, DGMS also administers some other allied legislation, including
the Indian Electricity Act
