unscientific mining practices adopted by some of them and poor working conditions of labor in some of the private coal mines became matters of concern for the government. on account of these reasons, the central government took a decision to nationalize the private coal mines. the nationalization was done in two phases, the first with the coking coal mines in 1971–72 and then with the non-coking coal mines in 1973. in october, 1971, the coking coal mines (emergency provisions) act, 1971 provided for taking over in public interest of the management of coking coal mines and coke oven plants pending nationalization. this was followed by the coking coal mines (nationalization) act, 1972 under which the coking coal mines and the coke oven plants other than those with the tata iron & steel company limited and indian iron & steel company limited, were nationalized on may 1, 1972 and brought under the bharat coking coal limited (bccl), a new central government undertaking. another enactment, namely the coal mines (taking over of management) act, 1973, extended the right of the government of india to take over the management of the coking and non-coking coal mines in seven states including the coking coal mines taken over in 1971. this was followed by the nationalization of all these mines on may 1, 1973 with the enactment of the coal mines (nationalization) act, 1973 which determined the eligibility of coal mining in india.
