===Area overview===
Ramgarh has a vibrant coal-mining sector. The map alongside provides links to five operational areas of [[Central Coalfields]] spread across [[South Karanpura Coalfield]], [[Ramgarh Coalfield]] and [[West Bokaro Coalfield]]. Four of the six CD blocks in the district have coal mines – Patratu, Ramgarh, Mandu and Chitarpur. The high concentration of census towns in these blocks are noticeable on the map. Only two blocks, Gola and Dulmi, are totally rural areas. Ramgarh district lies in the central part of the [[Chota Nagpur Plateau]]. The [[Damodar River|Damodar valley]] covers most of the district. The forested areas in highlands to the north and the south of the valley can be seen in the map (mark the shaded areas).<ref>{{cite web| url = https://censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/DCHB_A/20/2016_PART_A_DCHB_RAMGARH.pdf |title = District Census Handbook, Ramgarh, Series 21, Part XII A| work= Pages 7-8: Physiography, Drainage, Pages 8-11: Minerals and mining|publisher= Directorate of Census Operations Jharkhand | access-date = 9 February 2021}}</ref>”Chotanagpur has a charm of its own... The entire area forms one of the most charming series of views imaginable. The far-off hills in the background in exquisite tints of blue or purple as the light falls, the nearer hills picturesquely shaped and luxuriant in every shade of green with their bold escarpments in black or grey, and the brown plains below furnishing their quota of colours.”<ref>’’Bihar” by Ram Chandra Prasad, Page 5, National Book Trust, First edition 1983,ISBN: 81-237-0151-9</ref>
