&lt;br /&gt;

===Overview===&lt;br /&gt;
The map shows a hilly area with the [[Rajmahal hills]] running from the bank of the [[Ganges]] in the extreme  north to the south, beyond the area covered by the map into Dumka district. ‘Farakka’ is marked on the map and that is where [[Farakka Barrage]] is, just inside West Bengal. [[Rajmahal coalfield]] is shown in the map. The entire area is overwhelmingly rural with only small pockets of urbanisation.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web| url = https://archive.org/details/dli.csl.3120/page/n1/mode/2up |title = Bihar District Gazetteers: Santhal Parganas| first= P.C.|last=Roychoudhury | work= Chapter I: General |publisher= Secretariat Press, Patna, 1965 | accessdate = 5 December 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Note: The full screen map is interesting. All places marked on the map are linked and you can easily move on to another page of your choice. Enlarge the map to see what else is there – one gets railway links, many more road links and so on.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Economy==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Adani Power]] is building a 1,600 MW thermal power plant spread across Motia, Gangta, Gayghat and other adjacent villages in Godda and [[Poraiyahat (community development block)|Poraiyahat]] CD blocks. It is expected to be operational by 2022. As per a memorandum of understanding signed with [[Bangladesh Power Development Board]], in 2016, Adanis will export the entire power generated to Bangladesh. Adanis would import coal from their [[Carmichael coal mine]] in Australia and the coal would come via [[Dhamra Port]] owned by [[Adani Ports &amp;amp; SEZ]] 700km away in Odisha. In 2019, it became the first stand-alone power project to secure the status of [[List of special economic zones in India|Special economic zone]]. [[Raghubar Das]], then Chief Minister of Jharkhand, felt that the Adani power plant at Godda will usher in development and progress in the tribal-domainated area. However, it is facing opposition locally for land acqusution.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | url =   https://www.gem.wiki/Adani_Godda_power_station | title =  Adani Godda Power Station  | publisher = Global Energy Monitor  | accessdate =  21 November 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | url =  https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ranchi/godda-villagers-seek-halt-to-land-takeover-for-adanis/articleshow/57031497.cms | title =  Godda villagers seek halt to land takeover for the Adanis  | publisher = The Times of India, 8 February 2017  | accessdate =  21 November 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web | url = https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ranchi/adani-power-plant-to-bring-development-to-godda-jharkhand-cm/articleshow/71266526.cms  | title =  Adani power plant to bring development to Godda: Jharkhand CM  | publisher = The Times of India, 24 September 2019  | accessdate =  17 November 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
