==Economy==
===Coal mines===
Various projects have been going on for utilization of coal which is present in huge amount in Dhanbad. [[Bharat Coking Coal|Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL)]] is a subsidiary of Coal India Limited with its headquarters in Dhanbad, works the Sudamdih coal mines since nationalization of coalmines in 1971. It is a more than a century old underground [[shaft mine]] and [[coal preparation plant|washery]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.livemint.com/2012/06/22203051/The-dark-ages.html |title=The dark ages |date=22 June 2012 |author=Anindita Ghose |newspaper=Livemint |accessdate=3 July 2012}}</ref>

Collieries in the [[Eastern Jharia Area]] of [[Bharat Coking Coal|BCCL]] are: Bhowrah North [[Coal mining#Undeground mining|underground mine]], Bhowra South colliery, Sudamdih Inclined Mine, Sudamdih Shaft Mine, Pathardih Colliery and Amlabad colliery/ project. East Jharia Area has a reserve of 508.493 million tonnes.<ref name = "ejarea">{{cite web| url = http://www.bcclweb.in/?page_id=1716 | title= Bharat Coking Coal Limited | work= East Jharia Area |publisher= BCCL | accessdate = 25 October 2017}}</ref>

About 17.85 hectares of East Jharia Area are affected by fire and subsidence, because of primitive methods of mining at shallow depths in the pre-nationalization era. All the quarries and subsidized areas affected by fire at Sudamdih and Pathardih have been filled up.<ref name = "ejarea"/>

Mining has been going on in the underground mines in this area for about 100 years. Working conditions in these mines being amongst the most difficult in the world, good quality prime coking coal in the lower seams still remain untapped.<ref name = "ejarea"/>

==Transport==
[[Sudamdih railway station]] is on the [[Railways in Jharia Coalfield]].

Trekkers and state buses are available, which connect Sudamdih to [[Jharia]], Dhanbad, Bhaga and Sindri.
