===Overview===
The region shown in the map is a part of the undulating [[Highland|uplands]] bustling with coalmines. The [[Damodar River]], the most important river of the [[Chota Nagpur Plateau]], flows along the southern border. The area beyond the Damodar was once a part of Dhanbad district but was transferred to Bokaro district in 2001. Bulk of the area shown in the map is part of [[Baghmara (community development block)]]. In Baghmara CD block 67% of the population lives in rural areas and 33% in urban areas. The block has 18 [[census towns]], all marked in the map, except [[Rajganj, Dhanbad|Rajganj]], which is shown in the map for the northern portion of the district. A portion of [[Dhanbad Municipal Corporation]] extends into the region till around [[Katras]]. The places in the DMC area are marked as [[neighbourhoods]]. Most of the DMC area is shown in the maps for the central and southern portions of the district. Four operational areas of [[Bharat Coking Coal|BCCL]] operate fully within the region – [[Katras Area]], [[Govindpur Area]], [[Barora Area]] and [[Block II Area]]. The Mahuda sector of [[Western Jharia Area]] also operates in the region.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/DCHB_A/20/2009_PART_A_DCHB_DHANBAD.pdf | title = District Census Handbook Dhanbad | work = Series 21, Part XIIA, pages 4-5, 5-6, 8 | publisher = Directorate of Census Operations, Jharkhand | access-date = 4 June 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.censusindia.gov.in/pca/cdb_pca_census/Houselisting-housing-JK.html |title = 2011 Census C.D.
