'''Govindpur Area''' is one of the 12 operational areas of [[Bharat Coking Coal|BCCL]] located in [[Dhanbad Sadar subdivision]] of [[Dhanbad district]] in the state of [[Jharkhand]], [[India]].

==History==
“Mining in [[Jharia coalfield]] was started 150 years back and most of the mines were [[Open-pit mining|open cast]] with manual excavations. Gradually [[Mining#Underground mining|underground mines]] were started at shallow depth and the mining was done by the private mine operators. Due to complex geo-mining conditions, the private mine operators abandoned the mines without taking care of the safety, conservation of the post mining situations. The unscientific mining has created many small surface craters or unsafe goaf in the Jharia coalfield area. After nationalization, [[Coal India]] has taken efforts for reorganization of mines and scientific extraction of the coal through the old and existing mines.” <ref>{{cite web | url = http://environmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/EIA/8_CLUSTER-III%20EIA_EMP%20BCCL%20DHANBAD.pdf | title = Environmental Impact Asssessment & Environmental Management Plan | work = Cluster III of BCCL Mines, Chapter I: Introduction, Page I-1 | publisher = Central Mine Planning and Design Institute Ltd. | accessdate = 19 June 2019}}</ref>
