==Economy==
According to the ECL website telephone numbers, operational collieries in the Jhanjra Area of [[Eastern Coalfields]] in 2018 are: Main Incline, I & II Incline, I & B Incline and 3 & 4 Incline.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.easterncoal.gov.in/contactus/cugtel/kajora.pdf | title = Area wise Closed User Group (CUG) Telephone Numbers | work = Kajora Area | publisher = Eastern Coalfields Limited | access-date = 17 September 2018}}</ref>

==Jhanjra Project==
The Jhanjra Area of [[Eastern Coalfields]] consists of only one colliery, the underground mechanised Jhanjra mine. The Jhanjra coal block covering a surface area of 11.50 km2, spread across 8 extractable seems, has a total reserve of about 200 million tonnes of coal. Development of this mine was initiated in the 1980s. While open-cast mining is cheaper and less labour-intensive, it is much less environment friendly compared to underground mining. Therefore, although India has depended on large scale open-cast mining to raise production of coal, the Jhanjra Project is an example of its new focus on underground mining.<ref name=jhanjra/>

As of 2015-16, with the deployment of continuous miner mass production technology has been introduced in the Jhanjra mines. [[Longwall mining]] has also been introduced. Man riding system and free steered vehicle are already functional.<ref name=eclplanning>{{cite web| url = http://www.easterncoal.gov.in/planning.html |title = Planning | publisher= Eastern Coalfields Limited | access-date = 22 February 2017}}</ref>
