Agriculture

Around 80% of the population depends on agriculture, the main economic activity of the district but lack of irrigation facilities is a major constraint in raising productivity. A sizable population is also engaged in animal husbandry and cottage industries.[6]

Coal mining

Godda district is rich in coal. A major coal mining project of Eastern Coalfields Limited (Rajmahal open cast project, a part of Rajmahal coalfield) is going on in Boarijore, Mahagama and Sunderpahari CD Blocks.[6]

Rajmahal open cast project (earlier known as Lalmatia Colliery) supplies coal to the 2,100 MW Farakka Super Thermal Power Station (located in Farakka (community development block)) and the 2,340 MW Kahalgaon Super Thermal Power Station. Both the power stations are owned by NTPC and the mines are operated by Eastern Coalfields Limited. Opened in 1985, the mine presently produces 10.5 million tonnes annually and efforts are on to raise it to 17 million tonnes per annum.[7]

The two public sector power stations located nearby in West Bengal and Bihar have been facing coal supply problems. Essel Mining and Industries, of the Aditya Birla Group, is likely to take over the opearations of the Rajmahal open cast project. It is amongst the larger mines in operation in the country.[8]
