        abstract = {A large portion of Jharkhand's GDP, especially in the areas surrounding Hazaribagh, comes from coal mining. Appropriate mining extraction and the development of rural and tribal communities around mining sites have been often stated by the government, but these claims have not been turned into practical solutions. The rich are meeting their growing needs by plundering rural and tribal areas' natural resources. This article aimed to examine the effects of coal mining on the local ecology, considering both control and experimental villages, in light of the context provided. Although it has dealt with environmental issues on a local level, the majority of its attention has been on the social effects of mining on water, noise, and air quality. The pollution index show that the industrial area (180) and rural area (120) are alarmingly high. The same result also is there depicted from spatial distribution of pollution in the study area. The findings highlight the transition of coal based energy dependency to renewable sources of energy and area is having enough potential in this. The findings highlight the need for renew regulatory measures, improved sustainable mining practices to mitigate the negative impacts. Addressing these issues is crucial for balancing economic benefits with environmental and social well-being},
