Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals and geological resources from the earth. It is required to obtain materials that cannot be produced agriculturally or artificially like petroleum, natural gas, water, coal, stones, and minerals. Mining has several negative environmental impacts including loss of forests and biodiversity, soil erosion, formation of sinkholes, water and air pollution, and effects on communities near mining areas such as landslides, noise, and loss of livelihoods. Jharkhand is an important state for mining in India.
