Godda district, Administrative district in Santhal Pargana division, India
Godda district is an administrative region in northeastern Jharkhand with forested hills, several rivers, and scattered rural settlements spread across nine administrative blocks. The town of Godda serves as the administrative center and main transport hub for the area.
The district became an independent administrative unit in 1991 after being carved out from the larger Santhal Parganas region. This separation allowed for more focused local governance and closer administration of the area.
The population includes Santhal communities and other groups who maintain local traditions through festivals and seasonal celebrations that shape daily life throughout the year.
The best time to visit is between October and March when the weather is dry and comfortable for travel. Railway connections from Godda town link to major regional cities, making it accessible by train.
The region contains coal mines that supply fuel for a major thermal power station, playing a significant role in regional energy production. This mining activity has shaped the local economy and employment patterns over recent decades.
