Pathakhera is a town in the municipal council of Sarni in the Betul District, Madhya Pradesh, India. The town is also known as Coal Nagari and also locally as NCDC, an acronym for National Coal Development Corporation.

History and research on coalfields

In 1845, the earliest systematic exploration of India's coal resources was initiated by D.H.Williams, Geological Surveyor of the East India Company. In 1924, Dr. Cyril Fox surveyed once again certain coal-bearing areas, including the Pench, Kanhan and Tawa Valleys. Pathakhera is a part of Satpura Basin coal area as categorized by Geological survey of India.[1] Greater Pathakhera or Pathakhera Area consists of Shobhapur colony, Kalimai and Bagdona, in addition to Pathakhera town, which was essentially created as western extension of Pench-Kanhan-Tawa valley coalfields project. In the vicinity of Pathakhera three coal seams have been encountered by boring. The top seam is of poor quality and the other seams are comparatively better in quality.[2] Researchers of Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany, Lucknow has discovered the correlation of Gondwana coalfields with plant fossil data.[3] Another research on the analysis of coal sample has shown presence of fossils of 61 species of 37 genera.[4] Researchers have also suggested the presence of Permian period fossil in this region and the species mark the transition of the Permian level into the Lower Triassic.[5] Coal from this region is usually subbituminous A to high volatile A bituminous rank.[6]
