Subsidiary
A subsidiary, subsidiary company or daughter company is a company owned or controlled by another company, which is called the parent company or holding company. Two or more subsidiaries that either belong to the same parent company or having a same management being substantially controlled by same entity/group are called sister companies. The subsidiary can be a company (usually with limited liability) and may be a government- or state-owned enterprise.

Discovery, or Citigroup; as well as more focused companies such as IBM, Xerox, and Microsoft. These, and others, organize their businesses into national and functional subsidiaries, often with multiple levels of subsidiaries. Details Subsidiaries are separate, distinct legal entities f ...

Coalbed Methane
Coalbed methane (CBM or coal-bed methane), coalbed gas, coal seam gas (CSG), or coal-mine methane (CMM) is a form of natural gas extracted from coal beds. In recent decades it has become an important source of energy in United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries. The term refers to methane absorbed into the solid matrix of the coal. It is called 'sweet gas' because of its lack of hydrogen sulfide. The presence of this gas is well known from its occurrence in underground coal mining, where it presents a serious safety risk. Coalbed methane is distinct from a typical sandstone or other conventional gas reservoir, as the methane is stored within the coal by a process called adsorption. The methane is in a near-liquid state, lining the inside of pores within the coal (called the matrix). The open fractures in the coal (called the cleats) can also contain free gas or can be saturated with water. Unlike much natural gas from conventional reservoirs, coalbed methane conta ...

Eastern Jharia Area
Eastern Jharia Area is one of the 12 operational areas of BCCL located in Dhanbad Sadar subdivision of Dhanbad district in the state of Jharkhand, India. History The Jharia coalfield is the only repository of coking coal in the country. Coking coal is being mined for over a century in the Eastern Jharia Area with such mines as Bhowrah, Sudamdih and Patherdih. Geo-mining conditions in the underground mines vary from moderate to extreme. In some cases, it is so extreme that these are amongst the most difficult mines to work in the world. This has resulted in the deeper seams, with good quality prime coking coal, to remain untapped. Moreover, shallow deposits worked by primitive methods, in pre-nationalisation period, is leading to mining fire. Geography Location The Eastern Jharia Area office is located at . The map alongside shows some of the collieries in the Area. However, as the collieries do not have individual pages, there are no links in the full screen map. In the map pl ...

Govindpur Area
Govindpur Area is one of the 12 operational areas of BCCL located in Dhanbad Sadar subdivision of Dhanbad district in the state of Jharkhand, India. History “Mining in Jharia coalfield was started 150 years back and most of the mines were open cast with manual excavations. Gradually underground mines were started at shallow depth and the mining was done by the private mine operators. Due to complex geo-mining conditions, the private mine operators abandoned the mines without taking care of the safety, conservation of the post mining situations. The unscientific mining has created many small surface craters or unsafe goaf in the Jharia coalfield area. After nationalization, Coal India has taken efforts for reorganization of mines and scientific extraction of the coal through the old and existing mines.” Geography Location The Govindpur Area office is located at .
