===Location=== Charhi is located at {{coord|23.876222|N|85.445222|E|display=inline}}.
===Area overview=== Hazaribagh district is a [[plateau]] area and forests occupy around about 45% of the total area. It is a predominantly rural area with 92.34% of the population living in rural areas against 7.66% in the urban areas. There are many [[census towns]] in the district, as can be seen in the map alongside. Agriculture is the main occupation of the people but with the extension of coal mines, particularly in the southern part of the district, employment in coal mines is increasing. However, it has to be borne in mind that modern mining operations are highly mechanised. Four operational areas of [[Central Coalfields]] are marked on the map. All these areas are spread across partly this district and partly the neighbouring districts.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/DCHB_A/20/2015_PART_A_DCHB_HAZARIBAGH.pdf| title = District Census Handbook, Hazaribag, 2011, Series 21, Part XII A | work = Pages 11-14 | publisher = Directorate of Census Operations, Jharkhand. | access-date = 1 November 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = https://censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/2015_PART_B_DCHB_HAZARIBAGH.pdf |title = District Census Handbook, Hazaribagh, 2011, Series 21, Part XII B |work = Census of India 2011 Page 26 | publisher= Directorate of Census Operations, Jharkhand | access-date = 26 January 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://sinclairenvironmental.com/karanpura/coalfields.htm |title=The North Karanpura Coalfields |work=Jharkhand |publisher=sinclair-environmental |accessdate=15 January 2021 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20150516093809/http://sinclairenvironmental.com/karanpura/coalfields.htm |archivedate=16 May 2015 }}</ref>
