The current study aims to provide the current scenario of ecological status near underground coal mines in Parasia, Chhindwara (Madhya Pradesh) India. Over the surface of the coal mine lease; 12 tree species with a Total Basal Area (TBA) of 537.7 m2/ha have been found within the mine lease area. The density values (stems per hectare) for the various tree species ranged from 4.25 to 91.34 stems per hectare. The highest density was recorded for Sagaun (Tectona grandis) species while dominance was recorded for babool (Acacia nilotica) and vilayati babool (Shrub) over the lease area. Varying shrub species have different density values (stems/ha), ranging from 3.56 to 119.7. The IVI value of Lantana camara was the highest (151.57). This shrub has a high potential for regrowth. In the mining lease area, 29 kinds of herbaceous plants were found. Herbaceous species had a stand density of 407373 stems/ha, with Cynodon dactylon and Tridex procumbens (131660 and 64433 stems/ha, respectively) dominating this stratum. Biodiversity is an important the constituent of environment which provide a niche to wildlife and encompasses the food chain resulting to the food web. Sagaun (Tectona grandis), babool (Acacia nilotica), neem (Azadirachta indica), tamarind (Tamarindus indica), and mango (Mangifera indica L) are among the most common trees in the research region. A total of 50 tree species from 26 families were identified in the research region, with 29 of them having medicinal value and being utilized by local communities and vaidya
