The state of Jharkhand is recently carved out of Bihar. The state is more prominent for the abundance of minerals underground and India's most renowned heavy industries.

Located in the forest tracks of Chhotanagpur plateau, Jharkhand is aptly called "The queen of Chhotanagpur"

The state has a rich history as old as the Harappan civilization. The discovery of Harappan pottery in Hazaribagh speaks for its antiquity. The region had also played significant role in India's freedom struggle. The heroic legend of Birsa Munda is still alive in people's memory.

The long cherished dream of the people came into being on 15th November 2000 when it was given the statehood.
