Jharkhand, the 28th state of the Indian Union was brought into existence by the Bihar reorganization Act on November 15, 2000 - the birth anniversary of the legendary Bhagwan Birsa Munda. Jharkhand shares its borders with five states of the country, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh to its north, West Bengal in East, Orissa in South East and Chhattisgarh in south west. The geographical area of the state is 79714 square kilometer. The state is rich in terms of natural resources — forests, minerals and abundant land. With only 2.7 percent of the population of India, the state has one third of its mineral potential reserves, particularly ‘Coal’ and ‘Iron’. The coal belt, the minerals and the steel towns of Jamshedpur and Bokaro fall in its territory and are really the back bone of the state in terms of both employability opportunities and revenue generation models. Jharkhand is famous for its rich mineral resources like Uranium, Mica, Bauxite, Granite, Gold, Silver, Graphite, Magnetite, Dolomite, Fireclay, Quartz, Feldspar, Coal (32% of India), Iron, Copper (25%of India) etc. Forests and woodlands occupy more than 29% of the state which is amongst the highest in India. The Vision 2010 document of the government admits to a 52 % deficit in food grain production, with half per-capita availability of food compared to the national average.
Close to half of the state GDP comes from industry with mining, quarrying and registered manufacturing contributing nearly 78 percent of the state’s industrial output. It is the country’s most mineral intensive state, with mining and quarrying accounting for 14.3 percent of the SDP. Manufacturing contributes 27 percent compared to the national average of 17%. Forestry contributes only about 1.3 percent with a huge potential that is yet to unfold.
Jharkhand is an investor-friendly destination and the Jharkhand Government encourages private sector participation in the process of planned and rapid industrialization of the state. Private sector participation is envisaged in infrastructure development comprising building and maintaining roads & bridges, airtaxi/cargo service operations, development of tourism, telecommunications, well planned residential facilities, power generation and distribution including mini & micro hydel power plants, non conventional sources of power, mining activities, handloom, handicrafts & sericulture, research & development. In setting up the Special Economic Zone and in opening Technical Institutions, private-public partnership is also encouraged.
