History

 

The long Cherished dreams of the tribals of Bihar was realised on November 15,2000 with the birth of the Jharkhand as the 28th state in India. Parliament puts it's seal on the Bihar reorganisation bill 2000,for the creation of jharkhand state on august 11,2000.The acting chief justice of of the jharkhand high court Vinod Kumar administered the Oath of the Office to Governor Prabhat Kumar ,Who in turn administered the Oath of the office to Mr.Babulal Marandi as the first chief minister of the state.The New state  carved out from the statae of Bihar has 18 diatricts,14 lok sabha seats,81 assembly seats. Jharkhand has  an area of   79,714 Sq Km with 2.69 Crore population.27.67 % of it's population is in the tribal area.,     15 % Harijans and 40 % OBC's.The State will have the separate high court at the states capital at Ranchi. Struggle for the creation of the Jharkhand state was waged by the adivasis of the chhotanagpur  Plateau-santhal parganas belt for well over half century.Initially led by jaipal singh -an oxford educated prince who captained the Indian hockey team to it's first gold medal in 1928.Olympics-the tribal communities of the region had been demanding freedom from the exploration. The Jharkhand state is thus the truncated vergion of the original jharkhand dream .Jharkhand is the mini India or more correctly the concentrated India .It has Hills,Plains,Fields & Jungles with the variety of the people living together for ages. unshaken by politics till recently No single community language & Religion dominates. In the mid of all these diversity there is unity and that is Jharkhand. Thus Jharkhand has everything what it needs is anew Philosophy to activate ,Motivate and inspire to produce results.
