Dumka district, Administrative district in Santhal Pargana division, India
The district spreads across hills and valleys with numerous rivers flowing through its territory, forming a natural boundary in eastern Jharkhand.
The district emerged on January 1, 1991, when authorities separated it from Bhagalpur district to establish more focused administrative management.
The district contains a large population of Santal tribes who maintain their traditional practices through music, dance performances, and seasonal festivities.
Agriculture forms the primary economic activity in Dumka district, with farmers cultivating rice, maize, and pulses throughout the seasonal cycles.
The Santal Parganas Tenancy Act of 1876 continues to protect tribal land rights in Dumka district, preventing unauthorized transfer of indigenous properties.
