Jharkhand, State in East India

The territory features dense forests and mineral deposits, with coal mines, iron ore reserves, and copper fields spread across five administrative divisions.

The region gained statehood on November 15, 2000, when it separated from Bihar to become the 28th state of India.

The population includes 32 tribal groups, each maintaining distinct traditions, languages, and social customs through generations in the region.

The state operates major railway junctions in Ranchi, Bokaro, and Dhanbad, connecting travelers to metropolitan areas across northern and eastern India.

The mines of Jharkhand supply 40% of India's mineral resources, including uranium deposits that support the national nuclear power program.
