Jharkhand was formed by reducing the state of Bihar in the start of the 21st century. Jharkhand is mainly an industrial state which is home to the Bokaro steel city. Jharkhand has all the important minerals which are necessary for the production of steel. Jamshedpur is also in Jharkhand, and is an important town involved in promoting the economy of the state. This state has huge mines and minerals, abundant forest resources, several attractive tourist spots, a number of prestigious educational institutions and some big industries based on fertilizer and steel. Jharkhand is also known as “land of woods”. Ranchi, the capital city of Jharkhand is a picturesque hill station still full of old world colonial charm. It is of special interest to those who are interested in anthropology for the Tribal Research Institute and museum is located here. It is well worth a visit for those who want to know more about the tribal life of Jharkhand. There are national parks like Hazaribagh National Park and Palamau Tiger Reserve where the beauty of the nature in wilderness can be explored. The natural waterfalls- Dassam Falls, Hundru Falls, Jonha Falls, and Hirni Falls create a mesmerizing effect on the visitors. The other attractions are Gonda Hill & Rock Garden, Ranchi Hill, and Tagore Hill. Jharkhand shares its border with the states of Bihar to the north, Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh to the west, Orissa to the south, and West Bengal to the east. The industrial city of Ranchi is its capital while Jamshedpur is the largest city of the state. Some of the other major cities and industrial centres are Dhanbad, Bokaro, Sindri, Deoghar, Hazaribagh and Patratu. Number of people from near by states travel to Jharkhand.
