JHARKHAND : AN OVERVIEW
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Jharkhand emerged as 28th State on the political map of India on 15

November 2000. Chotanagpur plateau and Santhal Paragna regions, once
the part of Bihar, now form the State of Jharkhand. The State is covered by
forest lands and hills varying from 300 to 1000 mtrs in altitude. The State
has sizeable tribal population and rich in vegetation and mineral
resources.
Presently it has been organised into 24 districts. The State covers about
2.42% of the country's land area ( 79,710 Sq. Km) and about 2.62 % of the
country's population (2.69 crores as per Census 2001).
The State has basically rural economy as 70 - 80% of the population are
engaged in agriculture and allied activities. The economy presents a
paradox of poverty in plenty. The State lacks infrastructure facilities. The
incidence of poverty is very high more particularly among tribes and
Schedule Castes. Tribal constitute around 26.3% and Scheduled Caste
around 11.8% of the total population. The economic development of the
ST and SC population is one of the prime concerns of the State.

2.4 AGRICULTURE & ALLIED ACTIVITIES

2.4.1 Agriculture
i. About 70 - 80% of the population depends on agriculture.
ii. Cereal crops like paddy and maize occupy a major portion of the
agricultural area in the state with pulses like black gram and red
gram coming next to it. Other important crops grown are wheat,
oilseeds and minor millets. Vegetable production is high in certain
pockets of the State placing it at a comfortable position compared to
neighbouring States.
iii. Agricultural economy of the state is characterized by the existence
of large number of small and marginal farmers. About 72% of the
land holdings belong to small and marginal farmers. Only 0.69%
operational holdings are above 10 hectares covering about 9% of
area. Agriculture operations are primarily of subsistence type due
to the adverse land : man ratio and lack of adequate irrigation
facility.
iv. Another important factor for under developed character of
agriculture is predominance of cereal crops in the state. About 92%
cropped area is covered under food grains and hardly 3-5% area is
under cash crops. 40% of the total cropped area remains largely
mono-cropped under rice. The lack of diversity in the cropping
pattern makes the farmers more vulnerable against any downward
deviation in rainfall.
v. Land utilization: Of the total cultivable land 38.44 lakh ha (48.22%),
12.04 lakh ha (15.10%) is current fallow, 8.45 lakh ha (10.60%) is
other fallow and 17.95 lakh ha (22.53%) is the sown area. These
figures indicate that an area of 24.4 lakh ha is under agricultural
wasteland and should be attempted to be beneficially utilized to a
great extent.
vi. Crop Coverage Area (As in 2005-06)
Crop Coverage
Rice 57%
Wheat 2.45%
4
Maze 7.66%
Pulses 12.02%
Fruit 0.28 lakh ha.
Vegetables 2.25 lakh ha.
vii. Cropping Intensity is 114%

vii. Per capita net sown area (0.064 hectare) is quite low in relation to
the per capita land holding (0.4 ha approx.) in the State.
viii. Large tracts of land are left uncultivated by poor farmers due to
lack of capital. They have little or no resources of their own to
provide for high cost inputs needed to increase the agricultural
productivity. The institutional credit flow to the agriculture sector
is negligible and agricultural extension activities are minimal. All
these factors converge into a vicious circle of low agricultural
productivity, low farm income, low investment, low capital
formation & subsequently stagnant rural economy. Contribution of
Agriculture to GSDP is 20% while huge population (70 – 80%)
depends on it for livelihood.
2.4.2 Animal Husbandry & Dairy
Sl.No. Species Census 2003 (In lakh)

1. Cattle 76.59
2. Buffalo 13.43

chilling centres (in thousand litres)
Recognized breeds of cattle represent a small fraction of the total cattle

population in Jharkhand. The local indigenous breeds are mostly draft
purpose breed. The local breeds do not produce adequate milk due to
poor nutrition, poor management, tropical heat and diseases. Per cattle
productivity is 1.59 Kg. per cattle per day against the National Avg. of
3 Kg. per cattle per day. Per capita availability of milk is just 140 gm. as
against the National Avg. of 235 gm per capita.
2.4.3 Fisheries
i. The State has a total water area of 1.32 lakh ha. in the form of
Ponds, Bandhs, Reservoirs and Lakes in the rural area. It has
suitable agro-climatic condition for fish production. Yet the present
level of fish production in Jharkhand is 1435 Kg. /Ha./Year lower
than the National Avg. 2150 Kg./Ha./Year.
ii. The low fish production is because of most of tanks are old and
unsuitable for fish culture due to siltation and weed infestation.
2.5 Water Resources

A. Rainfall
Jharkhand has an average yearly rainfall of 1300 - 1400 mm against the
national average of 1000 mm. The rainfall is generally uniform with little
variation.

C. Ground / Surface Water
Surface water availability in Jharkhand is 35,497.4 MCM and Ground
water availability in Jharkhand is 9,057.8 MCM.
D. Water availability
Total availability of water : 44,555.2 MCM.
o Ground Water : 9057.80 MCM.
o Surface Water : 35497.40 MCM.
E. Use of Water
o Irrigation purpose : 53%
o Industry & Drinking : 7,329.8 MCM
Municipal use : 15-22%
Industrial use : 20-29%
F. Irrigation Potential
Total irrigation potential : 6.83 lakh ha.
o through Major & Medium irrigation Schemes : 2.20 lakh ha.
o through Minor irrigation Schemes : 4.63 lakh ha.
The existing irrigation coverage is only 22% of the available arable
land as against national coverage of 40%. The agriculture is largely
rain dependent.
The State does not have perennial river system. All rivers in the
State are seasonal. They receive water during monsoon. 80% of the
rainfall is received during four monsoon months (June – Sept.). Due
to undulating topography, the water run off rate is very high.
Only 50-60% of created irrigation potential is being utilized. More
than 50% of the irrigation potential generated over the years has
got eroded and would require massive resources and time to
restore.
7
Ponds and wells irrigate one fourth of the fields and the rest are
irrigated by other sources.
2.6 Forest and Wildlife
As per Forest Survey of India 2003 report, the forest and tree cover area
of the State is 27,724 sq. km. (34.78%).
Total forest cover : 23,605 sq. kms (29.61% of total geographical

area of the State and 3.7% of the national forest area)
Protected forests : 81.27% (19,185 sq. kms)
Reserve forests : 18.58% (4,387 sq. kms)
Unclassified forests : 0.15% (33 sq. kms)

Wild life : Tiger, Leopard, Elephant, Cheetal, Barking
Deer, Sambhar, Neelgai, Wild Deer, Wolf,
Langur, Wild Dog, Sloth Bear, Phesus
Minkey, Black Buck, Hyena, Porcupine, Gaur
There are 10 Wildlife Sanctuaries and one National Park in the State.
Forest resource of the State suffers biotic pressure due to following

reasons-
z Increasing population pressure, encroachment.
z Rural poverty and lack of employment opportunities elsewhere.
z Increasing pressure due to grazing.
z Poor infrastructure for utilization and selling of non-timber
forest produce.
z Illicit cutting and fires resulting in loss of green cover, top soil
and ecological balance.

The freight equalization policy for steel and coal has denied Jharkhand of
its comparative advantage. Coal produced here is transported and used
elsewhere. Natural resources have not been able to lead the development
of the State substantially.
2.8 INFRASTRUCTURE
2.8.1. Road Net work
Total road length (surfaced and un-surfaced) in Jharkhand is 17,056 kms.

Road Break-up is as under :-
National Highways - 1,844.07 kms
State Highways - 1,886.40 kms
9
PWD Roads - 4,991.75 kms

Rural and Village Roads - 6,323 kms
About 26% villages are connected by road. The State has hilly
terrain and roads which cross number of valleys over major drains
and rivers, necessitate construction of bridges.
Many districts like Dhanbad, Garhwa, Palamu and West
Singhbhum have poor accessibility.
2.8.2. Rail Net work

The state has a railway system that provides links to the mining industry.
It has goods handling facilities at Ranchi, Bokaro, Dhanbad & Jamshedpur
as well as ore loading facilities at Kiriburu, Lohardaga & all CCL coal
mines.

2.11. INDUSTRIALIZATION
Industries in Jharkhand are located only in certain pockets. Much of the
investment in industrial sector has traditionally been only in the public
sector. In the absence of industrial growth majority of the population is
dependent upon agriculture for their livelihood. Of late private
16
entrepreneurs have shown interest in power generation and in setting up

of mineral based plants. But infrastructure in terms of Roads and Power is
a prerequisite for these to materialise on ground.
2.12. URBAN FACILITIES:

Jharkhand has an urban population of 22.24%. There are at present 152
medium & small towns. Our towns & cities are unable to meet the
growing demand and supply of the urban infrastructural services. The
major factors responsible for deficiencies and constraints are:-
• Inadequate infrastructure and service facilities. The
Government is the sole provider of facilities except in the
industrial towns of Bokaro and Jamshedpur.
• Limited financial resources of the urban local bodies for
operation and maintenance of civic facilities.
• Poor economic base and little scope for income generation in
most of the small and medium towns.
• Lack of professionalism and absence of institutional framework
for greater involvement of Private Sector, NGOs Communities
& bottlenecks in the mobilization of institutional finance.
• It is estimated that about one-third of the total urban

population of Jharkhand State, lives below the poverty line
in informal settlements / slums.
3. GROWTH PERFORMANCE
3.1. Growth Rate
The average growth rate of Net State Domestic Product (NSDP) at

1993-94 prices in respect of Jharkhand was 3.8% in 2004-05 as against the
growth rate of 3.1% in 2003-04. The table below gives the percentage growth
rate of NSDP over the previous year and the per capita NSDP at 1993-94
prices during the last six years.

The share of the primary sector has declined marginally from

36.89% in 2002-03 to 35.52% in 2005-06. The share of the secondary sector has
increased slightly from 35.22% in 2002-03 to 36.48% in 2005-06. There has
been a negligible increase in tertiary sector from 27.89% to 28.00% in the
corresponding period.

The Credit deposit ratio of the State has increased over the year. The poor
credit consumption in the initial years was attributed to poor
infrastructure base and poor support under different sectors of the
economy. In the financial year 2007-08 a concrete effort has been made to
sensitize the officers of development departments and branch managers of
different financial institutions.
3.3 Growth Target for the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-12)
The Planning Commission has fixed Growth Rate at 9.8% p.a. Sector-wise
Growth Target is as under:
Agriculture : 6.3%
Industry : 12.3%
Service : 8.0%
The 11th plan size has been approved at Rs.40,240 Crores. The State has
approved Annual Plan size at Rs.8,015 Crores during 2008-09. The State
will meet Rs. 4,698.20 Crores from State own resource, the gross
borrowings would be around Rs.1,937.00 Crores and the Central
Assistance would be Rs. 1379.80
4. PERFORMANCE DURING PLAN PERIOD (2002-07 & 2007-08)
4.1. Agriculture and Allied Sector
4.1.1 Agriculture
The growth in this sector has a strong bearing on the growth of the other
sectors of the economy and consequently the GSDP. The plan strategies
for the socio-economic development of the state should be such as will
facilitate faster growth and development of agriculture and allied sectors.
Keeping this in view various programmes were implemented in this
sector:-

6. THRUST AREA / STRATIGIES

6.1 Agriculture and Allied Sector
6.1.1 Agriculture
In Jharkhand, 70 - 80% people depend on agriculture and allied activities
for their livelihood. Jharkhand has great possibilities in Agriculture,
Horticulture and Floriculture and efforts are being made for their
development. The Planning Commission has fixed a target of 9.8% annual
GDP growth rate during the 11th Five Year Plan for Jharkhand.
Agriculture sector is required to grow at 6.3% p.a.
Major strategies for growth of the sector in 11th Plan are as under:-
Increase in agriculture production through crop diversification to

pulses, oilseeds and vegetables.
Increasing Seed Exchange further.
Setting up of Seed village in each district.
Promote agriculture extension.
Shifting from traditional mono cropping to horticulture and area
expansion under commercial horticultural crops.
Strengthening of plant resource centre / agri – business centres.
Promote agriculture research and education.
37
Extensive Soil and Water Conservation measures.

Increase in minor irrigation.
Strengthening of rain water harvesting structures.
6.1.2 Animal Husbandry
As main /Subsidiary source of occupation Animal husbandry / dairy /

fishery have proved to be important tool of socio-economic change among
the rural farming community in Jharkhand. Keeping this in view, during
the 11th Plan period (2007-12), the major strategies of development
programme in this sector are : -
Enhancing Milk Production / Productivity
Creation of awareness amongst milk producers, training of staff
dealing with extension and paravet training to rural unemployed
youths.
Breed improvement of local non-descript breeds of cattle.
Efficient milk marketing system for procurement, transportation and
sale of milk and milk products.
Arrangement of feed, fodder (green fodder), mineral and other feed
supplement at the door steps of the milk producers.
Induction of improved breed milch cattle to boost up the milk
production as well as income generation to the rural families.
To extend modern technology of mixed carp culture and seed
production to the ponds and reservoirs.
To strengthen rural economy by engaging more rural poor people in
fish farming.
To encourage local fish farmers to take up the trade of fish seed
production in private sector to meet the demands of quality fish seeds.
To impart training to fish farmers in improved techniques of fish
rearing and seed production.
To arrange demonstration of improve techniques in selected Govt. fish
farms.
6.2 Irrigation
Majority of the population in Jharkhand is dependent on Agriculture and
existing irrigation coverage being 22% of the available arable land as
against national coverage of 40%, irrigation, therefore, is critical factor for
increasing agricultural production and productivity.
The following strategies will be adopted in this sector:-
38
The main focus would be on increasing irrigation coverage by taking

minor irrigation scheme.
Major Irrigation project to be completed in a time bound manner;
Making existing irrigation network more efficient;
Move towards effective Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM)
Increase in irrigational coverage through a mix of major, medium,
minor and ground water schemes;
Through proper management of water the irrigated area will be
increased further by another 10-15% of cultivable area and also to
improve moisture level and under ground water table.
6.3 Infrastructure Development

6.3.1 Energy
The shortage of power continues to be a major constraints for economic
growth of the State. Hence, the strategies in the Power Sector are as
under:-
Access and availability of power to all households by 2012 and
overcoming of shortage of power by 2012.
Increase in availability of per capita of electricity to 1000 units by 2012
and provide minimum lifeline consumption of one unit per household
per day.
Protection of consumers’ interest.
Continuation of the reforms and restructuring of the power sector,
including operationalization of the unbundling of JSEB and franchising
of the distribution network.
Bring down the T&D losses to 22% and AT&C losses to 30% from the
2005-06 levels of 47.3% and 62.3% respectively.

private partnership in the power sector.
Renovation and modernization of the existing units.
Strengthening of the transmission and distribution system.
Engage with the Ministry of Atomic Energy for setting up of a Nuclear
Power Plant in Jharkhand.
6.3.2 Industry
The State has immense potential for industrialization with its large
deposits of minerals, which could provide a firm launching pad for
various industries. What is required is proper infrastructure, simplified
39
mechanisms, sensitive and proactive Government machinery and an

investor friendly atmosphere for industrial growth in the State.
The Industrial Policy of Jharkhand aims to make Jharkhand one of the
most preferred destination for industrial investment. The objectives of
Jharkhand Industrial Policy are -
Simplify rules, regulations and procedures to remove bottlenecks
Provide adequate good quality infrastructure support
Single Window System
Introduce latest scientific data collection system
Improve the quality of services to entrepreneurs.
Establish Entrepreneur Development Institute (EDI) and other
specialized institutions.

processing, horticulture and other food processing industries.
Develop Industrial Parks for specialized activities in the fields of
Information Technology, Tasar/ Mulberry, Electronics, Plastic,
Chemicals, Biotech and Herb, Exports and Food Processing with
adequate power, water, communication, transport and other facilities.
Emphasis on small power generating units and developing non-
conventional sources of energy through private participation.
6.3.4 Roads and Bridges

Followings are envisaged during 11th Five Year Plan:-
Connecting all District HQs with Capital Ranchi by well laid two lane
roads
Connecting various District HQs with neighbouring DHQs with two

6.5 Health
The State still lags behind in health care infrastructure and health
indicators. The strategies during 11th Plan will be as under:-
To improve the status of institutional delivery and safe delivery in the
State;
To strengthen infrastructure at district, sub-division and PHC level;
To encourage child immunization;
To improve IMR & MMR;
To create awareness among community about family planning devices;
To update the skill among medical/ paramedical personnel;
6.6 Programmes for TSP/SCP and District Plan

The Constitution of India provides the framework to safeguard and
protect the interest of Scheduled Tribes (ST)/Schedule Caste (SC). In view
of high poverty and unemployment amongst the tribes/Schedule Caste,
formulation and implementation of development programmes have
assumed significant importance. Every thing else being equals the deptt.
will give preference to SC/ST individuals / families/ tolas while
implementing their programmes.
Welfare Deptt. exclusively works for the betterment of SC/ST's. Welfare
Department has been made nodal department for TSP and SCSP schemes.
The funds allocated under TSP and SCSP are proportionate to the ST and
SC population of the State. Moreover, the funds allocated for their benefits
are non-divertible in nature.
6.7 Proposed Annual Plan (2008-09)

The Annual State Plan 2008-09 has been proposed to be at Rs. 801500.00
lakh. Out of the State Plan proposal a sum of Rs. 411184.00 lakh has been
earmarked for Tribal Sub-Plan (TSP) and a sum of Rs. 101275.00 lakh for
Special Component Sub-Plan (SCSP).
42
7. ISSUES/CONCERNS OF JHARKHAND STATE

(To be addressed by GOI & Planning Commission)
54% of the population of the State in rural areas are below poverty line.
The problem of poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, insufficient health
services and shortage of drinking water facility is acute in the State. The
ST population in the State is higher than the national average. The State
lacks in basic infrastructure pertaining to irrigation, electricity, road,
health care and rail transport. If the infrastructure is put in place,
Jharkhand would certainly be able to bring about inclusive economic
development.
7.1. ROAD / RAIL / AIR CONNECTIVITY

• The State Govt. has signed MoUs with large industrial houses for setting
up industries in the State and this has created possibilities of investment
of more than Rs. 2 lakh crores. These investments will materialize only if
there is necessary infrastructure in place in the State. Govt. of India and its
agencies can play an important role in this regard. There is need to
improve and strengthen national highways and rail network in the State.
National Highways
• The length of National Highways in Jharkhand is 1844.07 km, of which
833 km is single/intermediate lane. The State does not have any Four
Lane National Highway, except NH-2 (G.T. Road), which is 192 km long
traversing through three districts of Hazaribagh, Giridih and Dhanbad.
Under Central Road Fund, the Government of India mobilizes
approximately Rs. 275 crore annually from the State of Jharkhand.
• For improvement and maintenance of National Highways in the State of
Jharkhand, the Ministry of Shipping, Road Transport & Highways
releases a nominal sum of approximately Rs. 53 crore under NH(O)
head, Rs. 15 crore(approx.) under PR head and Rs. 7 crore (approx.)
under OR head, which is highly insufficient for maintenance of such vast
stretches of the National Highways in the State. The entire pavement crust
of national Highway also needs to be upgraded and strengthened due to
multifold enhancement in axle-load factor caused by increase in mining
and industrial activity.
• The National Highway Authority of India has been entrusted the
additional task of Four Laning of NH-33 under NHDP-IIIA(Hazaribagh-
Ranchi) and NHDP- HlB(Ranchi-Jamshedpur). But so far no concrete
43
result has come out, despite inviting tenders thrice to take up the task of
Four Laning of Ranchi-Hazaribagh portion of NH-33 under BOT.
Under this situation, it is expected that Four Laning of NH-33
should either be taken up on annuity basis by the NHAI or should be
taken up through its own funds by NHAI/MoSRT&H.
• It is also submitted that Four Laning of NH-31 from Bihar border via
Koderma upto NH-2 at Barhi, four Laning of NH-33 from Barhi upto
Hazaribagh and from Jamshedpur to Baharagora should be taken up on
priority basis.
• Additionally, four Laning of NH-75, NH-23, NH-32 and NH-6 should

also be taken up on priority basis by the MoSRT&H.
• Under National Highway Development Project IV, which provides for

upgradation of single/intermediate lane National Highways, the State
Government has identified 833.18 km National Highways in the State of
Jharkhand to be upgraded to two lanes with paved shoulders.
• Under National Highway Development Project V1IA, which

provides for construction of by-passes, the State Government has
identified and proposed by-passes for Ranchi, Hazaribagh, Bokaro,
Dhanbad, Medninagar, Chaibasa and Chakradharpur, measuring a
total length of 225.089 km.
State Highways
• As submitted on earlier occasions, the ambitious project of opening
of a new corridor from Govindpur to Sahebganj together with a
bridge over the river Ganga at Sahebganj is also expected to be taken
up.
The State Government has taken initiative to seek funds from
the Asian Development Bank, which is under process to take up the
construction and strengthening of road from Govindpur to Sahebganj
section, which would connect NH-2 with NH-80.
• The construction of bridge over the river Ganga spanning a length of
5.5 km will cost a whooping sum of nearly Rs. 1000 crore for which
Central assistance is requested as also sharing of cost with the State Govt.
of Bihar.
This corridor will open up access to North-East via Silliguri. With
the opening of this corridor, it is expected that the backward region of
Jamtara, Dumka and Sahebganj will get opportunity for increased
economic activities. Keeping in view the importance of this project for
the State, this State Highway needs to be notified as NH and this
44
corridor linking Govindpur on NH-2 to Katihar on NH-80 should also be

taken up on priority basis.
Construction of Rail Over bridge in Jharkhand

• The State Government has identified 21 railway crosses over bridges
(ROBs). The railway overbridges are expected to be constructed for
safety of railways as well as safety of road traffic. The State Government
is agreeable to take up construction of such ROBs on 50:50 cost sharing
basis.
Approval of such ROBs should be accorded at the earliest so
as to extend the benefit of such project to the public at the earliest.
Setting up of a Regional Engineers Training Institute

• There is no Regional Engineers Training Institute for imparting
knowledge about the latest technological innovations, upgradation of
skills, etc. for the Engineers in the entire Eastern Region.
It is requested that such Training Institute be set up for the
Eastern Region in the State of Jharkhand under support from CRF, etc.
by MoSRT&H, for which the State Government would provide sufficient
land free of cost.
• After creation of the State, new rail projects worth Rs. 2000 crores were
taken up with a contribution of 67% from the meagre state resources. The
MOU signed with the Railway has expired in Feb. 2007. Most of the
projects are incomplete. There is an urgent need to renew the lease and
speed up work on these projects so that they should be completed within
the stipulated time schedule. The State has repeatedly requested that the
investment for these rail projects should be met from the railway
resources. After the marked improvement in the finances of the railways,
the request of State Govt. should be given due consideration.
• Railways earn more than 50% of its freight revenue from Jharkhand
region. The Govt. of Jharkhand has requested for certain new essential
Railway lines to be taken up on priority basis. These will boost the
possibility of setting up of industries in this region, under various MoUs
already signed for units in steel and power sectors.
7.2. POWER
• The State Govt. has taken up rural electrification programme on a large
scale under the “Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Vidyutikarn Yojana” (RGGVY). It
is considered necessary that a general exemption under section 2 of the
Forest Conservation Act, 1980 is granted for carrying out the work related
45
to rural electrification as this will help speed up the implementation of the

schemes under this programme.
• Nuclear Power can play an important role in increasing power availability
in the State. Jharkhand is an important source of uranium in the country.
A Nuclear Power Plant should be set up in the State.
• At present, there is no central sector scheme for power transmission. The
State is experiencing difficulties in inter/intra state power transmission in
the absence of adequate transmission network. It is, therefore, requested
that a 'Central Sector Scheme' should be taken up for improvement/
strengthening of power transmission system.
• In case of Hydel Power Projects, 12% free power is provided to the host
states. This provision should be made applicable for Thermal Power
Projects also, where pit head plants are planned to be located. To some
extent, this will offset the ill effects of environmental degradation and
rehabilitation of the affected people.
• Present allocation of power from proposed 4000 MW Ultra Mega Power
Project in the State is 1000 MW. In view of ongoing RGGVY programme
and growing demand from industries the State will require more power.
Therefore, allocation of power from proposed 4000 MW UMPP requires to
enhancement to 1500 MW.
7.3. COAL / MINERALS

• The Coal India and its subsidiaries mine over 100 million tons of coal each
year. We request that preference should be given for coal linkages from
the mines in the State, to industries being set up in Jharkhand. The policy
on coal linkage needs to be reviewed so that the economic interests of a
poor state like Jharkhand are protected.
• State Govt. has signed MoUs with 10 Corporate houses for setting up pit
head coal based Independent power plants. Captive coal blocks may be
released against these MoUs so that the work starts early.
• The State is committed to utilize rich wealth of its mineral resources to
bring prosperity to its residents. It is, therefore, necessary that the
National Mineral Policy (NMP) should give priority in grant of mineral
concessions to value adders in the State. The policy should also aim at
gradual reduction in export of iron ore and allocate mines for captive use.
• Despite recommendations of the 12th Finance Commission and the Hoda
Committee, Ad-valorem rates of royalty for coal and iron ore is yet to be
notified. The royalty regime needs to be shifted to an Ad-valorem basis
urgently.
46
• The iron ore deposits of Jharkhand as reported by Indian Bureau of Mines

are approximately 3.7 billion tonnes. Out of this deposit, Steel Authority
of India and IISCO hold on to a deposit of over 2.4 billion tonnes in the
Chiriya / Gua group of mines in 10 leases covering an area of approx 4.9
Th. Ha. With the present level of exploitation of Iron Ore from such lease
hold area (varying between 0.5 to 0.7 MTA), SAIL thus has reserves for
2000 years in the aforesaid leases. The National Steel Policy 2005 envisages
to produce about 110 MTA of hot metal by the year 2020. Out of this
target, SAIL's growth plan states that it aspires to maintain its production
in the Indian Steel Industry at a level of about 28%.
• The National Policy further states "State Govt. would recommend renewal
of existing leases only against credible mining investment plans in a
specified manner". Therefore it is imperative that due scrutiny is required
to be made of all the leases of SAIL before the same are renewed. In the
light of the National Policy and the SAIL's growth plan, the State Govt. is
of the considered view that SAIL perhaps could be allowed to retain 1
billion tonnes of ore in Jharkhand and return the rest to the State Govt. for
value additions within the State and thus enhance the Steel making
capacity through various investors, who have shown keen interest for
investment in Jharkhand.
7.4. IRRIGATION
• In Jharkhand, 70-80% people depend on agriculture and allied activities.
The net sown area is 29.74 lakh ha. The State has low agricultural
productivity because less cropped area is only under assured irrigation
system.
• Another reason for under development of agriculture is predominance of
food crops. In order to encourage agricultural diversification, extension
activities need strengthening. Jharkhand has great possibilities in
'Horticulture' & 'Floriculture' and efforts are being made for their
development.
• Irrigation plays an important role in the development of agriculture. Only
22% of the net sown area enjoys irrigation facility as against the national
average of 40%. To augment irrigation facility, many schemes are being
implemented. If available water resources could be tapped and utilized
properly, irrigation capacity can be increased substantially in the State.
Govt. of India should take up 'Seed Replacement Scheme' and scheme for
creating irrigation facility on the field itself as Centrally Sponsored
Schemes, to achieve higher growth rate in agriculture sector.
• Jharkhand Govt. has taken up Swarnrekha Multipurpose Project which
aims to provide irrigation facilities in poverty stricken tribal areas of
Jharkhand, West Bengal and Orissa. The Govt. of India should take up
47
Swarnrekha Multipurpose Project as a National Project. If so done, it will

provide irrigation to 2.65 lakh ha..
• As per existing policy of Govt. of India, investment clearance is required
from Govt. of India for receiving financial assistance under AIBP. All
ongoing projects under AIBP in Jharkhand are roughly 25-30 years old. As
a result there has been many fold increase in the original project cost. On
account of this, six projects under AIBP are not getting investment
clearance. Consequently, irrigation potential of 41,000 ha. will not be
created. According to the new policy of MOWR new projects under AIBP
are sanctioned only after completion of the ongoing AIBP projects.
Because of the non-completion of existing AIBP projects, seven incomplete
projects which fulfill the criteria for inclusion under AIBP will not be
taken up in view of the existing policy. As a result, 1.27 lakh ha. of
additional irrigational potential could not be created. Our request is that
this policy needs to be relaxed for the States like Jharkhand.
• In view of the greater scope for development in the State, there is a need
to augment more water in Swarnarekha Basin. This could be possible by
forging linkage with South Koel river and Sankh river as well as linking
of river Ganga, Damodar and Swarnarekha. This would help the State in
augmentation of additional water in Swarnarekha basin and also for
making the downstream Swarnarekha navigable. Govt. of India is
requested to take up a techno economic study in this regard urgently.
7.5. FOREST
• The different legislations relating to forest and environment conservation
have hampered the essential developmental activities in the State. Most of
the State land, particularly where water and mineral resources are
available, and where projects can be set up, is classified as forest.
• The State Govt. was given the power to divert less than 1 ha. of forest land
for certain specified category of schemes upto 31st Dec. 2006. This power
needs to be revived.
• Jharkhand has around 30% of its land under forest cover as against the
national average of 23%. The sites selected for many irrigation and
developmental schemes include forest land also. The State may not have
suitable land free from forest area. Many developmental schemes can not
be implemented because of various provisions of Forest Conservation Act,
1980. The State is experiencing great difficulty in locating land for
compensatory afforestation. Steps should be taken to amend the related
laws immediately. While determining the parameters in this regard, the
available forest cover in the State and its present economic and social
48
status should be kept in mind. We would also suggest that for

compensatory afforestation, the State Govt. and private companies should
be allowed to use degraded forest land as is done in case of Central Govt.
projects. The provisions of the Forest Conservation Act should not be
made applicable to those projects which were sanctioned before the
coming into force of this law. The States which have more forest cover
than the National average should be given special financial assistance for
preservation and conservation of forests.
7.6. HEALTH
• The Centre has launched the National Rural Health Mission, but there is
no physical infrastructure to deliver primary healthcare to our people. At
the time of formation of the state, there was shortage of 37% Health
Centres, 64% Primary Health Centres and 82% Community Health
Centres, as per the norms of Govt. of India. To meet the shortage, heavy
investments are required. The Govt. of India should extend necessary
financial support in this regard taking into account the actual availability
and not the availability on national average basis.
7.7. HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

• In the last few years, as a result of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, the number of
students requiring secondary education has increased substantially. We
feel that Government of India should consider setting up large number of
secondary schools and Central Schools in the country for quality
education.
• It has been observed that children belonging to poor families could not go
to schools because their families depended upon the earnings of these
children. We think that the law banning child labour even in non-
hazardous areas is a step in the right direction. But, it is also necessary, that
in order to make sending children to schools attractive, for the BPL
families, these children should be given stipend. It will have a preventive
effect on the practice of child labour. Government of India should consider
starting a Centrally Sponsored Scheme in this regard.
• The Programme period of Sarwa Siksha Abhiyan (SSA) should be
extended till end of the 11th Plan period. The Govt. of India should a new
scheme on the lines of SSA in the Secondary Education Sector.
• Scheme for financial assistance to colleges located in Educationally
Backward Blocks should be launched.
• Vocational Schools located in Educationally Backward Blocks should be
financially supported.
49
7.8 Food grains Supply

The State Govt. is not getting full quota of food grains allocated by Govt.
of India under different schemes due to non-availability of sufficient
Railways rakes and insufficient storage capacity with FCI. At present, FCI
caters to 22 districts through 10 Food Supply Depots having storage
capacity of 1 lakh tones whereas it requires 1.50 tones of storage capacity.
FCI or CWC should build additional godowns immediately at all locations
where the delivery of food grains have to be made.
7.9 National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA)

The States, which have poor infrastructure and are economically
backward, should be allowed to take up infrastructure related schemes
under NAREGA.
8. RELEASE OF 12TH FINANCE COMMISSION GRANTS

The 12th Finance Commission Grants meant are not being released by
G.O.I. as elections have not been held. Elections to PRI's in Jharkhand
were notified but had to be cancelled following a High Court Judgement
in an election related matter. The issue is pending before the Hon'ble
Supreme Court now. G.O.I. is also a party to this case. In these
circumstances, the 12th Finance Commission Grants should be released
conditionally that elections will be held within a reasonable period (say 6
months ) of the judgement of the Supreme Court. Non release of Grant
(about 96.40 crores per annum) is hurting the interest of the poor people of
the State.
9. SPECIAL ECONOMIC PACKAGE

• Special economic packages have been given to North Eastern States,
Sikkim, Jammu & Kashmir, Uttranchal and Himachal Pradesh, this facility
has not been extended to Jharkhand with the result the industrial units,
which could have come up in Jharkhand are shifting to these States. There
is need to extend the package to Jharkhand also. Jharkhand is a poor State.
The topography of Jharkhand is hilly and undulating and the terrain
difficult. In view of development indices, Jharkhand also needs to be
included in the special category of States for central assistance purposes.
• Government of India should define State specific developmental plans
and policies and growth targets, which would bring the backward States
at par with the developed States of the country within next five to ten
years. For this, the requisite investments should be made available by both
the Government of India and the respective State Govt. We strongly
believe that till all around development takes place in the backward states,
50
the problem of extremism can not be tackled. Development is the only

effective solution for this problem. There is, therefore, need to develop
infrastructure in the backward states
I.A. AGRICULTURE
1. INTRODUCTION
Jharkhand with an area of 79.71 lakh ha and a population of 27 m is
primarily a rural economy. About 75% population resides in rural areas
and 66.85% of the total labour force is dependent on agriculture. Out the
of the total 22 districts of the state, the districts of Dumka, Jamtara, Godda,
Chatra, Gumla, Simdega, Lohardaga, Saraikela and all the three districts
of Palamau division has more than 75% working population engaged in
agricultural activities, either as cultivators or as agricultural labourers. In
Gumla and Simdega districts, more than 85% of the total workers are
engaged in agriculture.
The agriculture sector suffers from low capital formation and low
productivity. The institutional credit flow to the agriculture sector is
negligible and agricultural extension activities need to be strengthened.
The state has been categorized under agro climatic zone VII known as
Eastern Plateau and Hill Region and is further divided into 3 sub zones
viz. Central and North Eastern Plateau, Western Plateau and South-
Eastern Plateau.
Average annual rainfall of these zones varies from 1300 mm to 1400 mm
out of which 80% is received during four monsoon months (June-
September). The assured irrigation is available to hardly 8-11% area
during kharif, 6% during rabi and 1-2% during summer season. In the
absence of perennial river system, the agriculture is largely rain
dependent .
Agricultural economy of the state is characterized by the existence of large
number of small and marginal farmers. Agriculture operation in the state
is of the subsistence type due to the adverse land: man ratio. Land
distribution pattern among the cultivators is highly iniquitous and a large
number of holdings are uneconomic. On the whole, about 83 %
operational holdings are below 2.0ha, covering only 37% of the gross area.
Only 0.69% operational holdings are above 10 ha covering over 9% area.
Majority of the farmers thus fall under the category of small and marginal
farmers subsisting on a very small earning from farming occupation. They
51
have little or no resources of their own to provide for inputs needed to

increase the agricultural productivity.
One of the important factors for under development character of
agriculture is predominance of cereal crops in the state. About 92%
cropped area is covered under food grains and hardly 3-5% area is under
cash crops. 40% of the total cropped area remains largely mono-cropped
under rice. The lack of diversity in the cropping pattern makes the farmers
all the more vulnerable against any downward deviation in rainfall.
The growth in agriculture sector has a strong bearing on the growth of
other sectors and consequently the GSDP. This emphasizes the fact that
the planned strategies for the socio-economic development of the State
should be such so as to facilitate faster growth and development of
agriculture, horticulture and other allied sub-sectors. Keeping this in view,
various programmes were implemented during 10th Plan period such as -
Seed to the farmers:
Crop diversification:
Agricultural mechanization:
Rejuvenation of existing infrastructure:
Technology transfer:
Seed production:
Initiatives in Horticulture:
Extension activities in agriculture
Seed treatment
Agromet Advisory Services
Thus in 10th plan periods, major thrust was given to enhance crop
coverage, soil and water conservation, reduction in production cost,
agriculture mechanization, diversification of up land and medium land
through horticulture based activities; generating a driving force in
agricultural extension programmes, increase in crop production and
productivity through increasing seed replacement ratio and strengthening
capacity building among farmers.

to 4.03 lakh ha.
150 tractors/Mini tractors and 2430 agricultural implements
distributed to farmers on subsidy basis.
22 agricultural farms one each in every district being developed as
model agricultural farms.
55 block nurseries and 1 progeny orchard have been rejuvenated.
“Soil Profile Cards” are being provided to the farmers on the basis of
soil sample collected from their fields.
A State level Soil Conservation Training Centre has been developed at
Nagri, Ranchi.
Extension Training Centre, Hehal and Soil Conservation Training
Centre, Demotand, Hazaribagh have been strengthened.
The establishment of KVKs in 22 districts of the state has been
facilitated.
Agricultural Technology Management Agency (ATMA) in 22 districts
are being Strengthen.
10 seeds villages have been developed for paddy which have produced
33000 quintals of HYV of paddy in 2006-07.
17 seeds villages for cereals are being developed.
24 vegetables seeds villages have been developed through SHG.
8000 thousand acres of additional areas have been brought under
multiple cropping.
A Bio-technology centre has been established in BAU for development
of research and education in agriculture.
During the Tenth Plan period (2002-07), there has been marked increase in
crop coverage, crop productivity and crop intensity. The launch of NHM
has caused impact on precision farming and commercial venture in
Horticulture. There has been 19% increase in the area of vegetable and
spices. There has been 28% increase in the area of fruits. Increased Crop
coverage and rise in crop productivity have shown silver lining. The
Planning Commission is targeting 9.8% annual GDP growth rate during
11th Plan for Jharkhand. To achieve this target, agriculture sector is
expected to grow at 6.3% p.a. Jharkhand has great possibilities in
53
Agriculture, Horticulture and Floriculture and efforts are being made for
their development.

I.B ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
1. INTRODUCTION
Animal Husbandry plays an important role in Socio-economic
transformation of rural areas by providing gainful employment
particularly to small, marginal farmers and agriculture labour.
Development of Animal Husbandry has been envisaged as an integral
part of diversified agriculture. Most of the rural house holds of this State
have one or the other livestock rearing activity in their backyard. The
Animal Husbandry programmes provide good returns in a low gestation
period with minimal investment.
According to the 17th livestock census, 2003, the livestock in the State is as
under:-
Cattle - 7658721
Buffaloes - 1343494
Sheep - 679929
Goat - 5031016
Pig - 1107930
59
Horses and Poney - 4925

Dog - 485345
Poultry - 14429279
The cattle are generally poor producers due to inadequate nutrition, poor
management, tropical heat and diseases. Despite these factors, this
sector's contribution to income generation, providing employment and
gender empowerment is recognised.
The objective of Animal Husbandry is to develop livestock rearing as a
source of gainful employment by improving the productivity.

I.C. DAIRY DEVELOPMENT
1. INTRODUCTION
Dairy is important to supplement income and reduce under-employment

of small and marginal farmers and agricultural labourers. It also helps in
improving the nutritional standard of the people. It has been realized that
dairy development could be used as a tool for bringing about socio-
economic change among the rural farming community by providing milk
production as a subsidiary occupation. There is tremendous potential for
milk production activities in this State. There is adequate market potential
for sale of milk and milk products in this State due to a number of
industrially developed areas.
As per 2003 census data, there are 76.59 lakh cows and 13.43 lakh
buffaloes in Jharkhand. Yet the per cattle productivity is very low. It
stands at 1.59 kg per cattle per day against the National average is 3 kg per
cattle per day. Per capita availability of milk is just 140 gms per person per

I.D. FISHERIES
1. INTRODUCTION
The fisheries development programme plays an important role in
development of rural areas of Jharkhand, which has good inland water
resources. Fish serves to supplement the nutritional food requirement of
the people, its production generates additional employment opportunities
and thus improves the income level in rural areas.
The vast inland fisheries resources in the State of Jharkhand are in the
form of ponds, bandhs, reservoirs and lakes covering a total water area of
about 1,32,676 hectares scattered all over the State particularly in rural
areas. The Jharkhand State lags in fish production inspite of suitable agro-
climatic conditions. Against the national average of 2150 Kg/Hectare/
year, the present level of fish production in Jharkhand is about 1435
Kg/Hectare/year. The main reason for this is that most of the tanks are
very old and practically unsuitable for fish culture due to heavy siltation
situation and weed infestation.
Achievements
6 new fish hatcheries at Ranchi, Latehar, Palamu, Deoghar, Dumka
and Hazribag were established.
280 new ponds of 0.30 acres each belonging to ST farmers were
constructed on 100% subsidy basis.
25 old revenue ponds were renovated
300 lakh fish fingerling-stocking were done in different reservoirs.
22 lakh Fish Seed were distributed.
2000 fishermen were trained.
200 fishermen trained in Andhra Pradesh and CIFRI, Bairakpur in
modern fish farming techniques.
1200 pucca houses distributed to poor homeless Fishermen under a

below the poverty line. During 1999-2000 the Govt. of India has decided
that 20% of the IAY fund will be utilised to tackle the problem of
upgrading the unserviceable kachcha houses in the rural areas. The
remaining 80% of the funds are targeted specially for new houses to the
shelter less rural BPL households. Under this programme, together with
new construction and upgradation schemes there is another component
called “Credit cum subsidy scheme for rural housing”.
Physical target for 2008-09
New Construction : 49207
Upgradation : 24630

III.A. MAJOR AND MEDIUM IRRIGATION
1. INTRODUCTION
Approximately 75 - 80% of the population is dependent on agriculture
sector for their livelihood. Existing irrigation coverage as per 3rd M.I.
Census is merely 22% of the available arable land (as against the national
coverage of over 40%). Irrigation is, therefore, the critical factor for
increasing agricultural production & productivity.
By the end of March’ 2007, 6.8297 lakh ha. irrigation potential has been
created after completion of 1 major, 98 medium irrigation projects and a
number of minor irrigation schemes.
Given the existing under developed status of the irrigation sector in the
state as well as the promise it holds for a breakthrough in the assault
against poverty a multi pronged strategy is being employed with the
following main components –
(a) Increase irrigation coverage through a mix of major,
medium, minor irrigation schemes and ground water
schemes
(b) Making existing irrigation network more efficient
(c) Move towards effective Participatory Irrigation Management
(PIM) and
(d) Strengthen and upgrade the administrative infrastructure &
improve the existing delivery and monitoring mechanism.

96
Achievement
Two medium irrigation schemes, namely, Latratu and Tapkara were
completed, creating an additional irrigation potential of 3560 Ha.
13500 Ha. of irrigation potential was created from Subernrekha
Multipurpose Project, Ajay Barrage Project, Kansjore, Katri,
Dhansinghtoli, Sonua and Upper Sankh Reservoir Projects uptill now.
28,520 Ha. of lost irrigation potential was restored from 45 old medium
irrigation projects.
246 Check Dams/ Series Check Dams were constructed creating 18,372
ha. of irrigation potential.
1845 Micro-lift irrigation schemes were completed creating 18,644 ha. of
286 MI schemes were completed creating 10309 ha. of irrigation
potential.
424 Ahar / Ponds were constructed creating 5668 ha. of irrigation
potential.
3304 dug wells of different-dia were dug-up creating 3906 ha. of
10 Lift Irrigation projects were completed creating 380 ha. of irrigation
potential.
221 MI project/Check Dam Project, 58 LI Projects and Old Water Bodies
were renovated restoring 15,436 ha. of lost irrigation potential.
At the beginning of the 10th Plan assured irrigation was available to only 8% of
cultivable area. During the 10th Plan period, it was increased to 22 % (As per
Third Minor Irrigation Census report). Our target is to bring 25% of the total
cultivable land under assured irrigation by 2010.
Objectives
Major irrigation project are to be completed in a time bound manner.
Through proper management of water irrigated area may be increased
by another 10-15 % of cultivable area. Moisture level and under
ground table may also improve through ground water recharging.
Thrust may be given on minor and lift irrigation projects as they are
more suitable and economical and have short gestation period.
2. EARMARKED SCHEME

undulating topography. The annual precipitation in this State is 1300 mm
to 1400 mm. Minor & lift irrigation schemes are more suitable for this
region as they are economical to construct and have low gestation period
and do not involve any major land acquisition problem or displacement of
population.
Out of the total cultivable area (29.74 lakh ha.), only 12.765 lakh ha. can be
irrigated through Major and Medium Irrigation Schemes while the
remaining area has to be covered through Minor / Lift Irrigation
/Ground Water Schemes.

1. INTRODUCTION:
The Road infrastructure in Jharkhand requires augmentation. Growth of

population and vehicles has burdened the existing road network. This
needs to be taken care of by means of maintenance, upgradation and
construction.
At present, the roads in the state of Jharkhand have following deficiencies:
Inadequate width
Missing links/ Bridges
Inadequate Pavement thickness
Weak and Narrow Bridges
Inadequate Curves/Super Elevation
Poor Riding Quality
Deficient Traffic Safety Provisions
Bottle necks due to congestion and railway level crossing
The Road infrastructure of the state is divided basically into three
categories -
a. National Highway
b. State Highway & Major District Roads.
c. Rural Roads & Minor District Roads.
National Highways is the primary system of roads. Similarly State
Highways, Major Districts Roads (MDR) and other roads provide
secondary system and the Rural Roads and Minor District Roads provide
tertiary systems. The present availability of these roads is as follows:
Category of roads Approx length (Kms)

National Highways including NH-2 1844 Km
(transferred to NHDP)

114
State Highways & PWD Roads including 6880 Km

Major District roads (including urban roads)
The National Highways are the responsibility of the Ministry of Surface

Transport, Govt. of India. These are maintained by funding from GoI by
the Road Construction Department as its "Agency". The State Highways ,
Major District Roads and other roads known as "PWD Roads" are the
property of Road Construction Department, GoJ . These roads are
maintained and developed by Road Construction Department, GoJ
primarily through funding from State Budget. The other sources of
funding are central assistance or other schemes like state's share in Central

VII.A SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
1. INTRODUCTION
The situation of Jharkhand inherited inadequate and poor technical
education infrastructure, the State has launched a drive to bring about
substantial enhancement in the access to technical education for the
students of the State as well as enhancing quality and standards of Science
and Technical education. Programmes, which have been launched by the
State Government, are oriented towards substantial capacity addition by
taking up establishment of new Institutions such as Engineering Colleges,
Polytechnics, Centers for Advanced Studies in Departments of
Universities/Colleges.
Investments in the Government sector have been proposed to be
substantially stepped up and at the same time all out efforts are proposed
to mobilize private sector investment as well as launch joint venture
initiatives and projects based upon PPP model so that the largest possible
number of students from Jharkhand are benefited and are able to have
access to the means of Higher education in Science and Technology at
reasonable cost so that they do not have to migrate to other States for the
same.
Strategy / Initiatives
The State Government has decided to take the following steps for
improvement in science and technology education both in qualitative and
quantitative terms -
• To complete the construction and establishment of four

Engineering Colleges in the Government sector at Ramgarh,
Chaibasa Dumka & Deoghar. The Construction work commenced
during 2007-08.
• To mobilize private sector investments through invitation of
Expression of Interest and making available the necessary
Government infrastructure on approved terms. On the basis of the
invitation of the EOI, (06) six nos. of proposed Institutions [(05) five
Engineering Colleges plus (01) one Polytechnic)] have already been
recommended for consideration for approval by the AICTE.
• Efforts are being made to mobilize joint sector collaboration with
public sector/ private sector undertakings/ industries, in particular
with Vinova Bhave University, SAIL. XLRI, NIFFT for the purpose
of setting up Engineering, Management Colleges/ Polytechnics in
the joint sector.

121
• Sustained efforts will be made to facilitate setting up of

Engineering Colleges by renowned private sector investors, who
are already engaged in this field in other States.
• As a measure of quality improvement, the State has taken steps to
bring about improvement in the functioning of the existing
technical Institutions in the Government Sector. A study has
already been entrusted to XLRI to undertake evaluation of the
existing Polytechnics with the objective of substantially
augmenting their level of functioning and taken up formulation of
TEQIP Phase-II Programme on that basis.
• BIT, Sindri has already been covered in the TEQIP Programme
under the World Bank Project. Steps have been initiated for
improving the functioning of the Engineering College in the
Government sector by providing greater autonomy, creating
additional infrastructure facilities and induction and in-service
training programmes for the faculty and various other steps under
the Projects. The college has already introduced the semester
system and obtained NBA accreditation in most branches. It is
proposed to remodel the College and a project will be formulated
to enable it to achieve the deemed University status.
• Curriculum of the Polytechnics has been revised in consultation
with NITTTR and the new curriculum which is more focused
towards current needs and aspirations will be introduced from the
next financial year.
• Five new Women’s Industrial Schools are proposed to be set up
with focus on vocational education for women.
• Vocational education programmes have already been taken up in
the Polytechnics under the control of the Government. It will be
ensured that Polytechnic education in Jharkhand is strongly linked
to vocational training programmes for the weaker sections and
women as well as community development programmes.
• Setting-up of a Technical University for the State of Jharkhand not
only to affiliate higher technical Institutes but also to set up
Departments, Colleges, and Centers of advanced Study etc.

IX. A. PRIMARY EDUCATION
1. INTRODUCTION
Universalisation of Elementary Education (UEE) is the foremost task
before the State Government. State Government is taking every measure
to enroll the children of 6-14 age groups in schools. Community
mobilization has been done and VECs are managing their respective
schools. School infrastructure and teachers training is continuously
focused upon. Disabled children and out of schools children are being
mainstreamed through camp and bridge course. Still we have to go a long
way as 366000 children are out of school, Quality of education has to be
improved. The focus of 11th plan in elementary sector will lie on these
issues mainly. Keeping this in view, the State Govt. has fixed following
goals -
To enrol all out of school children
To reduce the drop-out rate by 4-5%
Provision of school Infrastructure
Strengthening of existing Primary Teachers Training colleges by
providing necessary infrastructure and other support.
Development of village education committee’s members as and school
Managers.

2.1 Sarva Siksha Abhiyan (S.S.A) [ 65 : 35 ]
SSA is the flagship scheme of elementary education which is being
implemented with the assistance of GOI and time for its completion has
been fixed till 2010. The funding pattern has been done on 65 : 35 basis
from 11th plan period. State Govt. would request with all its emphasis not
to reduce the Central support for this scheme. If required the education
Cess be raised to 4% or whatever lower rate is required.
This scheme is in its 7th year of implementation covering the entire State.
The main objective of the scheme is to enrol all the children of age group
6-14 in primary schools imparting free and compulsory education.
2.2 Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (50:50)
A special programme to improve the girl's education in the age group 6-14
will be implemented in different blocks, where women's literacy rate is
below the national average. Under this scheme, a residential schools will
be opened in those blocks.
The scheme has been launched in the year 2006-07 with the support of
GOI for drop out Girls of educationally backward blocks having 75% and
131
more ST/SC population and female literacy below the national average of
women literacy.
Like SSA share between GOI and State Government, the share pattern has
is being revised from 75:25 to 50:50 in the 11th plan period. GoJ would
request GoI to retain it at present levels. As this school is being run on a
residential basis for drop out of girls, there is a need for up gradation of
these schools up to Class 10th to avoid the further drop out of girls.
2.3 State Literacy Mission Authority ( SLMA)
The Total Literacy Campaign, Post Literacy programme, Special Literacy
drive etc are being implemented in different districts of the state through
State Literacy Mission Authority. The Government of India provides its
share in the T.S.P. districts in a ratio of 4:1 basis and in the OSP districts in
a ratio of 3:2.
2.4 Saraswati Vahini (Mid- day- Meal scheme)
The scheme has been initiated after the directions of Hon’ble Supreme

strengthening/Structural up-gradation of these schools. Civil works is
being done from S.S.A. under the ceiling and norms fixed for it. S.S.A.
provides only 9 classrooms for one Middle School where as many schools,
with more than 1000 enrolment, do not have adequate infrastructure
facilities in it. Apart from these, SSA norms do not permit for
procurement of furniture and other equipments from its fund. Due to
these constrains, state government has decided to provide fund for the
gaps which SSA is not filling.
3.1.4 Primary Teacher Training Colleges

The state has 24 PTTCs out of that 9 have been upgraded as DIETs before
1994. A plan for Teacher Education was submitted to GOI for upgradation

DIETs but GOI accorded its sanction for grant only to 9 newly upgraded
DIETs and 3 DRCs (District Resource Units) rejecting the proposal of grant
to those 9 DIETs which were upgraded during 9th plan period. As these
DIETs have a poor infrastructure, they require construction of
administrative and academic wings for its smooth functioning.
3.1.5 Seminar/ Symposium
Some special occasions/ Events/ Days have to be celebrated/ Organised
at times. A part from this procurement and publications of journals/
Booklets/ Leaflets etc. are also done. One major thing which is also

works.
3.1.6 Support to un-aided schools
There are many elementary schools which have got Government sanction
for its establishment. These schools were serving the area and its
population without any financial support from the Government. There
was a consistent demand for financial support from the Government by
these unaided schools. Keeping this in view the government has decided

IX. B. SECONDARY EDUCATION
1. INTRODUCTION
Sarwa Siksha Abhiyan (SSA) has created an excitement for education in
rural areas and number of students enrolled in Elementary Sector has
gone up. Due to higher rate of enrolment and retention, pass out from
elementary sector has increased significantly.
Keeping in view the growing number of students, coming out from
elementary schools to high schools, an elaborated plan for more high
schools has to prepared and achieved in a phased manner and within
stipulated time. In the state there are 1235 High Schools. The main
problem of Secondary Education area is the access. On an average a
student has to travel 10-15 km. to reach a high school as there is one high
school for every 18000 population against the required average of 10000
population. To reduce this, department has to double the number of high
schools in 11th plan period and has fixed following goals for Secondary
Education :
Reduction in access area by means of establishing new high schools.
Retention of enrolled students.
Improvement in girls enrolment by 10% particularly ST/SC and other
weaker sections of the society.
Development of schools by providing better school building/
furniture/Library/Laboratories/Common rooms/Toilets etc.
De linking of at least 50% degree colleges by means of providing more
+2 level schools.
Strengthening of Teachers Training Institutes.
Strengthening of SCERT.
Strengthening and modernization of field offices.
In the approach paper there was a suggestion that GoI would be
perhaps starting a CSS for Secondary Education on the Lines of SSA
for primary education. We request GoI to support GoJ in this regard.
2.1 Establishment of Residential Schools (75 : 25)

Government of India has proposed to establish Residential Schools on the
pattern of Navodaya Vidyalayas in Tribal Sub Plan area. According to this
proposal 12 Residential Schools will be opened in TSP districts of the

State. GOI has indicated that it will provide 75% share and state will have
to provide 25% share.
2.2 Computer Literacy and Computer Aided Learning
As the Information Technology (IT) is spreading rapidly, if state does not

Lohardagga, Hazaribagh, Kodarma, Giridih, Deoghar, Dumka and
Jamtara. Remaining 13 districts will have no facility of Secondary level

persons of Jharkhand are very poor. The department proposes to finance
the players for higher coaching sports institutions. It is also felt that the

1. INTRODUCTION
The Government of Jharkhand is determined to provide quality health
care services to all sections of society particularly to those who are living
in remote and difficult areas. In the Population Policy, it is expressed that
the State is fully committed to achieve replacement level fertility and
thereafter population stabilization by promoting informed choice,
widening the Contraceptive choices available, empowering communities
and women involving all stakeholders from the Private, Public, NGO,
Organized and Co-operative sectors and encouraging use of modern
Contraceptive particularly spacing methods. The ultimate goal is to
deliver the health care facility to the last village, the last household and
the last person in the State. Apart from this, National Rural Health
Mission’s objectives are to be achieved. The objective of the Eleventh Plan
2007-2012 lies in the objective of NRHM. As such, the main thirst is given
over the strengthening of Primary Health Care units. These are proposed
to be strengthened and upgraded as per IPH norms in order to make them
viable to deliver the maximum of their capabilities to the Rural masses.
The comparative health indicators in 2001 and at present stand as below: -

2.1 MEDICAL HEALTH AND PUBLIC HEALTH
2.1.1 PRIMARY HEALTH CARE (RURAL AND URBAN)

The basic objective of the NRHM is to provide accessible, affordable and
accountable health care in rural areas. Its primary focus is on making the
public health system fully functional as per Indian Public Health
Standards (IPHS) at all levels.
Taking the IPHS into account the models for community Health Centers,
Primary Health Centers and Health Sub Centers have been developed.
The fully functional public health system will include not only the
buildings to be constructed but also the proper human resources to be
placed at every public health facility. Thus while preparing the model
plan for the CHCs, PHCs and HSCs it has been ensured that not only the
health facility building but also the appropriate residential spaces are
created so that the medical personnel, paramedics and other staff can be
stationed at those facilities. This will help us in providing the public
health care services at regular basis.
The primary Health Care facilities are planned on the basis of population
norms as following:-

235
Tribal Areas General Areas

(Population for one (population for
facility) one facility)
1. Sub Center 3,000 5,000
2. Primary
30,000 20,000
Health Center
3. Community
80,000 1,20,000
Health Center
In the State, as per the above norms, there should be 7088 Health Sub
Centers. At present there are 3958 Subcenters. Out of these 1732 are
functioning in the government buildings, 1956 in the rented buildings and
270 in the rent free buildings. However, most of these subcenters are in
dilapidated condition and do not have the residences for ANMs. Thus
there is a need to make the 7088 sub-centres as new.
In the State, as per the above norms, there should be 1126 PHCs. At
present there are 330 Additional PHCs in the State, which are to be
converted into PHCs. However, these 330 APHCs do not have required
building. Thus 1126 new PHCs are to be constructed in the State. Also
construction of Labour Room in Each PHC.
The CHCs are to be placed at every blockhead quarter. There are 212 block
headquarters in the State. However, the block headquarters where District
Hospitals or Sub-divisional Hospitals are located need not be provided
with a CHC. Thus 188 CHCs are to be created. Moreover at 32 block
headquarters the 30-40 bedded Referral Hospitals are already there. Thus
now CHCs are to be created only in 156 blockhead quarters. The 32
Referral Hospitals need to be upgraded /renovated to provide the
services to be offered by CHCs.
Upgradation and extension of Health Information Management System
in all PHCs. It is proposed to cover five more Districts of the State during
2008-09.
Primary health care units include the construction & renovation of
Mother and Child Health Centre in the State.
16 Referral Hospitals are proposed to be renovated.
2.1.2 SECONDARY HEALTH CARE

social development, safeguarding the interests of weaker sections of
society including the handicapped and mentally retarded, Slum
improvement and upgradation, urban poverty alleviation, promotion of
cultural, educational and aesthetic aspects. The subject of ‘cattle pounds'
has been extended in the Twelfth Schedule to include 'prevention of
cruelty to animals'. The Constitution thus envisages urban local bodies as
being totally responsible for all aspects of development, civic services, and
environment in the cities, going far beyond the traditional role. At present,

IX.I. INFORMATION AND PUBLIC RELATION
1. INTRODUCTION
The information and Public Relations Department is having the onerous

responsibility of carrying the message of the Government to the people of
the State and also keep the government informed of the public reactions to
the schemes and measures being taken. It has to play the role of two way
traffic system. Being the backbone of the government it has to play a vital
role in the development process of the government. Its role is educative
because it has to reach the people to secure their active co-operation and
active involvement in the development and welfare activities of the
government.
To achieve these objectives, various mass media, both traditional and
modern are pressed into service. Efforts have been made in different plans
to strengthen, expand and modernise both the equipment and techniques
of mass communication, to meet the growing requirements of the
situation. Moreover, with the present Information revolution and the
pressing demand of the ‘Right of Information of people’, it has become
imperative to make the Information and Public Relations Department
proactive and responsive.

and Training is committed to provide enhanced Social Security to its old
age helpless persons, to protect the interests of its working class in the

administrative machinery we are committed to set up at least one
I.T.I.(General) in all districts and sub divisions and at least one I.T.I.
(Women) in every district so that once they become functional we can
train upto 10000 youths through them.

IX.L. SOCIAL WELFARE
1. INTRODUCTION
As we approach the beginning of the 11th Five Year Plan, the Department
of Social welfare, women and Child Development can look back with
pride the achievements of the last 5 years in the areas of nutrition, care for
the physically challenged and empowerment of women. Some of the
salient features in our campaign against malnutrition among children
between the ages of 0 to 5 are the universalisation of the nutrition
program to all the 212 blocks of the state. All children irrespective of their
caste, creed and colour are covered by this scheme, including pregnant
and lactating mothers. This is an important step in ensuring that the child
of the poorest family in the state is ensured of adequate supplementary
nutrition when it is most needed for his or her overall mental and physical
well being.
In the areas of the care of the physically challenged, one singular

achievement is the introduction of a the Swami Vivekananda Nisshakt
Swawlamban Protsahan Yojana whereby every physically challenged
person above the age of 5 years is given a monthly stipend of 200 rupees.
In all it is estimated that the state has a physically challenged population
of around 3% of the total population. Besides this, a number if initiatives
has been made to build, and commission blind schools in several districts.
One notable achievement during the last plan period was the synergy
developed between the Departments of Health and Family Welfare and
the Social Welfare Department which has given a considerable boost to
the success of routine immunization in the anganwadi Centers to children
and mothers. This synergy is to be kept intact in the coming years as well.
Empowerment of women and the care of the girl child also engaged the
attention of the Department during the 10th Plan Period and the thrust in
this area is proposed to be continued in the 11th Plan period as well. The
prevention of sexual harassment at the workplace needs special mention
as the department has spearheaded awareness campaign in all
government offices and the educational institutes. Today each department
has constituted complaints committees to take cognizance and take
corrective action against offenders.
The Department is now geared to meet the challenges of the 11th Five Year
Plan with renewed commitment to our set goals and new approaches, to
match the changes that are emerging in the society due to accelerated
Jails
235
economic growth. With the economy growing at a rate of 8% and above,

the outlook is bright. But along with accelerated economic growth there
are also certain negative trends that we have to watch out for. The 11th
Plan speaks of inclusive growth wherein the fruits of development and
growth are equitably distributed among all sections of society. We must
therefore ensure that the underprivileged and the differently enabled
persons are not left out or marginalized. We must also ensure gender
equity and protection of women at the workplace as more and more
women goes out of their homes and engages in productive economic
activity. Involvement of the non governmental agencies and the private
sector needs to be encouraged to social commitments so that a strong
partnership is built between government on the one hand and the private
sector on the other.
One thrust area during the 11th Five Year Plan is the rescue and
rehabilitation of adolescent girls who migrate from the rural heartland of
the state to big metropolitan cities who are lured on the promise of jobs
but later sexually and physically abused. With rapid economic growth,
these are the side effects which are bound to occur and the department is
committed that such vulnerable sections are protected; their problems
documented and monitored with adequate safety net and rehabilitation
schemes.
2.1 Adolescent Girls Scheme

The only scheme designated as Earmarked Scheme for the Department of
Social Welfare, Women & Child Development is the Supplementary
Nutrition for Adolescent Girls Scheme. However, as already stated in the
2006-07 Write-up and as reported to the Planning & Development
Department from time to time this earmarked scheme has ceased to have
an independent identity since the same has been amalgamated since 2006-
07 with the general ICDS Supplementary Nutrition Programme because
the latter scheme also provides SNP for adolescent girls alongwith
lactating/pregnant mother and children.
Continuing Scheme
3.1 Supplementary Nutrition Programme (SNP)

The scheme of providing supplementary nutrition to the children in the 0-
6 year groups, adolescent girls as well as pregnant and lactating mothers
Jails
235
is the flagship scheme of the Department of Social Welfare, Women &

Child Development. This scheme is being implemented through a
statewide network of 32343 Anganwadi Centres (AWCs) spread over 204
ICDS projects in Jharkhand. The food distributed on 300 days a year
contains 300+ calories and 10 gms of protein per serving. The Govt. of
India has recently revised the rate of food per serving to Rs. 2.00, Rs. 2.30
and Rs. 2.70 for normal children, adolescent girls/pregnant and lactating
mothers and under-nourished children respectively. There is no role for
contractors in the supply of the SNP food and the procurement of the
same is done at the Anganwadi level by the Sevikas concerned.
3.2 Establishment & maintenance of special schools for Spastic & Other
Disabled Children
The scheme for the spastic children is being implemented in this State
through NGOs in different blocks of the State. For this scheme funds are
provided to those NGOs that wish to open special schools for the benefit
of spastic children. It is proposed to cover under the scheme the schools
meant for non-spastic disabled children as well from the next financial
year onwards.
3.3 Scheme for Blind, Deaf & Dumb Children

The Jharkhand Government is running a number of schemes for the
overall development of persons with disabilities such as schools for the
blind and the deaf and dumb. The Government is running schools and
hostels for the deaf and dumb at Ranchi and Dumka, and a school for the
blind at Ranchi. Buildings for opening more schools for blind persons
have already been completed at Giridih, Simdega and Saraikela and
Chaibasa. Similarly, buildings for opening new schools for the deaf and
dumb have already been completed at Dhanbad, Bokaro, Hazaribagh,
Giridih, Chaibasa and Gumla. These schools are likely to be made
operational in the coming financial year.
3.4 Other Schemes for the Disabled

Apart from the above, attention is being given to the distribution of
scholarships to disabled students who are studying in various institutions
and schools run by the State Government or NGOs. The scholarship of Rs.
100.00 per month is provided for the disabled resident students studying
in Class – I to VIII in schools run by the Govt. or NGOs. The Govt. also
runs a scheme of free distribution of special aids and equipments to the
disabled persons.
Jails
235
3.5 Scheme for the Welfare and Empowerment of the Women

For the welfare and uplift of the women in the State, a number of
measures/schemes have been taken up, such as, constitution of State
Women Commission, construction of Observation Homes/Children
Homes/Special Homes, setting up of Women Helpline. The department
has earmarked separate budget for launching campaign against the evil
practice of dowry and encouraging inter-caste marriage. A programme for
running Day Care Centres for the children of working women is also
being implemented. Funds are also allotted for organizing campaigns
against the curse of witch hunting prevalent in some parts of the State.
The state Govt. also runs a scheme of imparting training to rural women
in various vocational areas to enable them to earn their livelihood.
3.6 Hostel for Working Women

The working women, particularly tribal and unmarried females hailing
from rural areas, face the problem of proper accommodation in the towns
where they work. To sort out this problem, hostels for the working
women in Dhanbad, Bokaro, Ranchi and Jamshedpur have been
constructed. These are in the process of being made functional with the
help of NGOs.
3.7 Scheme for Old Age Home

For the welfare of old aged persons two old-age homes have already come
up at Ranchi and Hazaribagh and another old-age home is being
constructed at Giridih. Steps are being taken to make them operational
through reputed NGOs.
3.8 Special Scheme for Child Delinquents, Orphans, Shelterless children &
maintenance of After Care Homes
The scheme for the orphan and destitute children is being implemented in
this State through NGOs in different blocks of the State. From the financial
year 2008-09 onwards this scheme is designed to cover maintenance of
After Care Homes too. For this scheme funds are provided to those NGOs
that are desirous of running special schools/homes and After Care
Homes.
3.9 Scheme for Purchase of Utensils

For preparation and service of Khichri under the SNP utensils are
required. Hence it is proposed under this scheme to provide utensils to
the Anganwadi Centres (AWCs) at the rate of Rs. 3000 per AWC.
3.10 Swami Vivekananda Nisshakta Svavalamban Protsahan Yojana

Since the financial year 2006-07 the govt. has started this scheme
Jails
235
whereunder an amount of Rs. 200 per month is granted to the disabled

persons of the state who, as per a survey conducted through Anganwadi
Workers, number 2,01,936. It is proposed to continue this scheme in
coming financial year as well.
3.11 Construction of buildings for Projects & AWCs

Most of the 204 Projects and 32343 AWCs are running in rental buildings.
It is, therefore, proposed to construct as many buildings for these offices
as economically feasible. For this we want to take up construction in other
7926 AWCs under State Plan at the rate of sanctioned estimate amounting
to Rs. 1,91,900 per AWC.
3.12 Weighing Machine, Growth Chart & Monitoring of ICDS Programme

The children of Jharkhand suffer from malnutrition on an alarming scale.
In fact 50% of these children are malnourished. Hence, steps are required
to be taken to ensure that the malnutrition rate is reduced by 50%. Fund is
also required to be allocated for the monitoring of the ICDS programme.
In the coming financial year as well sufficient fund is proposed to be
released for the scheme.
3.13 Grants-in-aid for NGOs.

It is now a universally acknowledged fact that better results in the field of
social welfare can be achieved if the Govt. works with competent NGOs in
tandem. As present we provide grants-in-aid from state plan fund to
NGOs working in the sectors of women helpline, spastic children,
orphan/destitute children etc. In other cases the Deptt. examines project
proposals received from NGOs and sends them forward to GOI for release
of fund. It is proposed to continue the scheme is 2008-09 as well so that
competent and reputed NGOs may be engaged in newer and newer
sectors of social welfare, such as women empowerment, old age homes,
working women's hostels, rehabilitation of children/women rescued from
brothels/domestic violence.
3.14 Establishment of Rehabilitation Centres for rescued maidservants

It is an open secret that the children and women migrate out of the state to
cities like Delhi, Mumbai, towns/villages of Haryana etc. for working as
servants for their livelihood. In many such cases they are subjected to
violence, exploitation and bondage. Some institutions work for rescuing
the victims. In most cases the rescued maidservants are initially stationed
at Delhi and then transferred to Ranchi for repatriation. For smoothly
conducting these operations it is imperative that a rescue centre at Delhi
and Ranchi each be constructed and adequate staff and accessories be
Jails
235
provided for their functioning. Especially for the Delhi rescue centre a
post of competent rank should be created for liasoning the repatriation
activities. Therefore the scheme which was introduced in the last financial
year is proposed to be continued and strengthened.
3.15 Mukhyamantri Kanyadan Yojana

From financial year 2007-08 onwards this scheme is being executed by the
Department of Social Welfare, Women & Child Development. Under this
scheme newly married females belonging to the BPL category are given Rs
5000/- in cash and utensils worth Rs. 5000.
