Ranchi is the capital of the Indian state of Jharkhand.

Jharkhand accounts for 40% of the mineral resources of India,Earlier most of the part in Jharkhand was covered by forest but now due to urbanization trees are cut and forest cover is depleting fast.Ranchi accounts for 50% mineral production of the state[citation needed], nearing about 18% of nation's mineral production. For this reason Ranchi is also called the Manchester of the East.Since 2011 census ranchi now is one of the 53 million plus cities of india and stands as the 46th largest city out of top 53.[citation needed]. Ranchi was the centre of the Jharkhand movement[1] for a separate state for the tribal regions of South Bihar, northern Orissa, Western West Bengal and the present eastern Chhattisgarh. Jharkhand State was formed on 15 November 2000 by carving the Bihar divisions of Chota Nagpur and Santhal Parganas. The name Ranchi comes from the original Oraon village Archi at the site.[2] Archi derives from the Oraon word for bamboo grove or stave. According to legend, after an altercation with a spirit, a farmer beat the

spirit with his bamboo stave or archi. The spirit shouted archi, archi, archi and vanished; Archi became Rachi, and Rachi became Ranchi.[3] Up to 1927, the place was known as Rachi[citation needed]. One historically significant neighborhood is Doranda ('duran' ' song and 'daah' ' ' means

' means water in the Mundari language), between

the Hinoo (Bhusur) & Harmoo Rivers, where the civil station, treasury and church established by the British Raj were destroyed by rebel forces during the Sepoy Mutiny.[4] The present Purani (old) Ranchi marks the site of the old village of Archi. Geography

Ranchi is located at 23.35N 85.33E.[5] The total area covered by the Ranchi municipal area is 175.12 square kilometres and the average elevation of the city is 629 m above sea level.

Ranchi is located on the southern part of the Chota Nagpur plateau which forms the eastern edge of the Deccan plateau. Ranchi is referred to as the "City of Waterfalls", due to the presence of numerous large and small falls of around the close vicinity of the city. The most popular ones are Dasham, Hundru, Jonha Falls, Hirni and Panchghat. The Subarnarekha river and its tributaries constitute the local river system. Dams in Kanke, Rukka and Hatia have been built over these channels to cater to the water requirements of majority the population. Ranchi has a hilly topography and its combination with dense tropical forests ensures that it enjoys a comparatively moderate climate compared to the rest of the state. Previously, it was accorded a 'hill station' status during the British rule. Rapid population growth and industrialization have caused considerable change in the weather pattern and rise in average temperatures. This has resulted in gradual loss of this "Hill Station" like status.

Climate

Ranchi has a humid subtropical climate. However, due to its position and the forests around the city, it is known for its pleasant climate. Its climate is the primary reason why Ranchi was once the summer capital of the undivided State of Bihar. Temperature ranges from maximum 42 to 20 C during summer, and from 25 to 0 C during winter.December and January are the coolest months with temperature getting to freezing point in some places of the city.The annual rainfall is about 1430 mm (56.34 inches). From June to September the rainfall is about 1,100 mm. Industry

The term industry refers to a field or an organization involved in the production of goods or extraction of natural resources. The economy of

a country depends on the industries it has. The more industries a country has the more economically rich and stable it is. The type of an industry a country mostly depends on relies on the presence of the available resources in the country. However only the presence of resources is not enough for the industry to work, it is important that the amount used for the production of good is exceeded by the amount taken for its consumption. Hard work and labor are another factor for the industry to work. The presence of many and successful industries in a country make it economically stable not only because it increases the chance of trade but it also enhances the employment structure of the country. The more industries in a country the more scope and chances for the people to earn. One of the many reasons why some countries have left behind others and are successful and rich is the presence of many industries. Types of industry

Extractive industries are concerned with supplying commodities, which are extracted from earth. The products of these industries are generally used by manufacturing and constructive industries for making finished goods.

Genetic industries refer to industries under which plants and animals are grown for the purpose of sale to the consumers.

Manufacturing industries are those, which convert the raw materials or semi-finished goods into finished products.

Construction industries are concerned with the construction of building, dams, road and etc. the raw materials that are used by these industries are the products of manufacturing industries.

Services industries Business provides not only goods but also services. Services industries do not produce any tangible goods. These are engaged in providing services to the public.

There are three types of Industries by Size in India. They are: 1) Large Scale Industries 2) Medium Scale Indusrties 3) Small Scale Industries

Large Scale Industries

Large scale industries refers to those industries which require huge infrastructure, man power and a have influx of capital assets. The term large scale industries is a generic one including various types

of industries in its purview. All the heavy industries of India like the Iron and steel industry, textile industry, automobile manufacturing industry fall under the large scale industrial arena. However in recent years due to the IT boom and the huge amount of revenue generated by it the IT industry can also be included within the jurisdiction of the large scale industrial sector. Last but not the least the telecoms industry also forms and indispensable component of the large scale industrial sector of India. Indian economy is heavily dependent on these large industries for its economic growth, generation of foreign currency and for providing job opportunities to millions of Indians. Medium Scale Industry A medium enterprise is an enterprise where the investment in plant and machinery (original cost excluding land and building and the items specified by the Ministry of Small Scale Industries vide its notification No. S.O. 1722(E) dated October 5, 2006) is more than Rs.5 crore but does not exceed Rs.10 crore. The definition of MSMEs under the services sector is as follows:

i. A micro enterprise is an enterprise where the investment in equipment does not exceed Rs.10 lakh; ii. A small enterprise is an enterprise where the investment in equipment is more than Rs.10 lakh but does not exceed Rs.2 crore; and iii. A medium enterprise is an enterprise where the investment in equipment is more than Rs.2 crore but does not exceed Rs.5 crore. The Indian Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) sector plays a pivotal role in the overall industrial economy of the country. It is estimated that in terms of value, the sector accounts for about 39% of the manufacturing output and around 33% of the total export of the country. Further, in recent years the MSE sector has consistently registered higher growth rate compared to the overall industrial sector. The major advantage of the sector is its employment potential at low capital cost. As per available statistics, this sector employs an estimated 31 million persons spread over 12.8 million enterprises and the labour intensity in

the MSE sector is estimated to be almost 4 times higher than the large enterprises

Small scale industry Industry is the segment of economy concerned with production of goods. Small scale industry is a term which applies to the small entrepreneurs who are engaged in manufacture and production on a micro scale. It mainly refers to agro- based rural industry which doesn't require huge capital influx and large infrastructure. These small scale industries also include the indigenous cottage industry and the handicrafts industry. The development of small scale industries is very important for a country like India which has mainly rural economy. These small scale industries which are mainly agro- based in nature would provide job for millions of Indians and would contribute largely to the overall growth of the Indian economy .The small scale industrial sector continues to remain an integral part of Indian economy with

significant contribution to GDP, industrial production and employment generation in India.

Cottage Industry Cottage Industry is a concentrated form of small scale industry where the productivity of the goods takes place in the houses of the laborers and the workforce include the members of the family. The equipments used to generate products are not the hi-tech ones but generally those which are used at homes. Cottage industry is generally unorganized in character and falls under the category of small scale industry. They produce consumable products through the use of conventional methods. These types of industries originate in the country sides where unemployment and under-employment are widespread. In this way, cottage industries help the economy by engrossing a massive amount of remaining workforce of the rural areas. But on the flip side Cottage Industry cannot be

considered as the mass producer of products. It faces major risks from medium or large industries which demand huge amount of capital investment for all types of hi-end technologies. Cottage industries in India face dearth of capital and large quantity of labor, which force them to buy capital-saving techniques. Hence, there is an urgent need for implementation of techniques which not only enhances productivity but develops skills of the laborers and meets the requirements of the local market. Endeavors should be directed towards the development of technology so that labors can enjoy a decent lifestyle. Government should also provide subsidiaries for the growth of cottage industries especially in the preliminary stages.

Ranchi industry is spread throughout the city of Ranchi and its nearby area. A large number of mining and engineering industries at Ranchi provide employment opportunities to a major portion of the population of Ranchi. Since, there are good reserves of forest and mineral resources in Ranchi, this place is considered to be an excellent place for setting up medium and large scale industries.

Some of the well known industries in Ranchi are: Chotanagpur Rope Works Private, Namkum Pragati Chemicals, Namkum Heavy Engineering Corporation, Dhurwa Bharat Mineral and Ceramic Ind., Mahilong Waxpol Ind. Limited, Tatisilway Pelriwal Hydrocarbon and Chemicals Private Limited, Mahilong Balaji Wire Ind., Mahilong

Shivnarayan Jaiswal Peivate Limited, Ranchi Ranchi Industrial Area Development Authority Ranchi Industrial Area Development Authority (RIADA), which is an autonomous body of the Bihar Government, is engaged in the development of Ranchi industry. It looks after the industrial development of seven tribal districts at Jharkhand.
