Jharkhand is a state that found in the eastern part of India. The states of West Bengal and Chhattisgarh are located to the state's east, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand are located to the state's northwest, Bihar and Odisha are located to the state's north, and Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand are located to the state's south. It has an area of 79,716 km2 in total (30,779 sq mi). It occupies the 15th spot in terms of total land area and the 14th spot in terms of total population. The state has designated Hindi as its official language. Its primary administrative centre is located in Ranchi, but Dumka serves in a supporting role. The state is well-known for its holy spots, as well as its hills and waterfalls. Important religious sites in the state include Baidyanath Dham, Parasnath, Dewri, and Rajrappa. On November 15, 2000, the region that had previously been considered the southern half of Bihar was partitioned off to become its own state.
In spite of the fact that it is responsible for more than 40 percent of India's natural resources, the state of Jharkhand has a poverty rate of 39.1 percent and a malnutrition rate of 19.6 percent among children under the age of five. This phenomenon is frequently referred to as a "resource curse." The majority of Jharkhand's population lives in rural areas, with just roughly 24% of its people residing in cities. It is one of the states that is contributing the most to the overall economic expansion. The growth rate of the state's GDP was 10.22% in the 2017–18 fiscal year.
The state of Jharkhand extends over a total landmass that is 7,970,00 hectares. The Chota Nagpur Plateau is home to a significant portion of Jharkhand. The Chota Nagpur plateau is traversed by a great number of rivers. Damodar, North Koel, Barakar, South Koel, Sankh, and Subarnarekha are the names of the rivers in this group. Within the boundaries of the state of Jharkhand may be found the headwaters of each of these rivers. A significant portion of the state of Jharkhand is still covered in forest. Elephants and tigers can only exist in areas with sufficient forest cover.
Jharkhand has a climate that ranges from humid subtropical in the north to tropical wet and dry in the south-east of the state. The main seasons are summer, autumn, winter, and spring. The rainy season comes in between. The middle of April to the middle of June is considered to be summer. The warmest month is May, with average high temperatures around 37 degrees Celsius (99 degrees Fahrenheit) and average low temperatures around 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit). The southwest monsoon produces virtually all of the state's yearly rainfall, which varies from around 1,000 millimetres (40 inches) in the west-central section of the state to more than 1,500 millimetres (60 inches) in the southwest. It begins in the middle of June and lasts until October. The months of July and August account for close to half of the yearly precipitation. The months of November through February make up the winter season. Temperatures in Ranchi in December often range anywhere from 10 to 24 degrees Celsius (50 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit). The middle of February until the middle of April is when springtime is in full swing.
