Jharkhand: A state in coma!

The Most Revolutionary Concept In Education PLANMAN CHE CENTRE FOR HIGHER EDUCATION, Supported by IIPM India’s Leading B-School

Mindless political opportunism and corruption by all its leaders has taken the state to the brink of disaster, says TSI’s Mahendra Kumar


Coal 62,08,485 tonnes; Iron 3,08,326 tonnes; Copper 1,08,690 tonnes (all proven reserves); Forest cover 23,605 sq km, or one-third of the state. And progress? Nil! When you place these figures together and ask where is this possible, hardly anyone would say anything apart from: “Jharkhand”. That is the sordid tale of the state where law and order is absent, where Maoists maraud with alacrity and where poverty stalks every village. Of the roughly 2.75 crore population, about 52 per cent live below the poverty line, despite the fact that Rs 1,86,000 crore worth of industrial agreements have been signed.

The demand for Jharkhand as a separate state was raised even before independence, because people in the tribal-dominated southern parts of the then Bihar felt strongly that all the cakes were being eaten in northern Bihar. But, those also were the sentiments of the people of what are now Uttarakhand and Chhattisgarh. Remarkably, all three new states were created at the same time, all three are resource-rich, yet, Jharkhand is immersed in poverty and backwardness, but Chhattisgarh and Uttarakhand are merrily marching towards a glorious future.

Jharkhand was formed on November 15, 2000, and Babu Lal Marandi became the first chief minister. But immediately thereafter, political squabbling ripped the nascent state. Corruption and lawlessness became the order of the day. Marandi was followed by Arjun Munda on the CM’s seat. But the 2005 state Assembly polls resulted in a hung house. At this juncture, Shibu Soren of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha managed to clamber on to the CM’s seat but was pulled down just after nine days. Again, there was a political vacuum. To ensure that MLAs of his faction do not desert him, Munda then flew them off first to Delhi and then to a magnificent resort on the outskirts of Jaipur.
