Jharkhand State GK
Jharkhand, often referred to as the "Forest Land," is an eastern state in India renowned for its rich mineral resources and picturesque landscapes. Situated on the ancient Chota Nagpur plateau, one of the world's oldest land formations, the state shares borders with Bihar to the north, Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh to the west, Odisha to the south, and West Bengal to the east. Ranchi serves as the capital of Jharkhand, and it is widely acclaimed for its mesmerising waterfalls and abundant greenery. Divided into 24 districts, the state plays a vital role in India's economy due to its vast reserves of coal, mica, and iron ore. Jharkhand's distinct tribal culture and historical significance in the freedom struggle make it a crucial topic in GK for government exams.
