Jharkhand: An Upcoming Manufacturing Hub

Jharkhand, one of India’s newest states, was carved out of the southern portion of Bihar in 2000 with the centrally located city of Ranchi as its capital.

The Government of Jharkhand understands that the Textiles, Apparel and Footwear industries play an important role in the economic growth of the State. These are recognised labour intensive industries and with this vibrant policy, Jharkhand will be able to provide employment to its people, who otherwise tend to migrate to other places in search of jobs.
