Etymology

edit

In 1919 Lord Chelmsford renamed the city,[17] which was originally Sakchi, to Jamshedpur in honour of its founder, Jamshedji Nusserwanji Tata. Tata had written to his son Dorabji Tata about his vision of a great city in the area. On Founders Day (3 March), the 225-acre (0.91 km2) Jubilee Park[18] is decorated with brilliant lightwork for about a week.[19]

History

edit

The ancient history of Jamshedpur traces even from the stone age era. At that time a village called Kudrukocha was well known for Sabar people who are still there. Ichagarh another historical town is home to a very old cave might been noticed in the ancient period. There are rocks formed in the region belonging to the Dharwarian period.

In medieval period, the surrounding region was ruled by many powerful kingdoms and dynasties.

The modern period of Singhbhum

The prospectors C. M. Weld, Dorabji Tata and Shapurji Saklatvala took nearly three years in a painstaking search across vast stretches of inhospitable terrain to find a location for a steel plant. One day they came across Sakchi (present-day a business district), on the densely forested stretches of the Chota Nagpur plateau, near the confluence of the Subarnarekha and Kharkai rivers. It seemed to be the ideal choice and the place was selected.[20]

In 1908, the construction of the plant as well as the city officially began.[20] The first steel ingot was rolled on 16 February 1912. It was a momentous day in the history of industrial India.[21]

Jamsetji Tata's plan for the city was clear. He envisioned far more than a mere row of workers' hutments. He insisted upon building all the comforts and conveniences a city could provide. As a result, many areas in the city are well planned and there are public leisure places such as the Jubilee Park. While building the city, Tata had said:

"Be sure to lay wide streets planted with shady trees, every other of a quick-growing variety. Be sure that there is plenty of space for lawns and gardens; reserve large areas for football, hockey and parks; earmark areas for Hindu temples, Muslim mosques and Christian churches."

Messrs Julin Kennedy Sahlin from Pittsburgh prepared the first layout of the town of Jamshedpur.[22] Jamshedpur is a million-plus city with three municipal corporations, Jamshedpur Notified area committee, Jugsalai Municipal corporation and Mango Notified area committee.[23]

In 1945, Tata Motors was setup here. It is now the second largest industry in Jamshedpur. A municipal corporation was proposed in 2005 but after protests from the residents this did not happen.[24][25][26]

After independence, Jamshedpur became part of Bihar. The movement for Jharkhand was started from the mid 1960s. All Jharkhand Students Union was formed in Jamshedpur in 1964. Jharkhand Qaumi Tahreek was founded by the Muslim peoples of Jamshedpur. After these many efforts, finally Jharkhand was established in 2000 and Jamshedpur became a part of it.

Along with the statehood movement, industrial activities and other projects also went in hand. In 1970, the state government allotted more than 1000 acres at Adityapur and notified it as an industrial area. At the time of liberalization where foreign companies came to invest in India. During that time the movement of statehood was gaining momentum. Despite these much resistance some of the foreign companies came Jamshedpur. Thus in 1992, American Timken Company setup its plant in Jamshedpur followed by Lafarge Cement in 1999.

Etymology

edit

In 1919 Lord Chelmsford named the city, which was early a village called Sakchi, to Jamshedpur in honour of its founder, Jamshedji Nausserwanji Tata, whose birthday is celebrated on 3 March as Founder's Day. J. N. Tata had written to his son Dorabji Tata about his vision of a great city in the area. On Founders Day, the 225-acre (0.91 km2) Jubilee Park is decorated with brilliant lightwork for about a week.

The city has several nicknames including "Steel City" (which was referenced during TATA Steel's "Green City—Clean City—Steel City" campaign); "Tatanagar" after the name of its railway station Tatanagar Railway Station or simply "Tata" in deference to the presence of Tata companies. At one time it was also known as "Kalimati" (meaning "Land of Goddess Kali") after the village near the Sakchi area. Sakchi was renamed to Jamshedpur in 1919.[27] The only trace of the name is the main road through Sakchi area of Jamshedpur which is named Kalimati Road.

History

edit

Early and medieval history

edit

Various microliths, Neolithic celts, iron slags, wheel made pottery, and iron objects (including a sickle) have been discovered in Barudih, a village in the Singhbhum district. Kudrukocha, a village near Jamshedpur inhabited by Sabar people since stone age period. The name Singhbhum is popular in historical remarks. World's first beach was formed at Singhbhum Craton. Singhbhum craton of Jharkhand had first come above sea level approximately 3.3 billion to 3.2 billion years ago.

The region around Jamshedpur have been ruled by various kingdoms and dynasties including Nagvanshi, Khayaravala, Ramgarh Raj, Raksel, Chero, Raj Dhanwar and the Kharagdiha Zamindari. Patkum estate came in existence in 12th century, which rules the modern-day Chandil, Kukru, Nimdih, Ichagarh and Kandra and Ichagarh was the capital of the Patkum estate.

The Islamic influence reached in Jharkhand in the 15th century during the period of Mughal emperor Akbar. Muslims started to settled in the villages of Munda and Santali peoples. Raja Man Singh was gifted the present region of Jamshedpur by Akbar for his victory in Bihar and Orissa conquests. That region was comprising today's Jamshedpur along with Dhanbad and Birbhum. After Raja Man Singh, the region was named as Manbhum and later it further divided into — Birbhum and Singhbhum. The Dhatkidih Masjid at Jamshedpur was built around 150 years ago by the local sultanates and the Burmanines Masjid was built later by the Mughals. After the region's access to the control of British Empire, these places were notified as administrative units.

Foundation of the city and later history

Tata Steel plant in the early 20th century

At the end of 19th century Jamshedji Nusserwanji Tata met steel makers in Pittsburgh to get the most advanced technology for his plant. It is said that he got the idea of building a steel plant when he heard Thomas Carlyle declaring that "the nation which gains control of iron soon acquires the control of gold" in a lecture in Manchester.[28] At the turn of the twentieth century, Jamshetji Tata asked geologist Charles Page Perin to help him find the site to build India's first steel plant. The search for a site rich in iron, coal, limestone and water began in April 1904 in today's Madhya Pradesh.

The prospectors C. M. Weld, Dorabji Tata and Shapurji Saklatvala, took nearly three years in a painstaking search across vast stretches of inhospitable terrain to find a location. One day they came across a village called Sakchi, on the densely forested stretches of the Chota Nagpur plateau, near the confluence of the Subarnarekha and Kharkai rivers. It seemed to be the ideal choice and the place was selected.[29] In 1908 the construction of the plant as well as the city officially began.[29] The first steel ingot was rolled on 16 February 1912. It was a momentous day in the history of industrial India.[30]

Jamshedji's plan for the city was clear. He envisioned far more than a mere row of workers hutments. He insisted upon building all the comforts and conveniences a city could provide. As a result, many areas in the city are well planned and there are public leisure places such as the Jubilee Park. While building the city, Jamshedji Tata had said, "Be sure to lay wide streets planted with shady trees, every other of a quick growing variety. Be sure that there is plenty of space for lawns and gardens; reserve large areas for football, hockey and parks; earmark areas for Hindu temples, Mohammedan mosques and Christian churches." Messrs Julin Kennedy Sahlin from Pittsburgh prepared the first layout of the town of Jamshedpur.[31] What the city looks like today is a testament to his visionary plans.[32]

The beginning of first world war demanded huge steels for the production of railway tracks transporting troops and supplies. Around 3,00,000 tons of steel produced in Jamshedpur were used in military campaigns across Mesopotamia, Egypt, Salonica and East Africa. In 1919, on the completion of the city's construction Lord Chelmsford visited the company and praised for its efforts in saving the Mesopotamian campaign. As a tribute, he named the city as Jamshedpur, the railway station as Tatanagar and thus officially the city of Jamshedpur was established.

n second world war, Jamshedpur was targeted by the Japanese troops. The government tried their level best to secure it. For the safety, several weapons and equipment were installed around the city. For further protection, American and British troops were called from Jamshedpur and used to stay at the Boulevard Hotel. Tata Steel started manufacturing India's first and only wheel armored carrier — Tatanagar. Between 1940 and 1944, 4,655 units were built at the Railway workshop in Jamshedpur. In 1945, Tata Engineering & Locomotive Co (now Tata Motors) was started in Jamshedpur.

Mahatma Gandhi visited Jamshedpur for first time in 1925 to resolve labor issues at the TISCO Institute. In 1934, Gandhiji visited Jamshedpur in connection of Harijan Movement. Prof. Abdul Bari was known for serving labor union of Jamshedpur was killed during his participation in the independence movement. Birsanagar have been populated by Jharkhandi Adivasis for a long period of time. Some of the freedom fighters — Birsa Munda, Sidhu and Kanhu Murmu came across the region. Thus, naming it as Birsanagar in the memory of Birsa Munda.

Tata Engineering and Locomotive Company was established to manufacture locomotives. Airfields were built around Dhalbhumgarh, Kalaikunda and Chakulia to handle air traffic during the war.

Contemporary history: (1947 — present) 

edit

After independence, Jamshedpur was in Bihar state. Between the 1960s and 1970s, there were huge communal clashes in Jamshedpur. In 1964, a large communal riot occurred on the streets of Jamshedpur. More than 100 people were killed in the violence. In 1979, another riot occurred in Jamshedpur on the occasion of Rama Navami across the Dimnabasti (populated by the Adivasis) in which 108 peoples killed including both Muslims and Hindus.[39] This riot led the formation of Muslim populated areas — Azadnagar and Sabirnagar. In the year 1973, there was a terrible flood here. Flood waters filled up to eight to ten feet height in areas like Shastrinagar, Ramdasbhatta, Bishnupur, Jugsalai, Mango etc.

The statehood movement spread thoroughly in Jamshedpur. The All Jharkhand Students Union was founded in 1986 by Nirmal Mahto. Followed by the Jharkhand Qaumi Tahreek established by the Muslims communities of the city in 1989. Peoples rose in protest demanding a new. Bharatiya Janata Party led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee proposed a separate state called Vanchal comprising forest region of South Bihar in Jamshedpur. With support of RJP, bill of Bihar Reorganisation Act, 2000 was passed. Vanchal was renamed to Jharkhand. On 15 November 2000, officially the state was established on the birth of anniversary of Birsa Munda and thus Jamshedpur became a part of it.

Legend has it that in the late 1980s when the state government proposed a law to end the Tatas' administration of Jamshedpur and bring the city under a municipality, the local populace rose in protest and defeated the government's proposal. In 2005, a similar proposal was once again put up by lobbying politicians. The target audience was the working class. A large majority sided with the government and set up protest meetings outside the East Singhbhum Deputy Commissioner's office. However, the objective was never achieved, and Jamshedpur remains without a municipality.[40][41][42]

The city experienced a rapid growth right after independence. But the actual modern development of Jamshedpur began in the late 1990s. The period from 1990 to 2004, the city experienced a rapid growth especially in industrial development. Following economic liberalisation in India from the 1990s, every state started exploring business opportunities. Though at time the state's citizens were engaged in statehood movement. But somehow Jamshedpur managed to get in the surveillance of foreign companies. Timken started a plant in the city in 1992. followed by French multinational Lafarge acquiring a cement plant of Jamshedpur in 1999.

Jamshedpur is the only million plus city in India without a municipal corporation. It is now a leading commercial and industrial hub of Eastern India. The city is home to many educational institutions, tourist attractions and heavy industries. Since 2000, the city developed as a commercial and industrial hub.

Dhalbhumgarh Airport is a proposed public airport located at Dhalbhumgarh, in the state of Jharkhand, India as a greenfield airport for Jamshedpur. It will be built on the site of an abandoned World War II airfield situated 60 km (37 mi) from Jamshedpur on NH-33. The old airfield was built around 1942, as an ancillary runway for other airfields in the vicinity that were being built around India's eastern frontier as part of the war effort.

It was one of the airfields used by Allied forces to repel the advancing Japanese troops and to maintain transport links with China. As the Japanese forces came to control shipping in the China Sea, seaborne supply routes to China were cut and the difficult 500 km (310 mi) route over the Himalayas was increasingly used. The airfield was abandoned after the war. The technical team of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) conducted a survey in 2017 and approved the Dhalbhumgarh site for a greenfield airport. The government plans to invest Rs 300 crore through AAI for the new airport which will have a three-kilometre (1.9 mi) runway. In January 2018, Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha announced that the Union Civil Aviation Ministry and the Jharkhand Government would sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the construction of Dhalbhumgarh Airport.

In 2022, it is announced that the Sonari Airport will start commercial public flights for Jamshedpur to Bhubaneswar and Kolkata.[113] After efforts from the Ministry of Civil Aviation, Government of Jharkhand and Tata Steel, the airport has been reopened on 31 January 2023, with flight services provided by the new low-cost regional airline, IndiaOne Air, to Kolkata and Bhubaneswar.[114]

Economy of Palestine

edit
 
Ramallah the de facto capital of Palestine

Palestine's economy is middle income developing. Though being active in the ongoing conflict with Israel, Palestine continues to grow and sustain development. Along with the peace process efforts, their has been a change in the state's economy.

Ramallah is a major commercial and financial center of Palestine home to many of the Palestinian banks and software companies.

The Palestinian industrial sector is categorized by its wide variety of products and interrelated sub sector branches. The sector lacks severely the adequate continuously available raw materials for the sustainability of the sector. But it has a great advantage of the dedicated hard working and resilient business community. The business community, as a driving force for the industry, was able to achieve several successes during difficult uncertain conditions. One of the main features of industry was its connectivity to the Israeli economy. On one side this is a fatal threat to industry because its success is subject to the Israeli priorities, not the Palestinian priorities, and it is a known fact that most of these priorities are not business related and highly politicized. On the other hand, industry has benefited from Israeli business connections elsewhere in the world. The sector is represented by the Palestinian Federation of Industries (PFI). The PFI advocates for better industrial policies and regulations and works on developing and upgrading industrial performance. The federation started its work in 1999 with a representation of six industrial associations. Today, thirteen different industrial associations are members of the federation. Industry is playing an important role in the economic and social well being of the Palestinian society. It employs about 13% of the total workforce and it contributes 16% to the GDP. Exports were (and still are) a good economic ambassador for the entire Palestinian cause. The rapid growth of industry was notable during the nineties, the political uncertainty and turbulences have affected the industrial sector negatively. A slight shift was noticed in the structuring of industry that is related to both political changes and international economic changes and globalization sequences. The leather and shoe making industry and the garment and textile industry are examples of badly affected industries. Contrary to that, Pharmaceutical industries and marble and stone industries were good examples of positive change.

Through donations from Arab Funds, rehabilitation was carried out in the industrial parks of Beit Jala, Salfit, Abu Deis, Albeireh, Nablus and others still on the list. With the assistance of donor community, four industrial zones have been rated as a priority for development. These are:

  •  Jenin industrial park with the help of German government (KFW)
  •  Tarqumia industrial park with the help of Turkish government
  •  Bethlehem industrial park with the help of French government
  •  Jericho agricultural park with the help of Japanese government.


Table 16: main export products #o Products Percentage

  • 1 Marble and stone 30%
  • 2 Food products 16%
  • 3 Metal and plastic products 10%
  • 4 Agricultural products 19%
  • All other sectors 25%

Software

edit

Due to modern development, many IT companies have emerged in Palestine. Most of them focuses on telecommunications and software development segments. Various IT parks have been established in the parts of West Bank territories under the Palestinian authority. The Hebron Innovative Technopark was opened in association with Indian republic to promote IT sector in the state. Rawabi is the first planned city of Palestine being built in association and financial support from Qatar on the outskirts of Ramallah — the state capital. In 2017, a tech hub was opened in Rawabi known as Rawabi Tech Hub to promote IT infrastructure. Apple Inc has planned to invest US$ 1 billion in Rawabi for setting up a R&D center.

Also Google, Udacity and Sparx have expressed their plans for investing in Palestine's IT sector. Eyal Waldman, the founder of Mellanox Technologies planned to setup IT centers and R&D facilities in Palestine's Rawabi, Ramallah and Gaza to promote trade between Israel and Palestine. The company have also employed and worked with Palestinian workforces in the field of programming. Paltel Group, the leading telecommunication company of the state have its headquarters in Ramallah from where it operates two data centers.

Construction and projects

edit

Infrastructure

edit

Unlike West Bank, Gaza Strip lacks necessary infrastructure to accommodate industrial development. Previously there used to some airports for Palestine namely —the Yasser Arafat International Airport in Gaza, Gush Katif Airport in Rafah and Jerusalem International Airport in Jerusalem. However, after 2005 airports ceased operation. The Yasser Arafat International Airport was bombed in Second Intifada in 2001. Prior to bombardment, Gush Katif Airport was used but later closed in 2004.

metal

edit

Metal and engineering industries have a wide variety of products that are strongly related to the anticipated construction process. Any further efforts to boost the construction sector will have its sequential effects on the metal industry. Specifically, the following products are directly related to construction process: abrasives and welding rods, nails, reinforcement steel rods, aluminum profiles for windows, doors, partitions, kitchen and path room facilities, metal decorative and entrance doors, metal furniture and other similar necessities. Moreover, metal industries have a wide variety of products, ranging from construction related industries to production of mechanical and electrical machines. The data of PCBS shows that the sector has the second largest exported products after stone and marble industries. More specifically, it exported about 72 million dollars in the year 2007.

marble

edit

The stone and marble industry is the largest exporting industry in terms of export volume and export markets. A number of firms are ready for export in terms of machinery and raw materials. They lack the expertise of marketing, good manufacturing practices and the organization culture for export as well as the quality culture. Currently the number of direct exporting firms ranges from eight to twelve, whereas the indirect exporters could reach the figure of 40 firms. Qualifying another ten companies in the sector will have its positive impacts on the whole sector. The official export data of 2007 is about 103 million US dollars, whereas the actual figures greatly exceed the official figures. The Palestinian stone and marble products are sold in more than 35 countries, and the production capacity has reached about 40 million square meters per year. Any assistance given to the industry will help resume the production capacity utilization and restore employment trend to its normal figures of 15000 workers. The following effect can be seen in the sector.

food

edit

Moreover, food industry is highly related to other industries. Chemical and plastic industries supply food industries with filling and packaging materials. Paper industries provide food industries with filling containers, labels, brochures, and other printing materials. Metal industries have their involvement in the development of food industries: packaging machinery and stainless steel packing containers.

Industry and manufacturing

Textile

edit

Prior to the second intifada, there were more than 1700 firms operating in this sector in the West Bank alone. The figure now is hard to guess, according to the industry association`s estimates the number of working firms varies between 700 and 1000. Employment has dropped severely from 11000 permanent jobs to almost 5000 unsecured jobs. Women are the major work force in this sector. The sector is spread all over the West Bank and represented by an industrial association. Table 11 :textile and

The sector is composed mainly of textile, garment and clothing production, dying, wool wear, and other accessories. The main feature of this sector is of subcontracting nature. The sector produced a total of 126 million USD in the year 2000, which represented 15% of the gross industrial product. The sector considers the access of new markets as a first priority for financing, next to it is the upgrading and development of machinery. The need for investing in new machinery is not considered a priority for the sector at this stage

chemical

edit

The sector is represented by an industrial association that needs to be strengthened and institutionalized. The estimated number of regulated companies working in the industry is 60, five in producing cosmetics, five in the production of paints and inks and the remaining are working in the detergents production. The actual number of producers (un-regulated) is much more than that. Some factories produce both detergents and cosmetics. The average number of workers is estimated at 15, and the total employment is estimated at 900 workers. The actual number is greater than this because of the non-regulated manufacturers. The industry is spread all over the West Bank.

plastic

edit

This industry is distributed around the various parts of the West Bank with a focus on plastic pipes in Hebron and Ramallah. According to the sectors association records the total number of industrial facilities is 100 firms employing 1000 workers with a total average of 10 workers per firm. The working labor varies from 5 to 20 workers with an exception of 4 factories employing more than 50 workers. The industry is represented by an association that needs to be strengthened. The industry sales are distributed over the West Bank 66%, Gaza Strip 15%, Jerusalem 2% and Israel 10%. It is clear that local market is the core of this industry.

stone

edit

In recent years the industry showed a linear decline in production, sales and returns. The total number of manufacturing firms is around 700 firms, and the total number of workers is estimated at 8000 workers. The industry is spread over the West Bank regions but focused in the regions of Bethlehem and Hebron. Stone and marble industry means the stone manufacturers and the quarries. The stone manufacturers are categorized as small, medium and large scale size producers. Workshops are another category of buying slabs and cutting it into small size pieces.

The main composites of final products are external cladding, internal cladding and tiles, cut to size products, decorative products, special products (flamed, antiqued ...) and tomb products. The initial investments in the sector exceeds the amount of 400 million dollars and are mostly generated by own savings and family resources.

The region around Adityapur has been recorded since stone age. There are many old caves around Ichagarh which is near to Adityapur. It is believed that Lord Rama spent his days during the exile in this Ichagarh area.[1] Chitaran, Adardih, and Chimtiya, on the border of Ichagarh, marks Sita’s footsteps.[2] The Chaturmukhi Shiva Temple has believed to be existed before 12th century. Before the arrival of the royal family of Ichagarh, there was was a Rajbari in Dayapur of Neemdih Block. He used to come here every day to worship Bholenath.

Adityapur is named after Raja Aditya Pratap Singh Deo (1887-1969), the last ruler of Seraikela State.[3] The region around Adityapur is rich in history. Patkum State's capital was at Ichagarh. In Ichagarh there is a cave. There is also a century old temple located there. The Ichagarh Palace was the seat of Patkum State.[citation needed] It was established by the Scion of King Vikramaditya of Ujjain, this place hosts several historical places on the banks of river Karkari and Swarnarekha.[4]

By conquering of Kolhan by British, a new district —Singhbhum district was formed which corresponds to the modern kolhan region.[5] Owing to modern development in the time of British Empire, police stations were opened at Ichagarh, Patamda and Chandil.[6] Previously this place was inhabited mainly by Santhalis, Odias and Bengalis (now Jharkhandis).[7][8] The area came into prominence with the industrial development of Jamshedpur.[9] Thus many peoples form other parts of India came an made the city's multicultural and cosmopolitan culture.[10]

After independence, Adityapur came into existence. In 1972, Bihar government (now Jharkhand Government) notified Adityapur as an industrial area and a municipal corporation.[11][12] Prior to Jharkhand's establishment, the original Jharkhandis were credited for the contribution to the state.[13] Within few times, it developed rapidly as an industrial satellite city for Jamshedpur metropolitan area.[14] Various new projects are coming here now.[15] Now Adityapur is one of the fastest growing satellite cities in India.[16]

Geography

edit

Adityapur is located at 22°47′24″N 86°09′57″E / 22.7901°N 86.1657°E / 22.7901; 86.1657. Kharkai River surrounds Adityapur on three sides (except the west). Adityapur is connected, over the Kharkai River, to the city of Jamshedpur via a toll bridge through Kadma and Kharkai Bridge through Bistupur. Adityapur covered an area of 49 km2 (19 sq mi). It has an annual rainfall of 1,132.9 mm (44.60 in).[17]

With its recognition as an industrial town as early as the 1911 census, Jamshedpur was set on the road of steady population growth, as large number of emigrants flocked in for work opportunities. While in the earlier decades the central nucleus grew, in the later decades towns around Jamshedpur grew rapidly. In 2011, Jamshedpur Urban Agglomeration included 13 urban centres, with a total population of 1.3 million people. However, in more recent years, Jamshedpur metropolitan area has lacked the growth and development observed around other similar industrial cities in western and southern India.[18]
