Abstract

The mineral rich state of Jharkhand is a home to country’s major mining, steel and aluminium plants, cement and thermal power conglomerates. Jharkhand has a repository of iron ore, coal (32% of India), copper (25% of India), mica, bauxite, manganese, limestone, china clay, fireclay, graphite, magnetite, dolomite, kainite, chromite, asbestos, thorium, feldspar, quartz, uranium, silver, gold and several other minerals. The crucial reserves of the state play a key role in the Indian economy. The abundant mineral resource of Jharkhand brilliantly contrasts with the dearth poverty of the people inhabiting it. Jharkhand has been for ages the homeland of aboriginal races such as the Mundas, Asurs, Santhals (they form the world’s largest indigenous tribal group numbering about 6 million), Oraons, Ho, Kharias, etc. These tribal groups have been mostly affected by the large scale exploitation of the natural reserves caused by the mining, deforestation, pollution and several industrial activities. The uneven mining has ruined the land, water, air and forests. The pollution caused by the industries has degraded the quality of people living in these areas. The rural voice of Jharkhand amplifies various issues prevailing in the region. The problems like malnutrition, infant mortality rate, health, drinking water, sanitation, unemployment, education and other issues needs to be dealt by the government and corporate house in Jharkhand jointly. The state government has constituted Jharkhand Corporate Social Responsibility (JCSRC) to efficiently address numerous problems of the state.
