Jamshedpur (Tatanagar) - जमशेदपुर

The growth of Jamshedpur town to its present strature is solely connected with the growth of TISCO. The TATA's had originally decided in 1904 to utilise the Iron Ores from the Dhalli Rajhara range in the Drug district and set up the works at a place called Padampur on the banks of the Mahanadi. When, however, Late Mr. P. N. Bose, who was then the geologist of Mayurbhanj state, drew the attention of TATA's to the rich ore deposits of Gorumahissani Hills in Mayurbhaj (Orissa), it was decide to shift the venue of the Steel Works from Padampur to Sinni. Howver, owning to the lake of a large soiurce of water supply at Sinni, the site was abondoned in 1907 in favour Sakchi, which was about 20 miles away. Sakchi situarted at the confluence of two rivers Subarnarekha and Kharkai ensuring a pereniel source of water Supply. It was also adjacent to the Kalimati Railway Station (now Tatanagar) which lay on the main Railway line.
