<p>Jharkhand is one of the richest areas in the whole country, rich in minerals deposit and forests. The region has huge reserve of coal, iron ore, mica, bauxite and limestones and considerable reserves of copper, chromite, asbestos, kyanite, china clay, manganese, dolomite, uranium etc.</p>
            <p>&nbsp;</p>
            <p>The value of minerals extracted in Jharkhand in 2004-2005 was Rs 5,760 crore- approximately eight per cent of the total value of mineral production of the country. The state is a larger producer of fuel minerals and accounts for 10 per cent of their total value in the country. Coal contributes the most -92- 93 per cent- to the total revenues from mining received by the Jharkhand government, iron ore accounts for another two to three per cent. Jharkhand receives the maximum mining royalty among the coal-producing states of India.</p>
            <p>&nbsp;</p>
            <p>Since its formation, the Jharkhand government has been laying the red carpet for industrial investment by offering sops.</p>
            <p>The Jharkhand government has granted 524 leases for mining various major minerals-206 of which have been granted for coal alone. In addition, 2,717 leases covering an area of 8,426 ha have been granted for extracting minor minerals in the state.</p>
            <p>&nbsp;</p>
            <p>In the name of national interest,the Jharkhand area is witnessing a gigantic industrialization and development process for the development of industries within the state and its contribution to the country as a whole. The impact on the allied industries to the mining sector have been in accordance with the foundation and strengthening of the state and industry.</p>
