With a view to improve railway infrastructure and extend the railway network in Jharkhand, the Railway Division was formed in the year 2003. The Government of Jharkhand always extends necessary support and co-operation to this railway towards development of Jharkhand and improvement of train services.

Railways have achieved many visible milestones in Jharkhand in the last 5 years in different fields viz. construction of new lines, doubling, introduction of new trains, extension of service, increase in frequency of trains etc. On the freight side, loading of South Eastern Railway has reached the mile stone of 154.87 Million Tonnes, where the lead role has been taken by the state.
