Miscellaneous Publication No.-30, Pt. V Bihar & Jharkhand INTRODUCTION: Jharkhand is a fortunate land of immense mineral potential in the country. This natural gift of minerals is an outcome of its diversified geological set up comprising lithological sequence ranging from Achaean to Recent. All these formation contains deposits of energy, ferrous, non-ferrous, fertilizer, industrial, refractory, atomic, strategic, precious and semi-precious groups of minerals. Jharkhand state has great oldest history for industrial growth because first Indian Steel manufacturing industry “Tata Steel” was establish in Jharkhand in the year 1904. In the Jharkhand presently about 160 million tonnes of different minerals are mined out annually which have value of about 16 thousandcrores. Purbi Singhbhum district is situated at the southeast corner of Jharkhand. It has been formed after isolating nine block from old Singhbhum on 16th January 1990.From the industrial growth and mining quarrying point of view this district has leading position in Jharkhand.Before independence the entire area of Purbi Singhbhum district was part of old Manbhum district and old Dhalbhum estate.After independence it has been merged with greater Singhbhum. The total geographical area of district is about 3533 Sq. kms,which is about 2.03% of the whole state. About 53% of the total area of district is covered by residual mountains and hills consisting of granite,gneiss,schist.It is a part of Chhotanagpur plateau.The Dalma range extends from west to east covered by dense forest on the northern side.The Subernarekha river flows from west to south-east direction.The district is rich in minerals and these are found abundantly. From the administrative point of view this district has been divided into two Sub- Division Dhalbhum and Ghatshila.The district consists of eleven blocks namely Golmuri- cum-Jugsalai(Jamshedpur), Potka, Patamda and Boram in Dhalbhum Sub-Division and Ghatshila, Musabani, Dumaria, Baharagora, Dhalbhumgarh, Chakulia and Gurabandha in Ghatshila Sub-Division.There are 231 Panchayat and about 1810 revenue villages out of which 1669 Revenue Villages are inhabited and rest 141 Revenue villages are unhabitated.The Head Quarter of this district is Jamshedpur The Climate of the district is temperate. Annual rainfall is 1200 mm to 1400 mm. This area comes under the path of south-west monsoon so sometimes it receive heavy rain during July to September,During the summer season maximum temperature goes upto 40-45 degree centigrade whereas in winter it has recorded a minimum 8 degree centigrade. The district is rich in minerals and is found abundantly. Iron Ore, Copper, Uranium, Gold Kynite are the main minerals Charakmara Block / Tehsil → Baharagora District → Purbi Singhbhum State → Jharkhand About Charakmara According to Census 2011 information the location code or village code of Charakmara village is 364919.

State Government has been carrying out detailed geological exploration in unexplored area in state. Presently, mining of different minerals in the state accounts about 160 Million tonnes. During XIIth five year plan state wants to increase it up to 200 million tones and for that new mines have to be open up in the state. It is only possible when new mineral bearing areas shall be explored in detail. Therefore, the state is planning to carry out detailed geological exploration for iron ore, limestone, bauxite, coal, Kyanite, Pyroxenite, quartz and soapstone in the different parts of the state. Geological exploration in 2500 sq. km. area is proposed for XIIth Five Year Plan in different part of the state. Re-assessment of bauxite, iron ore and limestone deposits of the state shall also be carried out in almost 500 sq. km. area. The state DGM has continuously carrying out geological exploration in this regard and during XIth five year plan detailed geological exploration for iron ore, limestone, bauxite, coal, Pyroxenite, quartz and soapstone has been carried out in 117.26 sq.km. area. A total of 4,195 samples of various minerals have been collected and analyzed to find out the grade of the ore/mineral. Drilling, core logging and sampling of 4,697 m. was carried out in different areas to assess the depth of the mineralization RESERVE OF OTHER MINERLS OF JHARKHAND: Reserve Sl.No. Minerals District ( In million tones) 1 Apatite 7.27 West Singhbhum 2 Asbestos 0.15 West Singhbhum, Saraikela-Kharsawa 3 Bentonite 0.81 Sahebganj 4 Beryl N.A.

The Dalma and Dhalhun are main hill ranges and covered by dense forest. The relief is high in southern and north western portion of the district. The lower area lies between hill ranges known as Dhalbhum plain mainly created by river Subarnrekha and its tributaries. Geologically the area is comprised with granites, gneiss and schist. Formations of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks of Dharwarian period are found at places. Major rivers in the district are Subarnarekha and Kharkai. 2.3 Climate The district receives an annual rainfall of 1500 mm. and most of it occurs during the rainy season. Mean annual temperature is above 260 C. The temperature ranges from 160 C in winter month to 440 C in summer months. 2.4 Agriculture and Land Use Due to varied landscape the forest cover is found in different proportion in different areas. Plains associated with Subarnarekha basin recorded considerable deforestation but Dalma and Dhanjori highland area are under thick forest cover. 5 The sal trees are dominant in this area. Other treeS are gamhar, mango, jamun, jack fruit, karanj, palas etc. Plains of Dhalbhum is quite productive for agriculture and farmers go for vegetable and seasonal fruit crop apart from paddy due to irrigation facility by Chandil dam, Dih Barrage and Icha dam. Flora and Fauna:- The hillocks on the plateau mostly form part of the dolerite dykes that run criss-cross all over the plateau. They are very low and in chains. Their top boulders are exposed. The thin soil has scrubs and bushes, chiefly some chasmophytes The hills fringing the central plateau are granitic in nature, low and covered with a few small trees or are completely barren. Lantana and other exotic weeds are seen. The wooded hillocks show sal or a mixed forest of deciduous species or bamboo. All such lands as are too far from towns and villages or are protected from grazing and cutting are followed by Anona squamosa, Eugenia species, Palms, Gynnosporia montana and Butea mono sperma, ultimately leading to a pioneer monsoon forest. Cultivated fields surrounding isolated villages, which are located mostly near the roads and railways, occupy the major part of the plateau. The northern and western faces of the hills are covered over with almost pure stands of sal and other species described in the chapter on forest. As the railway lines and roads have been taken to the most distant parts for easy exploitation of mineral resources, numerous railway stations and townships have sprung up, near which there has been much cutting of forest and grazing. In such areas are seen combretum decandrum, Acacia species, bamboo, neem, holarrhena, Flacourtia, woodfordia, Phoenix acaulis and Lygodium species and Lantana camara, croton sparsiflours, cassia species and hyptis suaveolens near the fringes In the Dhalbhum area the forests are mainly on the open ridges and in the undulating valleys and belong mainly to the reserved and protected types.
