Dimna Dam, Jamshedpur


Jamshedpur (Bengali: জামশেদপুর, Hindi: जमशेदपुर) is the biggest city in the state of Jharkhand, India. It covers 149 sq km (58 sq mi) and has a population of 1.34 million people. The city is often called Tatanagar or Tata City, as it was founded by the late Jamshedji Nusserwanji Tata, the industrialist who created the Tata Group. In any case, Jamshedpur also mean Jamsetji's City.

Jamshedpur is the first planned city in India. It developed on the site of the village of Sakchi, and was renamed by British statesman Lord Chelmsford in 1919 after Jamshedji Nausserwanji Tata, in honor of his contribution. From early on in its history, Jamshedpur was geared to be a city of heavy industries. Today it houses various arms of the Tata Group including Tata Steel, Tata Motors, Tate Power, Tata Technologies Limited, and other large companies. Despite its industrial base, it was declared in 2010 as the 7th cleanest city in India. It also ranks as the 7th richest city in the country.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
