NEW JHARKHAND

*As on 31.03.2021

Indian Railways is the lifeline of the Nation and a catalyst for India’s

progress and economic development. It plays a significant role in the

socio-economic development of every region of the country including

the state of Jharkhand. With a view to improve railway infrastructure

and to extend the railway network in Jharkhand, Ranchi Railway Division

was formed in the year 2003. The Government of Jharkhand always

extends necessary support and cooperation to Indian Railways towards

development of the state and improvement of services for the people. In

a mission mode, railways have achieved many visible milestones in

Jharkhand in the last six years in different fields i.e. construction of new

lines, doubling, development of stations etc. On the freight side, loading

has reached a new milestone where the potentiality of the state enriched

with minerals played the lead role. The changing face of transport sector

in Jharkhand and the expectations of its people are being fulfilled with

topmost priority.

In the wake of COVID-19 pandemic, Indian Railways is playing a

significant role by taking various measures to combat the situation. With

a view to contain the spread of Novel Coronavirus, Indian Railways is

producing PPE Kits, Reusable Face Masks, Hand Sanitizer etc. In addition,

coaches have been converted to COVID Care Centres.

The achievements of railways and ongoing projects in the state of

Jharkhand are being highlighted in this booklet.

It may be noted that the budget allocated to various projects is not

apportioned state wise but ref lects the cost of the project.
