Jan Chetna Manch, Bokaro operates in the Chas and Chandankiari blocks of Bokaro district, Jharkhand. Despite being surrounded by industrial hubs like the Jharia coalfield, Bokaro Steel Plant, a new private steel plant in Sialjori, and a thermal power plant in Santaldih, the villages we serve remain underdeveloped and impoverished.

Challenges in Our Villages

Challenges in Our Villages
Infrastructure: Most villages have irregular electricity and lack all-weather roads. Access to safe drinking water is a growing problem.
Agriculture: The land, part of the Chota Nagpur Plateau, is more suited to forests than cultivation. It is drought prone and has no irrigation facilities.
Migration: Historically, locals migrated to coal mines for work. After the 1970s, nationalization of coal mines reduced local employment opportunities, leading to migration to cities and states far afield like Delhi, Kerala, Gujarat, and Bangalore.
Socio-Economic Context

Neglected Area: Known as ‘Pandav varjith desh’ (land deserted by the gods), the area has been neglected by the government, missionaries, and NGOs.
Employment: Few employment opportunities exist in local industries, and the skilled jobs often go to outsiders.
Education & Healthcare: Poor quality health and education system indicates the changes needed.
