Tribute to Jamshedpur

When the first steel plant opened, men came to learn and to work from North and South Bihar, from far away Punjab and Madras... In Jamshedpur, they were welded into a nation... Some worked for two generations, some for three and some for even four. Father handed over to the son, the son to the grandson and the grandson to his children in turn. They have all contributed to the Jamshedpur of today."

-The Creation of Wealth

Life in the city is comfortable, with all areas having 24 hours running water and electricity (something uncommon in most of urban India, including Ranchi). Facilities are maintained by Jamshedpur Utilities and Services Company Limited (JUSCO), a 100% owned subsidiary of Tata Steel.

Jamshedpur is one of the greenest cities of India. Active promotion of reforestation & tree planting activities helps in maintaining air quality, which would otherwise have been rather polluted on account of the presence of a large number of industries.

The city won international acclaim when it was selected for the 2004 Global Compact City award from the UN in India, beating other contenders such as Bangalore, Pune and Chandigarh, amongst others. A true testimony indeed to its robust infrastructure, cosmopolitan outlook and strong industry.

Try and beat this you Ranch fans!!!
