Question

tell the story behind the start of tata steel and iron company in Jamshedpur by Mr Dorabji Tata

Answer 1

Answer:

The year was 1904. In the hot month of April, Charles Weld,

an American geologist and Dorabji Tata, the eldest son of

Jamsetji Tata, were travelling in Chhattisgarh in search of

iron ore deposits. They had spent many months on a costly

venture looking for sources of good iron ore to set up a

modern iron and steel plant in India. Jamsetji Tata had

decided to spend a large part of his fortune to build a big

iron and steel industry in India. But this could not be done

without identifying the source of fine quality iron ore.

One day, after travelling for many hours in the forests,

Weld and Dorabji came upon a small village and found a

group of men and women carrying basketloads of iron ore.

These people were the Agarias. When asked where they had

found the iron ore, the Agarias pointed to a hill in the

distance. Weld and Dorabji reached the hill after an

exhausting trek through dense forests. On exploring the hill

the geologist declared that they had at last found what they

had been looking for. Rajhara Hills had one of the finest ores

in the world.

But there was a problem. The region was dry and water –

necessary for running the factory – was not to be found

nearby. The Tatas had to continue their search for a more

suitable place to set up their factory. However, the Agarias

helped in the discovery of a source of iron ore that would

later supply the Bhilai Steel Plant.

A few years later a large area of forest was cleared on the

banks of the river Subarnarekha to set up the factory and

an industrial township – Jamshedpur. Here there was water

near iron ore deposits. The Tata Iron and Steel Company

(TISCO) that came up began producing steel in 1912.
