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