Previous emblem used between 2000 and 2020

The first emblem of Jharkhand was adopted on 15 November 2000 when Jharkhand state was formed from the southern part of Bihar. This emblem consisted of an Ashoka Chakra, as depicted on the national Flag of India, surrounded by four letters Js stylised as daggers. The legend underneath, Jharkhand Sarkar, translates as Government of Jharkhand.

[2] He stated that the new emblem should represent the culture, tradition, history ,and future of the state and invited entries for a new design via a public competition.

On 22 July a new emblem was officially approved to be used from 15 August 2020. [6]
