Area overview

Bokaro district consists of undulating uplands on the Chota Nagpur Plateau with the Damodar River cutting a valley right across. It has an average elevation of 200 to 540 metres (660 to 1,770 ft) above mean sea level. The highest hill, Lugu Pahar, rises to a height of 1,070 metres (3,510 ft). The East Bokaro Coalfield located in the Bermo-Phusro area and small intrusions of Jharia Coalfield make Bokaro a coal rich district. In 1965, one of the largest steel manufacturing units in the country, Bokaro Steel Plant, operated by Steel Authority of India Limited, was set-up at Bokaro Steel City. The Damodar Valley Corporation established its first thermal power station at Bokaro (Thermal). The 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) long, 55 metres (180 ft) high earthfill dam with composite masonry cum concrete spillway, Tenughat Dam, across the Damodar River, is operated by the Government of Jharkhand. The average annual rainfall is 1,291.2 millimetres (50.83 in). The soil is generally infertile and agriculture is mostly rain-fed. [1] [2]

Petarwar greets you with its lush forests, whether you approach from Bokaro or Ranchi. The dense greenery envelops you from both ends, creating a serene and captivating entrance.

The region is dominated by Shorea robusta (Sal, Sakhua), the state tree of Jharkhand, thriving abundantly in Petarwar Block. The forest department in Petarwar Block is home to a large number of these majestic trees. Additionally, Dr. Vaidh utilizes a variety of medicinal trees found here to treat various diseases.

Petarwar is also renowned for its vibrant weekly markets, held every Saturday and Tuesday. The Saturday market is particularly significant, offering a wide range of goods including vegetables, animals, fish, cows, goats, and other small animals. People from a 15 km radius flock to this bustling market to buy and sell their wares, making it a central hub of activity and commerce.
