RANCHI

Ranchi is the capital of the Indian state of Jharkhand.[2] Ranchi was the centre of the Jharkhand

movement,[3] which called for a separate state for the tribal regions of South Bihar,
northern Orissa, western West Bengal and the eastern area of what is present-day Chhattisgarh.
The Jharkhand state was formed on 15 November 2000 by carving out the Bihar divisions
of Chota Nagpur and Santhal Parganas. Ranchi has been selected as one of the hundred Indian
cities to be developed as a smart city under PM Narendra Modi's flagship Smart Cities Mission.

According to one popular tale, Captain choose "Archi" a Oraon tribal village as head quarter.
"Archi" means Bamboo forest in local Nagpuri dialect. The British inadvertently named "Archi"
as "Ranchi".[5][6][7]
According to another local story, the name of Ranchi comes from local bird named "Rici" which
was mostly found in the "pahadi mandir premise". Up to 1927, the place was known as Rachi.

Ranchi city, the Pahari Mandir, is also known as Rici Buru (रिचि बु रु) - the hill of the kites,[9] and
the city originated on the foothills of Rici Buru with the construction of bada talaab by
Commissioner Thomas Wilkinson at the same site.
