  About Giridih
6.jpg

Giridih, is one of the districts of Jharkhand state, India. The literal meaning of Giridih is the land of hills & hillocks - giri, a Hindi word, means hills and dih, another word of the local dialect, indicates upland. The district of Giridih, acquired the status of an independent district on 6th Dec, 1972.
It lies 72 miles (115 km) northeast of Hazaribagh town, on both banks of the Usri River. In 1871 a branch line of the Eastern Railway was built to the town, increasing its importance as a transport centre for coal mined at nearby Kuharbarie, Serampore, and Baniadih. It is the headquarters of the country's major mica-producing firms.

GIRIDIH - COLONIAL TIMES - Excerpt from RUDYARD KIPLING's BOOK
It is a queer life that they lead, these men of the coal-fields, and a ‘big’ life to boot. To describe one half of their labours would need a week at the least, and would be incomplete then. ‘If you want to see anything,’ they say, ‘you should go over to the Baragunda copper-mines; you should look at the Barakar ironworks; you should see our boring operations five miles away; you should see how we sink pits; you should, above all, see Giridih Bazar on a Sunday. Why, you haven’t seen anything. There’s no end of a Sonthal Mission hereabouts. All the little dev—dears have gone on a picnic. Wait till they come back, and see ’em learning to read. ……
Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis
He was the first Indian statistician to receive world recognition.In fact, the history of statistics in India is his personal history.
The founder of ISI, P.C. Mahalanobis, had established a centre here in 1931 because he liked the scenic beauty of Giridih. He used to be a frequent visitor to Giridih. Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore and scientist Sir J.C. Bose had worked on some of their great works from here.
Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose
Indian plant physiologist and physicist whose invention of highly sensitive instruments for the detection of minute responses by living organisms to external stimuli enabled him to anticipate the parallelism between animal and plant tissues noted by later biophysicists Jagdish Chandra Bose also glorified the soil of Giridih. His then residence is known as "Vigyan Kendra". This organisation is run by "Bihar Council of Science and Technology". The personality had performed many researches in the same house.
Rabindra Nath Tagore
The great literary figure Tagore also had been a resident of Giridih. He wrote his Shivaji Utsav in 1904 at Giridih. His then residence "Dwasika Bhawan" is still existing at Giridih.
