History
By the end of 19th centuryJamshedji Nusserwanji Tata met steel makers in Pittsburgh toget the most advanced technology for his plant. It is said that he got the idea of building asteel plant when he heardThomas Carlyledeclaring that "the nation which gains controlof iron soon acquires the control of gold" in a lecture in Manchester. At the turn of thetwentieth century,Jamshetji Tataasked geologist Charles Page Perin to help him find thesite to build India's first steel plant. The search for a site rich in iron, coal, limestone andwater began in April 1904 in today'sMadhya Pradesh.The prospectors C. M. Weld,Dorabji TataandShapurji Saklatvala, took nearly threeyears in a painstaking search across vast stretches of inhospitable terrain to find alocation. One day they came across a village calledSakchi, on the densely forestedstretches of theChota Nagpur plateau, near the confluence of theSubarnarekhaandKharkairivers. It seemed to be the ideal choice and the place was selected.In 1908 the construction of the plant as well as the city officially began. The first steelingot was rolled on 16 February 1912. It was a momentous day in the history of industrialIndiaJamshedji's plan for the city was clear. He envisioned far more than a mere row of workers hutments. He insisted upon building all the comforts and conveniences a citycould provide. As a result, many areas in the city are well planned and there are publicleisure places such as the Jubilee Park. While building the city, Jamshedji Tata had said,"Be sure to lay wide streets planted with shady trees, every other of a quick growingvariety. Be sure that there is plenty of space for lawns and gardens; reserve large areas for football, hockey and parks; earmark areas for Hindu temples, Mohammedan mosques andChristian churches."Messrs Julin Kennedy Sahlin of Pittsburgh, U.S.A, prepared the first layout of the townof Jamshedpur. What the city looks like today is a testament to his visionary plans.Jamshedpur is the only million plus city in India without a municipal corporation
