Abstract:<\/strong> Jharkhand, established as a separate state in 2000, possesses substantial natural resources, a rich tribal heritage and considerable potential for economic development. Despite its mineral wealth and industrial base, the state continues to face significant challenges in achieving inclusive and sustainable socio-economic development. The present study examines the progress, problems and prospects of socioeconomic development in Jharkhand with particular emphasis on education, health, employment, poverty, infrastructure, industrialisation, agriculture and tribal development. The study is based primarily on secondary data collected from government reports, census publications, economic surveys and other relevant sources. The analysis indicates that Jharkhand has made progress in literacy, infrastructure, industrial activity, financial inclusion and social-sector interventions. However, regional disparities, rural poverty, unemployment and underemployment, inadequate health and educational facilities, dependence on natural resources, displacement, environmental degradation and persistent socio-economic disadvantages among tribal and rural communities remain important concerns. The study argues that the future development strategy of Jharkhand should combine economic diversification with human-capital development, sustainable resource management, agricultural transformation and stronger social protection. Greater participation of local communities, particularly tribal populations, in development planning is essential for achieving equitable and sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
