Detailed Solution

Iron ore was found in the Rajhara hills. It is a town located in Palamu district in Jharkhand. Initially, it was spotted by Jamsetji Tata Dorabji. They noticed groups of Agaria tribesmen and women transporting iron ore crates. They got it from Rajhara Hills, which has some of the best ores on the planet. However, because the location was dry and water scarce, the search for a factory site had to continue. The Agarias, on the other hand, helped identify an iron ore deposit that would later supply the Bhilai Steel Plant. To make room for the factory, an industrial village called Jamshedpur was developed near iron ore reserves by clearing trees along the banks of the river Subarnarekha. The newly created Tata Iron and Steel Company (TISCO) began manufacturing steel in 1912. For the past 50 years, the mines of Dalli Rajhara have provided iron ore to India's largest integrated steel plant, Bhilai Steel Plant.
