It has been only three years since the state of Jharkhand has come into existence; but in these three years, the archaeological department of Jharkhand has launched many exploration campaigns in the districts of Ranchi, Bokaro and Dhanbad, in order to study the socio-cultural pattern of the society of Jharkhand.
In Jharkhand, the license for the archaeological survey lies with the Archaeological Survey of India that conducts excavations, as well as seminars on the historical sites of Jharkhand. In these years of research, the Archaeological Survey of India has unraveled a lot about the history of Jharkhand.
