Jharkhand
Jharkhand, carved out of Bihar in the year 2000, is highly rich in minerals. It also is a heavily industrialized state.
Yet, for long, the state has been dogged by corruption at all levels of government, semi-government and private sector establishments. TI-India categorises Jharkhand as 'Highly Corrupt.'
Shibu Soren, the new chief minister of the state, is now faced with the gargantuan challenge of checking corruption and helping the state grow faster than ever.
