The movement for a separate state of Jharkhand is an odyssey spread over a century which is traced back to the early 1900s, when Jaipal Singh, an Indian Hockey captain and Olympian, suggested the idea of a separate state consisting of the southern districts of Bihar. The idea did not become a reality, however, until August 2, 2000, when the Parliament of India passed the Bihar Reorganization Bill to create the state of Jharkhand, carving 18 districts out of Bihar to form Jharkhand state on 15 November 2000.

What is the gender gap (and why is it getting wider)? The world is being deprived of a huge untapped resource. So says Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, at the launch of its  Global Gender Gap Report 2017 . And despite the slow but steady progress made towards gender equality over the past decade, 2017 was not a success. In fact, the gap between men and women across health, education, politics and economics widened for the first time since records began in 2006. “Overcoming the biases – unseen or otherwise – that are keeping us from closing the gender gap represents an overwhelming economic as well as moral imperative,” Professor Schwab said.
