West Bengal is a state in eastern India, known for its rich culture, history and industries. It has the Himalayas in the north, the Bay of Bengal in the south and the Ganges River flowing through it. Kolkata, the capital is, famous for literature, art and trade. The state also has many farms, factories and coal mines. In this article, we will know about the district of West Bengal which is known as “Ruhr of India.”
Durgapur, located in the Paschim Bardhaman district of West Bengal, is known as the “Ruhr of India.” It got this name because it has many iron, steel, and coal industries, just like Germany’s Ruhr region. The Damodar Valley supplies rich coal reserves that power factories, steel plants, and power stations in the area.
The name comes from Ruhr, a region in Germany that is famous for its coal and steel industries. Durgapur has a similar industrial landscape because of its coal reserves, steel plants and heavy industries. This makes it one of the most important industrial hubs in India.
The title “Ruhr of India” is linked to the Chota Nagpur Plateau, which stretches into parts of West Bengal, Jharkhand, Odisha and Chhattisgarh. Durgapur, a major industrial city in Paschim Bardhaman, is located in this region and has many steel and coal-based industries.
The industries in Durgapur and the surrounding areas provide jobs to thousands of people. The steel and coal from here are used in construction, railway, power generation and manufacturing. This region plays a big role in India’s industrial growth.
