==Overview==
Hazaribagh district is spread over a part of the [[Chota Nagpur Plateau]]. The central plateau, averaging a height of {{convert|2000|ft|m|0|abbr=on}}, occupies the central part of the district. On all sides, except on the western side, it is surrounded by the lower plateau, averaging a height of {{convert|1300|ft|m|0|abbr=on}}, the surface being undulating. In the north and the north-west the lower plateau forms a fairly level tableland till the [[ghat]]s, when the height drops to about {{convert|700|ft|m|0|abbr=on}} and slopes down gradually. The [[Damodar River|Damodar]] and the [[Barakar River|Barakar]] form the two main [[Drainage divide|watersheds]] in the district. [[Damodar Valley Corporation|DVC]] has constructed the [[Konar Dam]] across the [[Konar River]]. It is a forested district with cultivation as the main occupation of the people. Coal is the main mineral found in this district. China clay is also found in this district.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/DCHB_A/20/2015_PART_A_DCHB_HAZARIBAGH.pdf | title= District Census Handbook Hazaribag, 2011, Series 21, Part XII A | work= Pages 9 - 12 |publisher= Directorate of Census Operations, Jharkhand| access-date = 1 November 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://hazaribag.nic.in/index.htm | title = Hazaribag District | work = Hazaribag At A Glance | publisher = Hazaribag district authorities | access-date = 1 November 2017 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120205005632/http://www.hazaribag.nic.in/index.htm# | archive-date = 2012-02-05 | url-status = dead }}</ref><ref name=india9>{{cite web|url = http://www.india9.com/i9show/Konar-Dam-56477.htm | title = Konar Dam |publisher =india9.com |access-date = 2010-04-17 }}</ref> Inaugurating the [[Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana]] in 2016, [[Raghubar Das]], Chief Minister of Jharkhand, had indicated that there were 23 [[lakh]] [[Below Poverty Line (India)|BPL]] families in Jharkhand.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ranchi/Chief-minister-launches-Ujjwal-scheme-in-Hazaribag/articleshow/55198362.cms | title= Chief Minister launches Ujjwal scheme in Hazaribag|publisher= The Times of India, 2 November 2016| access-date = 1 November 2017}}</ref> There was a plan to bring the BPL proportion in the total population down to 35%.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://planningcommission.nic.in/plans/stateplan/Presentations12_13/jharkhand12_13.pdf | title = State 12th Five Year Plan: State Annual Plan 2012-13 | work = State of Jharkhand | publisher = Jharkhand Planning Commission | access-date = 1 November 2017 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160221235527/http://planningcommission.nic.in/plans/stateplan/Presentations12_13/jharkhand12_13.pdf | archive-date = 21 February 2016 | url-status = dead }}</ref>

==Maoist activities==
Right from its inception in 2000. Jharkhand was a “laboratory” for [[Naxalite-Maoist insurgency|Naxalites]] to experiment with their ideas of establishing a parallel government. As of 2005, 16 of the 22 districts in the state, including Hazaribagh district, was transformed into a “guerrilla zone”. The movement was not restricted to armed operations but included [[kangaroo court]]s called Jan adalats, elected village bodies and people's police.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.ipcs.org/article/india/red-terror-over-jharkhand-1881.html | title= Red Terror over Jharkhand | work= Rajat Kumar Kujur|publisher= Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies| access-date = 1 November 2017}}</ref> Jharkhand, with a dense forest cover over a large part of the state, offers a favourable terrain for the Naxalites to build their bases and operate.
