DumkaDumka: Enabling e-Governance in a Big Way

Situated in the pristine beauty nestled in the hill ranges, Dumka - also called the second capital town of the Jharkhand state, is fringed with verdant forest and fast flowing rivers. Dumka means 'skirt of the hills' and was named by the Mughals due to the picturesque hills that surrounds the district. The district is crisscrossed by the rivers Ajoy and Mayurakshi, perfect for water sports, white water rafting and parasailing. The vibrant tribal culture can be seen in the lifestyle of the people - simple, traditional with strong community ties. Masanjore Dam on the river Mayurakshi is a beautiful picnic spot located 31 km from the city.
