Enumeration of key persons was also done by census officials in Dhanbad District of Jharkhand. Originally the name of Dhanbad was Dhanbaid which seems to have been derived from the word Dhan (paddy) and baid, i.e., the paddy land. The Dhanbad originated from the district of Manbhum occupied by Mundari or Kolarian races in the wilderness of South undivided Bihar. In the seventh century A.D. some information is available from the account of the travels of Hieun Tsang. These accounts narrate existence of a powerful kingdom which comprised the district and adjoining areas, ruled by Sasanka.

Dhanbad is a city in the state of Jharkhand. It is the most populous city in Jharkhand.

Dhanbad is famous for coal mining. Tata Steel, BCCL, ECL and IISCO (Indian Iron And Steel Company) are some of the companies having coal mines in the district. The Indian School of Mines is located in Dhanbad. Among the rail divisions of Indian Railway, Dhanbad Rail Division is the second largest in terms of revenue generation after Mumbai division.

In the Settlement Report for Manbhum (1928) it was stated that no rock inscriptions, copper plates or old coins were discovered and not a single document of copper plate or palm leaf was found, during the Survey and Settlement operations. The oldest authentic documents produced were all on paper and barely even a hundred years old. Dhanbad was in Manbhum district from 1928 up to 1956.

More over the improved governance has led to an economic revival in the state through increased investment in infrastructure, better health care facilities, greater emphasis on education, and a diminution in crime and corruption. Indian and global business and economic leaders feel that Rajasthan State now has good opportunity to sustain its growth and thus they have shown interest in investing in the state.

So as per analysis our motto to improve the ladies education and bring knowledge to save girl child who is the future mother of our generation and in this connection let us know how we will perform PNDT project Act 1994 in the state of Jharkhand at Dhanbad District along with give the reason behind kill girl babies. (Prevention Of Female foeticide under PNDT Act (Pre Conception & Prenatal Diagnostic Technique Act 1994, Ministry Of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. Of India).

Firstly, we the people will agree to the fact that everyone whether he is rich or poor, educated or uneducated, wants to have a son. There is nothing wrong in it. Both daughter and son are needed in a family and only then a family seemed to be complete. Girl and boy can't substitute each other. Both have their own place in the society and even in the family. Now the question arises that if someone has already one or two daughters, is it right for him to get tested the sex of unborn baby? if not, then how many kids one can afford in the modern time. Can we afford three, four or five kids in these days. Definitely not. So what will that person do? No one will have the answer or most of us will say that he should have to leave every thing on the luck or destiny. Can we people do it? it depends on the mentality of a person that what he think about it because different people have different views and arguments for it. But no one can ever say that it is justified to kill a girl in mother's womb is not a crime. Its not crime to wish for having a son but it is crime to 'kill someone for that.

Second reason is that everyone is concerned about the unborn girls who are killed. Laws are made against it. But what about the girls who have to die everyday after the birth. She die when no is ready to marry her if her parents can't afford a luxury car and lot of money for her marriage. Then she has to die when no one care for her self respect or emotions in the in-laws house. She has to die if she give birth to only girl child and not a boy. (Even though we all know that only man have the y chromosomes which are responsible for having a boy).

Third reason is the thinking. Here i am not saying that its illiteracy because female feticide or sex determination is not get done by uneducated people only, it is done in by educated people more. People still think that girl child is a burden or liability for them. Whereas, son is considered to be an asset.

Another reason is the Govt. policies. In India there is no child benefit, no child tax credit. So people who have two or three daughters, is Govt. going to help them financially. So that they may provide good education to their daughters and get them married without any hurdle.(main hurdle is dowry. in these days on the Marriage of one daughter, parents have to spend Rs. 10 to 15 lakhs).

Now question arises that, what should be done? we would say that its not the women who have to come forward against it, men have to come forward against the female feticide. Indian society is a male dominated society. Still all important decisions are taken be men in the family. So they have to take a step to stop taking dowry, give respect to the women in the family as well as in the society and raise a voice against it. On the other hand instead of spending money on discussions, campaign and Advertisement against female feticide, Govt., should provide free schooling to the girls and also help the families who have more than one girl child. Above all we all have to join hands to save our society from this kind of curse and make sure that no one ever say that Indians are so cruel that they kill their own daughters. They should remember India for its culture of treating the girls as 'Kanjak', who is worshipped like a Goddess.
