In which combination of sports has Jharkhand gained national and international recognition?

After being constituted into a separate State, Jharkhand has been consistently making progress in all fields including culture. Its efforts to create awareness among the people about the State's built heritage by organising archaeological workshops have been particularly helpful. There are also initiatives taken to organise State-level festivals to promote the arts and crafts of the local people. With its natural endowments also, the State has become a favourite destination for visitors from all over the country and abroad. Places like Baba Baidyanath Temple, Suraj Kund, Maithon Dam and Noor Masjid are some such places which witness a large number of visitors. The State Government is particularly committed to enrich the bamboo and wood crafts of the State along with tribal paintings and the stone carving activities. In the field of education, Ranchi, once considered to be a hub of quality education, is regaining its reputation. In the field of sports too the State has earned national recognition, especially in games like hockey, archery and cricket at both the national and the international levels.
