Jharkhand- Bihar

Jharkhand is situated in the eastern part of India. Jharkhand means “The land of Forest” as 29% of the state is covered by “jhars’ (Forest), Jharkhand was formed as a separate state on 15 November 2000. 15 November is also the Birth anniversary of Birsa Munda the Tribal legend of Jharkhand. Around 32 tribal communities are there in Jharkhand which include Mundas, Santhals, Oraons, Hos, Asur, Bathudi, Bedia, Banjara and baiga among others. Language spoken are Hindi, Sadri, Mundari, Santhali, Kurukh etc.
SCM Jharkhand is one of the active regions which have been active from more than 50 years of its glorious time in the region. The most of senior church leaders of 1980s who have been the vibrant part of this movement, solemnly acknowledge their formation and guiding principles to be a change maker through SCM activities. At this present era the movement of SCM in Jharkhand has based in the networking with other likeminded youth groups to carry its mission and vision with the active participation of students and sr. Friends.
SCM Jharkhand focuses more on Adivasi students and their issues. In the present context, these two communities seem to be lagging behind due to lack of awareness and leadership skills. Though, there are lots of schemes for heir welfare but the benefits are not actualised. To this end, SCM is representing the students and mobilizing them through seminars and workshops. The main objectives to organise such campaigns, seminars and workshops for students through various activities are to connect our youths with the larger groups on common issues, with our past traditions and heritage which strengthen or present without any barriers of ethnicity, caste, class, and gender.
