The forest was ever around here
In 1941, when coal was found on Korba’s land for the first time, no one had an idea that this coal, which people call ‘black diamond’, would one day become a major basis of India’s energy. The discovery of coal started industrial development here and gradually large plants that have made electricity on this earth were set up. Korba, which was once quiet and full of greenery, has now become a major city to meet the power needs of the country.
This is how Korba name
According to archaeological experts, the name ‘Korba’ has been taken under the name of ‘Korwa’, a protected tribe here. The hill Korwa tribe is considered to be the real soul of Korba. Their life has always been connected to the forests, and even today this deep relationship is seen in the forest areas, where the pace of modern life has not reached.
Mini India is also this center of energy
According to the information, the industrial development of Korba started when the first power plant was set up here. After this, Korba was made a major center of energy with the arrival of big companies like NTPC and Balco. Today, electricity is supplied to the entire country from here. Due to the growth of industries here, when new employment opportunities were created, people from different parts of the country started coming here. Today, people of Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Bengal, Maharashtra and South India live together in Korba. For this reason, Korba is also called ‘Mini India’.
