'''Michael "Mickey" Gannon''' is a fictional character in the Australian soap opera [[Neighbours]], played by [[child actor]] Fletcher O'Leary. He first appeared in [[June 2007]].

'''Jharkhand''' {{audio|Jharkhand.ogg|pronunciation}} ([[Hindi]]: झारखंड, [[Bengali language|Bengali]]: ঝাড়খণ্ড,{{IPA2|dʒʰaːrkʰəɳɖ}}) is a [[States and territories of India|state]] in eastern [[India]]. It was carved out of the southern part of [[Bihar]] state on [[15 November]] [[2000]]. Jharkhand shares its border with the states of [[Bihar]] to the north, [[Uttar Pradesh]] and [[Chhattisgarh]] to the west, [[Orissa]] to the south, and [[West Bengal]] to the east.

The industrial city of [[Ranchi]] is its [[capital]]. Some of the other major cities and industrial centres are [[Jamshedpur]], [[Bokaro Steel City|Bokaro]], [[Sindri, Jharkhand|Sindri]], [[Giridih]], [[Gumla]], [[Deoghar]], [[Hazaribagh]] and [[Dhanbad]] once a part of [[West Bengal]].

Jharkhand is also popularly known as ''Vananchal'' (''vana'' plus ''anchal'', meaning ''land of woods''). Jharkhand is famed for its mineral wealth and forestry products.

==History==

The demand for a separate Jharkhand state can be traced back to the early [[1900]]s, when [[Jaipal Singh]], an Indian [[Hockey]] captain and [[Olympic Games|Olympian]], suggested the idea of a separate state consisting of the southern districts of Bihar. The idea did not become a reality, however, until [[August 2]], [[2000]], when the [[Parliament]] of India passed the Bihar Reorganisation Bill to create the state of Jharkhand, carving 18 districts out of Bihar to form Jharkhand state on [[15 November]], [[2000]]. It became the 28th state of India.

However, according to some historians there was already a distinct geo-political, cultural entity called Jharkhand even before the period of [[Magadha]] Empire. According to a legend, Raja Jai Singh Deo of Orissa was accepted as the ruler of Jharkhand by its people in the [[13th century]]. The Singh Deo's of Orissa have been very instrumental in the early history of Jharkhand. The local tribal heads had developed into barbaric dictators who could govern the province neither fairly nor justly. Consequently, the people of this state approached the more powerful rulers of Jharkhand's neighbouring states who were perceived to have a more fair and just governance. This became the turning point in the history of the region wherein rulers from Orissa moved in with their armies and created states that were governed for the benefit of the people and involved their participation, thus ending the barbarism that had marked the region for centuries. The good tribal rulers continued to thrive and were known as the Munda Rajas, and exist to this day. (These are regions which are still semi- autonomous, the degree of autonomy depending on the size of each specific Munda Raja's ___domain.) Later, during the [[Mughal]] period, the Jharkhand area was known as Kukara. After the year [[1765]], it came under the control of the [[British Empire]] and became formally known under its present title, "Jharkhand" - the Land of "Jungles" (forests) and "Jharis" (bushes). Located on [[Chhota Nagpur Plateau]] and [[Santhal Parganas]], has evergreen forests, rolling hills and rocky plateaus with many places of keen beauty like [[Lodh Falls]].

The subjugation and colonization of Jharkhand region by the [[British East India Company]] resulted in spontaneous resistance from the local people. Almost one hundred years before [[Indian rebellion of 1857|India’s First War of Independence]] ([[1857]]), [[adivasis]] of Jharkhand were already beginning what would become a series of repeated revolts against the [[British India|British colonial rule]]:

*[[1772]]-[[1780]] Paharia revolt

*[[1780]]-[[1785]] Tilka Manjhi led the tribal revolt and managed to injure the British army Chief. In 1785, Tilka Manjhi was hanged to death in [[Bhagalpur]]

*[[1795]]-[[1800]] [[Tamar]] revolt

*[[1795]]-[[1800]] [[Munda people|Munda]] revolt under the leadership of Vishnu Manaki

*[[1800]]-[[1802]] Munda revolt under the stewardship of Dukhan Manaki of Tamar

*[[1819]]-[[1820]] Munda revolt in [[Palamu]] under the leadership of Bhukan Singh

*[[1832]]-[[1833]] Khewar revolt under the leadership of Bhagirath, Dubai Gosai and Patel Singh

*[[1833]]-[[1834]] Bhumji revolt under the leadership of Ganga Narain of Birbhum

*[[1855]] Santhals waged war against the permanent settlement of [[Lord Cornwallis]]

*[[1855]]-[[1860]] During late [[1850s]] Sidhu had accumulated about ten thousands Santhal to run parallel government against British rule. The basic purpose was to collect taxes by making his own laws. British Government had announced an award of Rs. 10,000 to arrest Sidhu and his brother Kanhu

*[[1856]]-[[1857]] Martyr Sahid Lal, Vishwanath Shahdeo, Sheikh Bhikhari, Ganpatrai and Budhu Veer led a movement against the British Government during [[Indian rebellion of 1857|India’s First War of Independence]], [[1857]], also called [[Sepoy Mutiny]]

*[[1874]] Kherwar Movement shot into fame under the leadership of Bhagirathi Manjhi

*[[1895]]-[[1900]] Movement against the [[British raj]] led by [[Birsa Munda]] (born [[15 November]], [[1875]]). Birsa Munda was captured by British forces and declared dead on [[9 June]], [[1900]] in Ranchi Jail, due to [[Cholera]], according to records of the British colonial government.

All of these uprisings were quelled by the British through massive deployment of troops across the region.

In [[1914]] the Tana Bhagat resistance movement started, which gained the participation of more than 26,000 [[adivasis]], and eventually merged with [[Mahatma Gandhi]]'s [[Satyagraha]] and [[Civil Disobedience]] movement.

==Geography and climate==

Most of the state lies on the [[Chota Nagpur Plateau]], which is the source of the

[[Koel River|Koel]], [[Damodar River|Damodar]], [[Brahmani River|Brahmani]], [[Kharkai River|Kharkai]], and [[Subarnarekha River|Subarnarekha]] rivers, whose upper watersheds lie within Jharkhand. Much of the state is still covered by forest. Forest preserves support populations of [[tiger]]s and [[Asian Elephant]]s.

[[Soil classification|Soil]] content of Jharkhand state mainly consist of soil formed from disintegration of rocks and stones, and soil composition is further divided into:

#[[Red soil]], found mostly in the [[Damodar River#Damodar Valley|Damodar valley]], and [[Rajmahal]] area

#[[Micacious soil]] (containing particles of mica), found in Koderma, [[Jhumeritilaiya]], [[Barkagaon]], and areas around the [[Mandar hill]]

#[[Sandy soil]], generally found in Hazaribagh and Dhanbad

#[[Black soil]], found in Rajmahal area

#[[Laterite soil]], found in western part of Ranchi, Palamu, and parts of [[Santhal Parganas]] and [[Singhbhum]]

== Flora and fauna ==

Weather remains cool in most areas of Jharkhand, especially Ranchi, Gumla, Netarhat, Dhanbad etc.

Jharkhand has a rich variety of [[flora (plants)|flora]] and [[fauna (animals)|fauna]]. The National Parks and the Zoological Gardens located in the state of Jharkhand present a panorama of this variety.

Betla National Park (Palamu), 25 km from [[Daltonganj]] covers an area of about 250 square kilometres. The national park has a large variety of wild life like [[tigers]], [[elephants]], [[bison]]s locally called gaurs, [[sambhar]]s, hundreds of [[wild boar]] and 15 to 20 feet long [[python]], herds of spotted [[deer]] ([[cheetals]]), [[rabbit]]s and [[fox]]es. The mammalian fauna to be seen at Betla National Park also include [[langur]]s, [[rhesus]], [[blue bull]] and [[wild boar]]s. The lesser mammals are the [[porcupine]], [[hare]], [[wild cat]]s, [[honey badger]]s, [[jackal]]s, [[Malabar]] giant [[squirrel]], [[mongoose]], [[wolf]], [[antelope]], etc. In [[1974]], the park was declared [[Project Tiger]] Reserve.

Part of the reason for the variety and diversity of flora and fauna found in Jharkhand state may be accredited to the [[Project Tiger]] Reserve of [[Palamu]], which is abode to hundreds of species of flora and fauna [http://palamu.nic.in/forestchap4.htm#seeds], as indicated within brackets: mammal (39), Snakes (8), Lizards (4), Fish (6), Insects (21), Birds (170), seed bearing Plants and Tress (97) , Shrubs and Herbs (46), Climbers, Parasites and semi-Parasites (25), and Grasses and Bamboo (17).

The Hazaribagh Wildlife Sanctuary, with scenic beauties, 135 km from Ranchi, is set in an ecosystem very similar to Betla National Park of Palamu.

One [[Zoological Garden]] is also located about 16 km from Ranchi, and a number of mammalian fauna have been collected there for visitors.

== Demographics ==

Jharkhand has a population of 26.90 million, consisting of 13.86 million males and 13.04 million females. The [[sex ratio]] is 941 females to 1000 males. The population consists of 28% tribals, 12% [[Scheduled Castes and Tribes|Scheduled Caste]]s and 60% others. There are 274 persons for each square kilometer of land. However, the [[population density]] varies considerably from as low as 148 per square kilometer in Gumla district to as high as 1167 per square kilometer in Dhanbad district.

Jharkhand has remained a home to a number of tribal communities since time immemorial. In fact, in some of the districts of Jharkhand, the tribal population predominates, the non tribal one. Jharkhand has 32 primitive tribal groups. These are the [[Asur]], [[Baiga]], [[Banjara]], [[Bathudi]], [[Bedia]], [[Binjhia]], [[Birhor]], [[Birjia]], [[Chero]], [[Chick-Baraik]], [[Gond]], [[Gorait]], [[Ho]], [[Karmali]], [[Kharwar]], [[Khond]], [[Kisan]], [[Kora (tribe)|Kora]], [[Korwa]], [[Lohra]], [[Mahli]], [[Mal-Paharia]], [[Munda people|Munda]], [[Oraon]], [[Parhaiya]], [[Santal]], [[Sauria-Paharia]], [[Savar (tribe)|Savar]], [[Bhumij]], [[Kol (people)|Kol]] and [[Kanwar]].

The geographical area now comprising Jharkhand was previously part of Bihar. The area has witnessed migration of people from the adjoining areas of Bihar and West Bengal for last several decades. Industrial and mining centres like Jamshedpur, Dhanbad and Ranchi have attracted people from all parts of India.

[[Hinduism]], [[Jainism]], [[Buddhism]], [[Islam]] and [[Christianity]] are the main religions present in the state. The tribal communities of Jharkhand have their own spiritual beliefs, commonly called ''Sarna''. During the colonization process the tribal religious beliefs were looked down upon as pagan and inferior. Through overt and covert conversions and other influences at assimilation, the Christian missionaries have contributed much for the demolition of many of the tribal ''Sarna'' beliefs{{Fact|date=March 2007}}.

=== Health ===

On account of salubrious climate, Jharkhand, particularly its capital Ranchi, has been like a health resort. As far back as [[1918]], facilities were set up for treatment of [[mentally challenged]] – Central Institute of Psychiatry[http://www.cipranchi.nic.in/intro.htm], Ranchi.

In certain areas of Jharkhand, poverty and consequent malnutrition have given rise to diseases like [[tuberculosis]] (TB). In fact, TB has assumed [[epidemic]] proportions in certain areas of the state. For management and treatment of such diseases, organizations like [[Ramakrishna Mission]] through Ramakrishna Mission Tuberculosis Sanatorium[http://www.rkmtbs.org/main.htm] (set up in [[1948]]), Ranchi, has been doing exemplary work, and supplementing the efforts of the Government and other agencies. Likewise, in the field of treatment of cancer, Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur,[http://www.tatamemorialcentre.com/index.htm] is rendering pioneering work.

Although several public and private health facilities are available in the state, overall infrastructure for dispensing health related services require improvements. An exception is the famous Tata Motors Hospital which is an example of a ISO 14001 and 18001 certified hospital with DNB teaching facilities.

==Character Biography==

Jharkhand has a network of government and privately run schools, although standards of teaching vary considerably from place to place, as also from school to school.

Mickey first appeared when his mother, Kirsten ([[Nikola Dubois]]), came to Erinsborough to find Mickey's father, Kirsten's ex-boyfriend [[Ned Parker]] ([[Daniel O'Connor]]). Kirsten claimed she needed time alone to grieve for her grandparents, and needed Ned to looked after Mickey. Ned, not even aware he was a father, agreed, but it became obvious that he didn't know the first thing about looking after Mickey, and his dog Jake.

After an incident in which Mickey lost his dog, Ned and his son bonded. However, not long after, Kirsten called, explaining she needed more time alone, possibly leaving Ned with the child indefinitely. In a later episode Kirsten re-appeared and told Ned it was time for her to live her life, seemingly leaving Mickey with Ned permanently.

====Schools====

The medium of instruction in schools is English with Hindi/Sanskrit as second language. After 10 years of schooling, students can join 2 years of Intermediate course (or +2 courses) in Arts, Science and Commerce. This is followed by 3 years of degree courses (graduation)or 4 years of Engineering degree.

[http://www.neighbours.com/Episodes/5247/ Nobody's Pool episode 5247]

===Universities===

Ned decides to tell Micky he is his father over a special dinner, however Mickey falls into the number 30 pool trying to rescue a dead bird (that has died due to faulty wiring on the pool's light) - Mickey's life hung in the balance and sent Ned distraught.

A number of non-technical colleges are located in bigger cities as well as in small towns. The Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) in particular, offer popular 3 year diploma courses.

Mickey makes a recovery and doctors give him the all-clear. Ned comes clean that he is Mickey's father. Mickey is overwhelmed, but Janae shys aways behind the door feeling pleased for both of them.

Jharkhand has 7 Universities: [[Ranchi University]], Ranchi; [[Sidhhu Kanhu University]], Dumka; [[Vinoba Bhave University]], Hazaribagh; [[Birsa Agricultural University]], Kanke, Ranchi; [[Birla Institute of Technology]], Ranchi, [[National Institute of Technology, Jamshedpur]] and the Indian School Of Mines ([[ISM Dhanbad]]- Deemed University). There are three medical colleges in Jharkhand namely [[Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences]] (RIMS) at Ranchi, [[M.G.M. Medical College Jamshedpur]] and [[Patliputra Medical College And Hospital]] (PMCH) at Dhanbad.

The famous B-school [[Xavier Labour Relations Institute]] (XLRI) is at Jamshedpur. It's PMIR programme is regarded best in the entire Asia-Pacific region{{Fact|date=February 2007}}.

When Janae breaks the word that she may be leaving Erinsborough, Mickey is in tears and wets the bed. He finds himself in more sticky situations when a young bully (Max) vandalises his picture at Vacation Care. Following this incident Mickey accidentally wets himself and has the bully heckling him. When Ned and Janae arrive Ned faces off with Max's father but Janae prevents a punch-up.

===Sports===

Jharkhand has earned itself an important place in the sports arena - thanks to the dashing wicketkeeper batsman - [[Mahendra Singh Dhoni]].

Jharkhand is the host for upcoming [[National Games]].

After Janae's boxing match, a change of heart takes effect and Janae decides to stay, she couldn't make up her mind completely until Janelle forces her to see if Ned's feelings are the real thing.

== Media ==

Hindi newspapers like the Ranchi Express[http://www.ranchiexpress.com/] and the Prabhat Khabar[http://www.prabhatkhabar.com/] are the main newspapers, published from the state capital, Ranchi and are available in almost all parts of the state. All important Indian newspapers, in Hindi, English and Bengali are also available in bigger cities by the afternoon and after a day’s delay in smaller towns. Most of the national magazines in Hindi, English and Bengali are regularly available in bigger cities and at other places supply may be arranged through newspaper vendors.

Mickey's first day of school leads to devastating effects when Janae gives misconstrued advice about how to handle difficult people. Mickey comes under threat of expulsion if further trangressions continue. Unfortunately Mickey seems to see that the bullying showed people he wasn't intimidated and Ned feeling as he failed as a father. He makes it clear that he and he only will be the sole authority from now on.

[[All India Radio]] is the only [[radio station]] in Jharkhand and covers the entire state. [[Doordarshan]], the national television broadcaster, is also available in almost all parts of the state. Bigger cities of Jaharkhand is served by all television channels available in India and channels are received through cable. In some interior regions, channels are received via satellite dishes.

More recently, Mickey accidently reversed a truck into a mini-bus full of several characters on their way home from the Yeats wedding. Could this be storyline be like that of the [[Neighbours Plane Crash]]?

Cellular service, covering all major centres of the state, is provided by BSNL, Reliance Telekom and Airtel (GSM Service) and also by Tata Indicom and Reliance Infocomm (CDMA Service).
