Explanation

Jamshedpur, originally known as Sakchi, was a small village that transformed into a major industrial city after Jamsetji Tata established the Tata Iron and Steel Company there in 1907. The city was renamed in 1919 to honor Lord Jamsetji Tata. Bhubaneswar, Ranchi, and Rourkela were not formerly known as Sakchi.
