After the existence of Jharkhand state in 2000, there is no in-depth study for districts rainfall climatology, its variability and the changing pattern of rainfall using a long period of data is available for the state. About 75% of the agricultural production in Jharkhand is non-irrigated, showing the dependence of the state on monsoon rainfall. In the present study, based on monthly rainfall series of all the 24 districts of Jharkhand for the period 1901- 2000 variability of rainfall during monsoon seasons and annual rainfall for Jharkhand state are presented. The study can form very useful information to the agriculture and water sectors of this state.
