3. Q1. It is said that X got the idea of building this plant when he heard Thomas
Carlyn describing that 'the nation which gains control of iron soon gains the
control of gold' in a lecture in Manchester. At the turn of the 20th century 'X‘
asked geologist Charles Page to help him find the site to build India's
first steel plant. The search for a site rich in iron, limestone, coal and water
began in April 1904 in today's Madhya Pradesh. The prospectors took 3 years
in a nearly painstaking search across vast stretches of inhospitable terrain to

Sabarnarekha and Kharkai rivers. It seemed to be the ideal choice.
