Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Etymology. In 1919 Lord Chelmsford renamed the city, which was originally Sakchi, to Jamshedpur in honour of its founder, Jamshedji Nusserwanji Tata. Tata had written to his son Dorabji Tata about his vision of a great city in the area.
Detailed explanation-2: -In memory of Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, the founder of the Tata Group, Chelmsford renamed the town Jamshedpur.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nothing of Jamsetji’s childhood suggested he would create his own destiny. Born on March 3, 1839, in the sleepy town of Navsari in Gujarat, he was the first child and only son of Nusserwanji Tata, the scion of a family of Parsee priests.
