Ranchi, Patna, and Jamshedpur, all three citieshave their unique attractions and ways of living life. Each of them has its ownarchitecture, their own culture, and tradition, and are in no way inferior toanother. However, from an ideal perspective, a quantitative analysis of being a‘more developed city’ can be done.
Patna – the capital cityof Bihar
Patna, the capital of Bihar, is the 19th largesturban city in India. It has a population of about 2.39 million people, with aliteracy rate of 83,37%. Patna is well connected with Air, Rail, and Roadroutes with the rest of Bihar and the majority of Eastern India.
The foundation of the city can be dated as backas 490 BCE. Its name has changed several times over all these years, currentlybeing Patna. The majority of Patna’s economy primarily depended on agricultureand the export of agricultural produce. However, around 2005, Patna has seenrapid growth in the Fast-Moving consumer goods industry.

Patna, beingan old historical city, is studded with monuments and places of historicalimportance. Apart from that it also has a lot of modern-day built parks andrecreational centers. Tourists visiting Patna account for about 40% of thetotal tourism of Bihar.
Patna has always been an important city, and asa result, continues to see immigration of people till date. However, the livingconditions here are a bit congested and crowded. People who are fond of calmsurroundings and empty roads won’t adore living in Patna very much.

The city has a number of public and privateschools and colleges that provide primary as well as higher education tostudents of Ranchi. However, one may have to move out for better Engineering/Medicalcolleges (like in any other city). Ranchi is lined up with places to visit, themost popular ones being Nucleus Shopping Mall, Dassam Falls, Getalsud Dam,Hundru Falls, Jagannath Temple, Kanke Dam, Rock Garden, Sita Falls, TagoreHills, etc.
