Jadugora (also spelt as Jadugoda or Jaduguda) is a census town in the Musabani CD block in the Ghatshila subdivision of the East Singhbhum district in the Indian state of Jharkhand.
==Etymology== The name "Jadugora" or "Jadugoda" has been derived from the word "Jadagoda", which means 'land of elephants' in a local tribal language. It is said that there was a time when this was home to many Asian elephants. But with time as many mines and factories were established, they moved to denser forests due to loss of habitat. There are important elephant corridors nearby Jadugoda.
