KURU:

1984: Kuru Land was purchased by Fr. Robert Abele. June 8, 1984: Kuru was erected as the independent Parish

Kuru mission lies about 60 kilometers north of Ranchi on the Ranchi-Raigarh highway. The Kuru mission was started in 1984 without any residence. The pioneer Pallottine Missionary, Rev. Fr. Robert Abele stayed with the Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo and began this mission.

People live in the far villages. Our parish has 12 villages spread around Kuru. Kuru has a mixed group of people. It is inhabited by Christians, Muslims, nature worshipers etc. and of course dominated by the Hindus.

The main occupation of the place is agriculture. The soil is fertile and the climate is good. But life of the farmers depends on the monsoon.

Kuru area is affected very badly by the Naxalites; a group of anti-government ideology claiming to be fighting against the land lords and corrupt politicians of the society. However, Naxalism has become constant threat to the development and also to the safety of the people to move about freely specially at night. Therefore the growth is very slow.
