Baharagora is the entry point of Jharkhand from the two states, namely West Bengal and Orissa. Since it is located at the border, West Bengal is approx 12 km and Orissa is approx 7 km from there. Although the official language of the state is Hindi, the local language in the area is a blend of Bengali and Oriya. The region was a part of erstwhile Gajapati Empire of Orissa. Except some government employees, all localities use either Bengali or Oriya as primary mode of education. In the erstwhile state of Bihar, textbooks were also released in Bengali and Oriya.
