Jaipal Singh died on 20 March 1970 in Delhi. At that time, foundation of a sports stadium was being laid in Ranchi City by the District Administration of Ranchi. Birsa Seva Dal submitted a proposal to the District Administration to honour Late Jaipal Singh by naming the new upcoming stadium as 'Jaipal Singh Stadium'. This was accepted and the Stadium was named 'Jaipal Singh Stadium'. Recently, the State Government of Jharkhand has named the grand games complex and games village built at Ranchi for the next National Games as 'Jaipal Singh Munda Games Complex'.
