The Sandur Administration Report for the year 1943-44 (enclosed at ANNEXURE-R-2 to this Report) states that in the erstwhile Sandur State out of the total forest area of 75619 acres an area of 70,000 acres was reserved forest (State Forest) while the remaining 5,619 acres was village forest.

Accordingly, after survey, 2395.40 acres of forest land in RM Block in Ramgarh area (along with 1656 acres in SM Block) was handed over by the ex-Ruler of Sandur and taken over on 27.9.1980 by the State Government.
