History

Around 1740, Ramgarh was "Jungle District of Ramgarh". With the East India Company acquiring the diwani of Bengal, Bihar and Odisha in 1765, it derived the right to collect revenue from the Ramgarh regime. In 1771, Ramgarh district had a Military Collector whose headquarter was in Chatra. After the Kol uprising in 1831, the British reorganised the administrative structure of the area. Hazaribagh emerged as an administrative centre. Ramgarh became a subdivision of Hazaribagh district in 1991 and was made a district in its won right in 2007.[1][2]

Coal mining

As of 2021, four operational areas of Central Coalfields Limited were located partially in this subdivision: Barka Sayal Area, Argada Area, Kuju Area, and Hazaribagh Area.[8][9][10][11] The Rajrappa Area of CCL is presently wholly in Ramgarh district but an extension is planned into Bokaro district.[12][13]

In Ramgarh district, "Coal mining and coal-dependent industries contribute about 40 per cent of the district’s GDP. Moreover, one-fourth of the households depend directly on the coal industry for income, most of them being informal workers." However, while "overall, coal mining is a profitable industry. But almost 70 per cent of mines of Coal India Limited, India's largest coal producer, are running into losses, raising questions about the future of the coal industry." According to experts, India has to phase out coal-based power plants within the next 25 to 30 years. In Ramgarh district, which is a top coal-producing area, half of the coalmines have shut down/ closed, and among those being operated two-thirds are unprofitable. [14][15]

Industries

Patratu Thermal Power Station at Patratu was commissioned its earlier units in 1966–72. The plant has become old and operates at a derated cpapcity.[16]

Patratu Dam, was built to supply water for the Patratu Thermal Power Station. It has been built across the Nalkarni River, a tributary of the Damodar River and has an 81 sq mi reservoir.[18]
