The study reveals that the major land
use in the Ramnagar town area is built-up area. During the last
two decades the area under built-up land has been increased by
8.88% (2.83 km2) due to construction of new buildings on
agricultural and vegetation lands while the area under vegetation
land is decreased by 9.41% (3 km2) due to deforestation
activities by which the vegetation land is converted into agricultural
and built-up land.
