According to officials, the sanctuary will span 258.64 square kilometres of reserved forest area falling under the North Sagar forest division, covering tehsils Banda and Shahgarh. The state government issued a formal notification for the sanctuary’s creation on Friday.

This will strengthen the ecosystem as well as promote tourism and create employment opportunities for the local people,” he said.

Apart from its environmental benefits, the naming of the sanctuary in honour of Dr. Ambedkar is being seen as a tribute to his legacy, linking ecological preservation with social respect and inclusion. The sanctuary is expected to enhance biodiversity conservation in the Sagar region and attract eco-tourism, thereby bringing developmental opportunities to the local communities.
