Abstract:	"The main objective of this paper is to examine the consequences of the Hardin(1968)-Olson(1971) type of State property as a form of management of commons with specific reference to the history of forest resources and forest dwellers of the Rampa country in the state of Andhra in India. The second part of the paper traces the evolution of state property in forests since the British Intervention in India. Particular attention is paid to the developments in the Madras Presidency which forms a substantial part of the present South India. The third part analyses the changes in the Rampa country since the British intervention. The last part examines the present state of forests, the environment and the people dependent on them."
