Kumar Aditya Narayan Singh Deo and his father Maharaj Kumar Rudra Pratap Singh Deo appreciated the name change of the district.

The [[Maharaja of Darbhanga]] used to visit this state to pay respects as the trade route to the east coast ran through the thick jungles of [[Singhbhum]] and safety was guaranteed only to those who were in the good books. The title of Raja was granted to Kharsawan rulers in 1902, beginning with Raja Ram Chandra Singh Deo.
The state had a privy purse of 33,000 Rs. The present head of the royal family is Raja Gopal Narayan Singh Deo.
