3. Inputs<br />

3.1 Are personnel well organised and managed with access to adequate resources?<br />

Assessment criteria<br />

Condition Category* (Tick ü) Remarks<br />

Few, if any, personnel explicitly allocated<br />

for PA management.<br />

Poor<br />

Some personnel explicitly allocated for PA<br />

management but not systematically linked<br />

to management objectives.<br />

Fair ü<br />

Some personnel explicitly allocated<br />

towards achievement of specific<br />

management objectives.<br />

Adequate personnel explicitly allocated<br />

towards achievement of specific<br />

management objectives.<br />

Good<br />

Very good<br />

In the Management Plan, 5 Ranges, 10 Blocks<br />

and 25 beats have proposed against which only<br />

2 Ranges, 2 Blocks and 19 beats are existing.<br />

Out of 46 forest compartments only 33 are in<br />

possession of Park management. Looking at the<br />

difficult terrain, adverse climate and high biotic<br />

pressure the staff strength is poor. Other<br />

resources such as equipment for high altitude<br />

trekking, Arms, camping equipment etc. are also<br />

poor.<br />

3.2 Are resources (vehicle, equipment, building etc.) well organised and managed with access to<br />

adequate resources?<br />

Assessment criteria<br />

Condition Category* (Tick ü) Remarks<br />

Few, if any, resources explicitly allocated<br />

for PA management.<br />

Poor<br />

Some resources explicitly allocated for PA<br />

management but not systematically linked<br />

to management objectives.<br />

Fair ü<br />

Some resources explicitly allocated<br />

towards achievement of specific<br />

management objectives.<br />

Adequate resources explicitly allocated<br />

towards achievement of specific<br />

management objectives.<br />

Good<br />

Very good<br />

There is no road access in the Park and vehicles<br />

are needed only by top management. Equipment<br />

for high altitude tracking and camping are<br />

inadequate and the condition of buildings and<br />

roads specially bridges over fast flowing streams<br />

is very bad and needs immediate attention.<br />

*Score: Poor: 2.5; Fair: 5; Good: 7.5; Very Good: 10<br />
