Budget for Kistwan NP was provided by State
Govt. under different heads of Plan and Non Plan

The management effectiveness has been
evaluated on the basis of total budget allotted
from different sources. In the State budget bulk
of allotment in non-plan is against salaries and
wages of the Staff and very little for habitat
improvement antipoaching and other
conservation activities. The CSS budget, though
less in quantity but caters for important activities
related to habitat management awareness,
census, infrastructure development etc. Budget
is not adequate either from State or under CSS
and the release by State Govt. is also not timely.
The funds under CSS were mostly utilized for
infrastructure development, habitat improvement,
census, staff amenities, publicity etc.
