3. Inputs
3.1 Are personnel well organised and managed with access to adequate resources?
Assessment criteria
Condition Category* (Tick ü) Remarks
Few, if any, personnel explicitly allocated
for PA management.
Poor
Some personnel explicitly allocated for PA
management but not systematically linked
to management objectives.
Fair ü
Some personnel explicitly allocated
towards achievement of specific
management objectives.
Adequate personnel explicitly allocated
towards achievement of specific
management objectives.
Good
Very good
In spite of 40% vacancies in the field staff the
available personnel are well organized and
managed. They have good number of arms but
due to presence of dacoits in ravines, there is
danger of the weapons being snatched by them.
Wireless sets are not in working order. The most
effective staff for patrolling are the boat men who
know every nook and corner of the sanctuary but
maximum vacancies are among them only. They
need more motor boats for effective control.
Other resources like search lights, binoculars,
GPS etc. are available. The closer supervision by
top management of the sanctuary is greatly
lacking. Etawa Range needs more man power
and efforts.

There are 2 Gypsy, one Bolero and 2 motor
cycles, 66 fire arms, 2 GPS, one camera, 4 motor
boats (3 engines), 7 fiber boats, one monoscope,
one binocular, one search light and 14 wireless
sets but out of them wireless sets are out of
order, few boats are old and need replacement,
more motor boats and motor cycles are needed
and fire arms can't be used due to law and order
problem. Buildings are old and need repairs.
Four wheelers need more frequent field
deployment.
