The availability of budget from State Govt. and
centrally sponsored scheme has been as under
for the last 5 years excluding salary of staff:
Year State Budget CSS Total
2001-02 8.24 1.71 9.95
2002-03 0.69 5.60 6.29
2003-04 0.64 12.05 12.69
2004-05 25.16 12.13 37.29
2005-06 18.28 22.85 41.13
In addition to the above the State Govt. spends 7
to 8 lakh per year on salaries and wages of the
PA staff. The centrally sponsored scheme has
been very helpful for the NP due to which the
water supply to the water body could be restored,
deepening of lake at desired places could be
done,fencing is being repaired and interpretive
facilities could be made. Rs. 68.27 lakhs has
been sanctioned for 2006-07 under CSS
including 7.335 lakhs of previous year unspent
balance out of which 42.50 has been released in
1 st installment and the total amount has been
released to field.
Some major amount of CSS remained unspent
during 2003-04. Rs. 20 lakhs were sanctioned for
setting up of a Biodiversity Conservation Centre
out of which only 1.5 lakhs were spent during
that year on purchase of bricks and sand. The
scheme has now reportedly been dropped and
bricks etc. utilized elsewhere.Rs.20 .25 lacs
sanctioned in 2005-06 for raising of fence has
also not been fully utilized as 7.335 lakh is
unspent which is being utilized this year. The
utilization of central funds has otherwise been
usefully done. Fund release has by and large
been done timely by central and State Govts.
