It is a centrally sponsored scheme launched during 11th FYP; it is a revamped version of erstwhile Centrally Sponsored Scheme - “Assistance for the Development of National Parks and Sanctuaries”.

  • Under IDWH, the financial assistance is provided to State/UT Governments for protection and conservation of wildlife and its habitats in Protected Areas (PAs) as well as outside PAs and also for the recovery programmes of the critically endangered species.
