If we compare year wise revenue collection of the the Eco-Park, then 2008-09 fiscal year is the highest for earning revenue. Because of that in the Eco-Park, develppment activities are undertaken through the support of GOB projects. At the very begining, some structural works had been done for making the park lucreative to the visitors. As a result number of visitors are less in the begining fiscal years. But in coming fiscal years number of visitors will increase remarkably and then revenue will collect more and more.
