The tiger reserves are constituted on a core\/buffer strategy.<\/li>\n<li>Around the 1970s the tiger count was only one thousand and two hundred, but according to the recent census, it has increased to three thousand. In fact, there has been a <strong>thirty per cent rise<\/strong> in the population in the last eight years.<\/li>\n<li>The Project Tiger has grown to more than 50 reserves amounting to almost 2.2% of the country\u2019s geographical area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Due to following reasons \u2018Project Tiger\u2019 requires a reboot<strong>:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Managing the tiger population, giving them safe habitat, avoiding human-tiger conflicts are some of the issues that the project has faced.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Politicalised Tiger Task Force<\/strong> leading to the formation of the massive NTCA in 2005.
