Similary it's sources of expenditure includes salary, allowance, leave & graduity, TADA, dress as well as office operating and service expenses along with capital expenses.
After the close investigation, I found Chandragadi sanitary community is able to collect enough income from the above mentioned sources. Infact it is very much essential to know what are and how much the income & expenditure is.

In the beginning, this project had just extended 36kms of pipeline of water supply. Later, in 2058 B.S. Japanese GVT had conducted filter treatment liant and reservoir tank and extended the pipe line to 44kms. In accordance with the decentralization policy of GVT. Its management was handed over to local body in 2058, under the leadership of Lekhnath Niroula with 11 members committee for three years. Currently it is under the leadership of Santosh Pokhrel with 13 members body. After handing over the community the project had extended the pipe line up to 75 kms and its management is effective.

Currently the total no of taps is 2032 and thousands of people are being beneficiated. It has also been a part in social works. It has been providing public taps in different junction and public places with almost 13 taps. This community also had constructed a shuttle house and meat sale stall in year 2061 for providing fresh and healthy meat and maintain and manage cleanliness around Chandragadi area.
