Siddhant, by the IUCN site did you mean the WDPA dataset from protectedplanet.net <https://www.protectedplanet.net/search?country=India&main=country&page=8®ion=Asia+%26+Pacific> ?
Was taking a closer look at that dataset and the polygons don't look accurate at all, many parks are just a very rough blob. Moreover from the terms of use, commercial use is not allowed and thus not compatible for adding to OSM. After some digging, found that the Wildlife Institute of India has a GIS portal with what seems to be fairly accurate polygons. You can browse them here http://210.212.84.122/wii-pan-client/Map.aspx Since it is a dataset created by the central government, i believe this will automatically come under NDSAP and can be used under the terms of GODL <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/India/Data_sources#Usage_Policy>? -- Datameet is a community of Data Science enthusiasts in India.
