TTD considers corpus fund to manage temples
The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) is considering creating a corpus fund to better manage the temples under its administration. The move aims to ensure steady financial support for maintenance, development, and daily operations of all affiliated and local temples.
TTD Executive Officer Anil Kumar Singhal recently reviewed the annual income and expenses collected through the ‘hundi’ offerings of these temples. He said proper planning and management of funds are needed to maintain the sanctity and smooth functioning of temples across the region.
The corpus fund would provide a stable financial base, reducing dependence on fluctuating daily offerings. It could also be used for renovation, staff salaries, and welfare activities for devotees and temple employees.
Singhal emphasized that TTD is committed to transparency and accountability in handling temple funds. He urged local temple authorities to cooperate in planning and suggested that the fund would help preserve religious and cultural heritage for future generations.
