Ayodhya Ram Temple Trust Appoints CEO Amid Administrative Overhaul and Donation Theft Allegations
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, which manages the Ayodhya Ram Temple, is undergoing significant administrative changes following allegations of donation theft. The Trust has accepted resignations of key officials and decided to appoint a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to enhance professional management, transparency, and financial oversight. Established in 2020 after the Supreme Court's 2019 Ayodhya verdict, the Trust operates uniquely as a public religious body formed by executive action rather than state legislation, differing from other major temple boards in India.
