The Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust, which manages the Ram temple in Ayodhya, has invited applications for its first chief executive officer position. The trust is seeking a professional to oversee and enhance the management of the temple's operations. Candidates must submit applications by July 18.
According to the job requirements, applicants must be a "practising Hindu" and a "Ram bhakt" (devotee of Ram). This represents the first time the trust has formally recruited a CEO for the prominent religious institution.
The recruitment initiative takes place amid an ongoing investigation by the Supreme Court into allegations of donation theft at the temple. Recent reports have referenced misappropriation of funds and theft by staff involved in cash-counting operations at the temple. The Supreme Court has sought a report from the Uttar Pradesh government's Special Investigation Team and the temple trust regarding these allegations.
The decision to appoint a professional CEO appears directly connected to these concerns about temple management and financial oversight, suggesting the trust aims to strengthen administrative controls and governance of the institution.
