Ram Temple trust invites applications for first CEO, July 18 deadline set
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust invited applications for the post of the first Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Interested candidates can submit their applications until 4 pm on July 18.
The appointment process comes amid recent allegations of financial irregularities involving temple funds and valuables. Ram Temple Construction Committee Chairman Nripendra Mishra said the trust will determine the CEO's powers and responsibilities, adding that the key role of the officer will be to uphold devotees' faith in the trust.
Earlier this month, the trust constituted a three-member selection panel comprising retired Supreme Court judge Justice Pramod Kohli, retired Lieutenant General Vishnukant Chaturvedi and former NIT Raipur Chairperson Suresh Haware to evaluate applications and recommend suitable candidates.
Mishra said he is not a member of the selection panel and will decide whether to attend the trust's meeting scheduled for July 22 after reviewing its agenda. He also clarified that members of the temple construction committee are ex officio members of the trust and do not have voting rights.
