The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple Trust convened a significant meeting in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, to select a new General Secretary, fill three vacant positions, and consider the appointment of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO). However, due to an overwhelming number of applications for the CEO role, a decision is unlikely at this time. The Trust had called for applications for the CEO position until July 18, with a substantial number of submissions received.
The selection process for the CEO position is in its initial phase, with the screening of applications currently ongoing by the selection committee. Reports suggest a high number of applications, ranging from 2,500 to 5,500, though official figures have not been disclosed. The panel will assess candidates based on their profiles, shortlist potential candidates for interviews, and finalize three prospective names. The meeting is also expected to address the appointment of a new general secretary and filling the three Trust vacancies.
Following the resignations of the General Secretary Champat Rai and trustee Anil Mishra, along with the passing of trustee Bimlendra Mohan Pratap Mishra, the Trust encountered three vacancies. The meeting aims to announce new appointments for these positions, with the possibility of Krishna Mohan, the interim general secretary, being promoted to a permanent role. This meeting holds significance for the Trust’s future operations and the anticipated appointment of a CEO, a first in its history, who will oversee daily temple activities and staff management.
