The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust in Ayodhya has appointed retired Air Marshal Jeetendra Mishra as its new CEO, with three new trustees also inducted.
The new CEO is expected to take charge of key administrative responsibilities at the Ram Temple shortly.
The appointment was finalised at an important trust meeting held on Wednesday, where the selection of Mishra was discussed and approved.
Three New Trustees Inducted
Ahead of the CEO announcement, three new members were appointed to the trust. They are Madan Mohan Pandey from Ayodhya, Mahesh Bhagchandka from Delhi and Nirmala Yadav from Shikohabad.
The vacancies arose following the resignations of Champat Rai and Anil Mishra and the death of Vimlendra Mohan. Bhagchandka is related to former RSS leader Ashok Singhal, while Pandey has previously represented the temple side as a lawyer in the High Court.
The three newly appointed trustees joined the trust meeting online.
5,585 Applications Received for CEO Post
The CEO appointment followed a selection process that attracted 5,585 applications from across the country.
A screening committee headed by retired Justice Pramod Kohli interviewed 16 candidates before placing the final three names in a sealed cover before the trust chairman. Mishra's name was ultimately approved.
Trust Rules Set for First Major Amendment
The meeting also considered amendments to the trust deed, marking the first such major change since the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust was established on February 5, 2020.
The appointment of a full-time CEO comes as the Ram Temple administration expands and the trust continues to handle growing operational responsibilities in Ayodhya.
