When callers Smt Aparna, Sri Ramprasad from Hyderabad, Sri Janardhan Reddy from Nandyal, Smt Saroja from Kurnool said that online bookings in Srivari Seva, whenever the quota is released, are getting completed within two to three minutes and consider off-line system also. Answering the callers, the EO said, Online system has been introduced to enhance transparency in Srivari Seva. "Srivari Seva was commenced by TTD over two decades ago with a noble aim to render free services to pilgrims with fellow pilgrims who registered as volunteers. But due to increase in demand for Srivari Seva, some miscreants started collecting money from sevaks and booking them seva offline. To curb this practice even in a voluntary service area like Srivari Seva, the online system was introduced.

 

The EO also said, the online application in Srivari Seva is cent percent genuine and nobody can hack it and book sevaks illegally. He also said he will instruct the employees to behave with Srivari Sevaks with poise and dignity who come from far off places to render services to pilgrims out of dedication and devotion.

When Sri Sudarshan from Hyderabad asked EO to resume devotional movies on Sundays in SVBC, the EO said, movies shall be watched in any other channels or in youtube also. But now TTD has redefined the SVBC in such a way that the experts are giving pravachanams from epics like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhagavat and other puranas which won the hearts of millions and millions of Srivari devotees across the globe increasing the viewership in an incredible way.
