Social Audit of Temples Build Under Srivani Trust - TTD Eo

TTD EO Sri.AV Dharma Reddy on Thursday said that a social audit was conducted in the temples built in some districts recently with the funds of Sri Venkateswara Alaya Nirmana Trust (Srivani) of TTD and the overwhelming happiness has been witnessed among the villagers. 

The EO conducted a review of the construction of temples at the TTD administration building in Tirupati on Thursday.

On this occasion, the EO said that the construction of 320 temples in the areas of fishermen, tribals and backward classes has been completed under the auspices of Samarasatha Seva Foundation through Srivani Trust.  He said that about Rs.26 crores have been spent on this.  He said the social audit was done by leading Chartered Accountant firms registered with The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, a statutory system established by the Government of India.

He said that these organizations have prepared a questionnaire with 50 questions and collected opinions from the people of the surrounding areas of all the temples.  After examining the opinions of the people, it was explained that the construction of the temples made them happy and that they were contributing to the propagation of Hindu Dharma by regularly going to the temples, performing pujas, bhajans and festivals.  The villagers expressed their views that after the construction of the temples in the respective villages, there was a sense of divinity.  He said that it is clear that conversions have almost stopped in those areas.

Propagation of Hindu Dharma through the construction of temples in fishing, tribal and backward areas is a milestone in the history of TTD.
