The Ram temple trust on Monday invited applications for the post of its first chief executive officer (CEO), listing various eligibility conditions, including that the candidates have to be practising Hindus with preference to ‘Ram bhakt’ from Vaishnavite tradition.
According to the notification issued by the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, applicants must be aged between 50 and 70 years and have at least 20 years’ managerial experience in a large public organisation, institution, government department or company.
The trust has set 4 pm on July 18 as the deadline for submission of names.
The appointment assumes significance as it comes in the wake of the alleged embezzlement of temple donations that prompted the trust to introduce the post as part of measures aimed at strengthening its administrative and financial management.
The posting will be in Ayodhya, while salary and other service benefits will be decided through mutual discussion, according to the details shared by the trust on X. The appointment will be initially for three years, with the possibility of extension based on satisfactory performance.
The trust has prescribed a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree from a recognised university, and has asked for experience in overseeing areas such as administration, finance and accounts.
