Retired officials dominate the competitive race for Ram Mandir CEO

Over one thousand candidates have eagerly submitted applications for the Chief Executive Officer position at the Ram Mandir. Former bureaucrats currently lead this highly competitive race. Applications flooded the selection panel inbox within just one day of announcing the recruitment drive. Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra formed a special three-member committee to find a reliable administrator. This official will handle daily temple operations, manage finances, and oversee public relations.

Surging Interest Requires Additional Help

Response numbers grew so quickly that the selection panel requires extra staff. Committee members decided to hire a dedicated secretary just to sort the incoming emails. They expect thousands of submissions before the July 18 deadline. This overwhelming interest reflects the profound spiritual gravity established since the temple's historic consecration in early 2024. Panel members plan to meet on July 19 to review candidates and schedule initial interviews. They will likely choose an experienced retired officer as their sorting secretary.

Notable Figures Enter Competition

Former IPS officer Amitabh Thakur is one prominent name seeking the prestigious job. He stated that his background matches the trust guidelines perfectly. Thakur previously faced legal troubles, including an arrest last year related to property fraud allegations.

Candidates must meet specific religious and professional requirements to qualify. They need to be practicing Hindus with deep devotion to Lord Ram. Eligible applicants should fall strictly between 50 and 70 years old. They must possess at least two decades of high-level administrative experience and agree to reside permanently in Ayodhya. Panel members want someone highly skilled in general management.

Final Selection Process Begins Soon

Selected individuals will face detailed interviews with the committee. The panel must ultimately recommend exactly three names to the main trust board. A final trust meeting on July 22 will review this transparent search process.
