The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has taken an important step by appointing Air Marshal Jeetendra Mishra (Retd.) as its first Chief Executive Officer. This move comes as the trust works to build a stronger administrative setup for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. The decision reflects efforts to manage the temple’s growing responsibilities with greater efficiency and professionalism.
Air Marshal Mishra brings years of disciplined service from the Indian Air Force to this new role. His appointment signals the trust’s focus on experienced leadership at a time when public attention on the temple remains high. By choosing a retired senior officer, the trust aims to ensure smooth day-to-day management and better coordination among various teams.
The appointment also follows recent concerns about the handling of donations at the temple. Reports of alleged theft have prompted the trust to review its systems and introduce clearer oversight. The new CEO is expected to help address these issues by improving processes and maintaining public trust in how funds are managed.
With the temple drawing visitors from across the country and abroad, long-term planning has become essential. The trust’s decision to create the post of CEO shows its readiness to handle both spiritual and practical matters with care. This leadership change is likely to shape how the temple’s affairs are run in the years ahead.
