The development assumes significance as the state assembly recently passed a unanimous resolution to allow devotees to contribute in cash or kind for the ambitious Jagannath heritage corridor project around the temple.
BHUBANESWAR: The Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) in Puri has decided to float an ambitious donation plan in May to shore up the shrine’s revenue. The SJTA has set a target to raise the temple’s corpus fund to Rs 1,000 crore by 2023 Rath Yatra (June or July) from the existing Rs 650 crore.
“We are working on the big plan to encourage devotees to donate to the temple. Donation boxes would be installed at the airport, railway station, educational institutions and companies. Currently, we receive around Rs 12 crore donation annually from the temple hundi (donation box),” SJTA’s chief administrator Krishan Kumar said after holding a preparatory meeting to finalize the temple budget for 2021-22.
