Woman professor, Ayodhya lawyer, Delhi businessman: Meet the new Ram Temple trustees

Besides appointing retired Air Marshal Jitendra Mishra as the first Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust on Wednesday inducted three new trustees, including its first woman member.

The appointment of Dr Nirmala Yadav, advocate Madan Mohan Pandey and businessman-social worker Mahesh Bhagchandka is notable not only for broader social inclusion – induction of a woman OBC member – but also for roping in people from different professions and areas of experience in a bid to expand the Trust’s profile and people’s faith in it following the donation theft scandal.
