Ayodhya Donation Probe: Nripendra Misra Demands Full Transparency As SIT Investigation Intensifies

In this India First special, Nripendra Mishra, chairman of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple Construction Committee and former principal secretary to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, responds to serious allegations of donation mishandling at the Ayodhya Ram Temple. Mishra calls the controversy deeply painful, saying it has shaken the faith of millions of devotees who contributed to the temple’s construction from nearly four lakh villages. He stresses that the SIT investigation must bring out the full facts, ensure accountability, and restore public confidence. Mishra also outlines reforms, including a formal administrative structure, regular work audits, stronger vigilance, better CCTV monitoring, transparent accounting, and improved valuation of valuables donated by devotees. The discussion examines how informal trust-based systems may have failed and why professional donation management is now essential to protect faith, transparency, and the sanctity of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi.
