TTD modifies privileges extended to donors

By Our Special Correspondent

TIRUPATI, JUNE 2. The TTD management has decided to make certain modifications in respect of the privileges being extended to donors who donate Rs.5 lakhs and more towards its various schemes such as Nithya Annadanam, Vanabhivriddhi, Jalanidhi and to the trusts established for the management of its SVIMS and the BIRRD hospitals.

As per the modified terms and conditions, as highlighted in a press release issued by the TTD, the privileges and facilities would be available to the donors only during his/her lifetime in the case of individuals and for only 20 years in the case of joint donors, firms and companies, etc. A passbook also would be issued to the donors for posting of entries every year about the date of the visit of the donor, privileges enjoyed and so on so that it served as a record and avoided confusion.

The facilities and privileges that would be available to the donors under the modified rules are: free accommodation in the ARP counter area or in guest houses for three days in a calendar year or VIP accommodation on payment of rent subject to availability. Darshan for five persons through the Vaikuntam Queue Complex cellar for three days in a calendar year. It need not be three consecutive days, the press note pointed out. One `Duppata' (vasthram) and 10 small laddus will be given to the donor every year. One gold-covered silver medallion carrying the images of the Lord and His consort Padmavatahi on either side, would be given on only one occasion, the press note clarified.
