A staggering Rs 2,100 crore collected for Ram Mandir in nationwide drive





So far, Rs 2,100 crore have been recovered from public donation towards the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, as per the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. 

This crowd-sourced fund, from the 44-day donation drive, launched by Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), is far bigger than was estimated. 

The collection drive concluded on Saturday. 

The estimate of the trust was it would receive around Rs 1,100 crores towards the building of the Ram Temple complex. 

Treasurer of the Teerth Kshetra Trust Govind Dev Giri said, “The fund-raising campaign has ended with generous contributions from crosssections of people, including residents of far-flung villages of India, blurring religious barriers. Total donations received has crossed Rs 2,100 crore on Saturday evening.”

According to Giri, the construction cost of the temple at Rs 300-Rs 400 crores and Rs 1,100 crore will be dedicated to building the entire complex on Ramjanmabhoomi.

Nearly 1.50 lakh VHP activists have been collecting funds under the ‘Shri Ram Mandir Nidhi Samarpan’ drive. Thirty-seven activists have been deputed to deposit the donations in the three nationalised bank accounts of the trust.

The Ram temple trust has opened accounts in the State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank and the Bank of Baroda. 

The downside of this campaign has been how VHP and Bajrang Dal activists have been brutally attacked and even killed for carrying out this campaign in some part of the country.
