‘Are you a staunch Hindu, do you eat non-veg food?’ Ram Temple CEO candidates asked to fill Google form
The 18 candidates who were shortlisted from a pool of 5,200 applicants were also asked about their work experience and their families.
The Ram Temple CEO candidates were asked a variety of questions, ranging from their religious practices and habits to their vision for the temple project. The 18 candidates, shortlisted from an initial list of 5,200 applicants, were required to fill a 34-point Google form prior to their interviews held in Ayodhya. The form probed their work experience, leadership abilities, and religious-social engagements.
The candidates were also questioned about their adherence to religious practices like keeping shikha (braids), wearing a janeu (sacred thread), and dietary habits such as consuming non-vegetarian food. The process aimed to assess the candidates' suitability for the role of CEO based on their administrative skills, devotion, temperament, and the temple's vision.
The selection panel, comprising former Supreme Court judge Justice Pramod Kohli, Lt Gen Vishnukant Chaturvedi (retd), and Suresh Haware, will shortlist three names and present them to the Trust by September 2. The final decision will be made by the Trust's executive committee on September 2, with the new CEO overseeing the temple's financial management, administrative functions, security coordination, and religious rituals.
