Chandrababu Naidu announced plans to construct 5,000 temples dedicated to Lord Venkateswara worldwide, with sizable Hindu populations, including in Mauritius and New Zealand. The government is also working on renovating old temples and integrating TTD-linked hospitals like SVIMS, BIRRD, Ruia, and a children's hospital. The TTD's education system will be restructured to improve students' employment prospects, and the Tirumala region will pursue a net-zero model with solar, wind, and zero-waste practices. The Chief Minister emphasized the need to preserve Tirumala's spiritual and cultural legacy for future generations.",
