unit is established by TTD at Tirumala. The major activity of this unit is controlling

vector borne diseases like Malaria, Chikun gunya, Dengue etc by controlling

mosquitoes with canalization, fogging, anti-larval measures with MLO and abate

accumulated per year and the same is lifted and transported to the dumping yard

through seven tractors every day. And the garbage is being converted into manure.

5.5.3 Free Food

As the first and foremost basic need of a Human being is food, TTD is providing daily free food to all the devotees visiting Tiruchanur, Tirupati and Tirumala from all over India and abroad without any distinction of caste, creed, religion, race or community. The details of the amenities provided by the TTD in this connection are presented below. ‘Annam Para Brahma Swarupam’, food only can support the body to attain dharma, artha, kama, and moksha. The persons who participate in this sacred activity of Annadanam will get moksha and get first entry in the heaven. Service to humanity is service to God. Serving food to the hungry is equal to effect of performing ritual yagna. Human being can be satisfied only with food but not with gold, dress and other things, as he desires to have them more and more. But, in the case of food a man wholeheartedly says that the food is ‘enough’ for him.

Providing free food is the best activity among all the activities of charity. Tirumala is the greatest among all the places in the universe. Lord Venkateswara is the greatest among all the Gods at all times. Undertaking charitable acts in the greatest place to the devotees of greatest God is the speciality of TTD Nitya Annadanam. It is unity of the three ultimate things. TTD started the activity on 06-04-1985 as a scheme in the name of Sri Venkateswara Nitya Annadanam Endowment Scheme with a view to serve food to 2000 pilgrims per day on free of cost basis. It has grown over the years and later the scheme was transformed into a registered trust in the name of Sri Venkateswara Nitya Annadanam Trust with effect from 1-4-1994. Recently the Trust name is modified as Sri Venkateswara Nitya Anna Prasadam Trust.

TTD served food on a free of cost basis to 6,17,02,000 pilgrims during the financial year of 2012-13 i.e. from the month of April 2012 to March 2013. The average number of pilgrims served per month in the financial year is 51,42,000 numbers and the average number of pilgrims served per day is 1,69,000 numbers. So the statistical data reveals that at present TTD is serving food to about 90,309 numbers, food items to about 78,747numbers and altogether to 1,69,056 pilgrims on an average per day, on free of cost, in all the places at Tirumala, Foot path to Tirumala, Tirupati and Tiruchanur.

The sacred activity is being done continuously for the last 28 years. On completion of 25 years, a silver jubilee function of the Trust was organised by the

171

TTD on 7-7-2010 to commemorate the occasion. TTD provided free food to about 25crores of devotees so far since year 1985. TTD is serving unlimited South Indian meals, free of cost, to all devotees in Tirumala, Tirupati & Tiruchanur and food items at Tirumala.

Totally, an amount of Rs.295,49,71,985 was spent by the TTD for providing free food to the devotees during the past ten years alone from the financial year 2004-05 to 2013-14. Basing on this, the amount of money spent by TTD for the last 28 years towards this sacred activity can be imagined.

TTD provided good amenities for the purpose. The activities are being undertaken in spacious dining halls of pucca buildings. Good tables and chairs are arranged for comfortable seating. A large number of lights and fans are also arranged. Meals are served in stainless steel plates for buffet. The dining halls and premises are kept clean and tidy. Clean water from Mineral plant is being supplied for drinking purpose. The hot, hygienic and tasty food is served to the devotees. The devotees are allowed inside in on orderly manner in a gentle queue system. A divine atmosphere has been maintained and the devotees have been taking food as prasadam with lot of devotion, instead of treating it as mere food.

The activity is being run with the donations from devotees and donors. With a view to continue the scheme forever, TTD deposits all the donations received towards the scheme in Nationalized banks and the interest accrued on it only is being utilised for the activity. As the food is provided on free of cost basis, the

174

amount of interest received on the donations is being treated as income. The Trust is having total corpus amount of Rs.500 crores approximately in the form of fixed deposits in different nationalized banks. But, due to the expansive programmes of the activity, the interest amount is not sufficient to meet the expenditure of the Trust. So, an amount of Rs.28,73,32,049 is the deficit for the activity during the last ten financial years i.e. from the year 2004-05 to 2013-14.

A detailed description of the expenditure and income of Anna Prasadam Trust of TTD is presented below in Table – 5.6.

5.7 General Administration

The General Administration covers the heads of Huzur office, TTD

Transport, Marketing division, Radio & Broadcasting Tirupati and Tirumala.

5.7.1 Transportation

Providing transportation, aid and other related amenities at Tirumala and

Tirupati to the visiting pilgrims is one of the most important functions of the TTD.

T.T.D. Transport was established in the year 1948 with two buses for transporting

the pilgrims, engineering materials, staff transportation, and departmental goods

required for temple activities etc. Subsequently, in the year 1975, approximately 150

buses along with staff were handed over to A.P.S.R.T.C. to operate exclusively for

transporting the pilgrims between Tirumala and Tirupati.

At present TTD Transport is supporting and meeting transport needs of

Devasthanams with a fleet of 432. T.T.D. Transport is providing free transportation

for pilgrims at Tirumala and arranging buses to visit Local Temples in and around

Tirupati at a nominal fare. The activities of TTD Transport are broadly categorized

in to three components i.e. serving the Pilgrims, catering to the needs of various

departments of TTD so as to enable them to serve the pilgrims and to facilitate

mobility of officers of TTD.

5.7.1.1 Services Rendered Directly To Pilgrims

5.7.1.1.1 Free Buses at Tirumala: Free buses are provided at Tirumala connecting

all cottage areas, hotels, canteens, queue complex and bus station from CRO. During

Brahmotsavams and other occasions when there is heavy rush of pilgrims, additional

buses are pressed into service to reduce the interval between trips.

5.7.1.1.2 Free Buses at Tirupati: Free services to pilgrims from Tirupati Railway

station/ Tirupati APSRTC Bus Station to Alipiri.

5.7.1.1.3 Pilgrim Luggage Van: An exclusive van is being operated for carrying the

luggage collected at Alipiri from the pedestrian pilgrims and it is transported to

Tirumala and delivered at Free Luggage Counter at Tirumala. Similarly the luggage

Counter at Alipiri also functions. This is a free service rendered for the convenience

of pedestrian pilgrims from Tirupati to Tirumala and back.
