TTD likely to get land in Seychelles – The Hindu

The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) is likely to get land property in Victoria, the capital of Seychelles, if the proposal received to this effect materialises.

Business Network Cabinet (BNC) group Vice-President and TTD board member S. Shankar recently met a group of business leaders and NRIs at Chennai along with Tirupati MP M. Gurumoorthy, seeking their support for the development of Tirupati and TTD.

Ramakrishna Pillai, an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) settled at Seychelles, reportedly agreed to donate his four acres of land worth 5 crore in Victoria city to the TTD for building a temple for Sri Venkateswara.

At a meeting held in Tirupati on Sunday, TTD Additional Executive Officer A.V. Dharma Reddy appreciated Mr. Pillai for his generous offer and promised to get back after taking the boards approval as well as referring to the land procurement policies in Seychelles. This is the first land donation proposal coming to us from abroad, he said.
