SrI:

Dear Sri Soundararajan Desikan Swamin :

You were kind enough to suggest some alternate methods
to secure the funds for the construction of the Sanitary Facilities
at SriperumbhUthUr . Sri Manoram Chaitanya dasa has provided
below the difficulties that he has experienced and the VIEWS OF
THE Temple officals  in following this route .

These problems on ground necessitate us to follow the private
funding and maintenance as a preferrable route for this project .

Our sincere thanks are to you for suggesting these approaches .
During the coming week , there will be intense activity to push
this project thru by Sri Manoram Chaitanya Dasa and his team
at SriperumbhUthur . We seek your blessings as one who has
taken on many such kaimkaryams including the Mahaa Mantapam
construction at Thiruvaheendhrapuram .

Daasan , Sadagopan

The Input from Sri Manoram Chaitanya  Dasa
***********************************************
Dear Sri Soundarajan Prabhu,

(1) The Tamilnadu Tourism Dept sanctioned 4.5 lakhs for this project last
year
 but there has not been an intimation of the funds dispatched from the lower
 level offices until date. The Temple  Executive officer tried corresponding
 with the office but the exercise was of no avail. He told me that he would
 not be able to pressurize the Government Officials. Executive Officer also
 mentioned that there could be a change after the elections and the results
 can be more negative.

 (2)The land allocated belongs to the temple. The local Panchayat unions are
 famous for high profile corruptions. I have a list of stories on them
 revealed by the locals and temple sub officials about their atrocities in
 Sriperumbuttur. These corrupt ways impede the good causes and hence we are
 pushed to a corner.

(3) The temple priests also told me that even if the money comes from the
Govt.
 the local politicians have a hand in the tenders allocated for the toilet
 construction and the same is allocated to their kith and kin from the local
 political  management. Only 50% of the funds are normally used and the rest
 go into their pockets.

 (4)Further, the construction jobs are of extremely low quality.  It is very
 rare that a pay and use public toilet is constructed by the panchayat or
 Govt. as I understand the conditions and maintenance of the toilets is
 worse.

(5) The temple executive officer and the local priests are enthusiastic and
 excited about this project. They are literally pushing me almost everyday.

 (6)The local Sriperumbuttur devotees say that we should be supervising the
 maintenance of the new toilets after its construction as the temple or the
 local people will surely not maintain the cleanliness and required
 standards.  Hence the investment on the construction of the toilets would
 certainly go to waste.

 I will sincerely try approaching the Govt. Officers. I will also explain
the  prevailing corrupt situation and I am quite sure they can do nothing
about
 improving the local situation as it is out of their purview.

 Prabhuji,I am presenting the ground realities.

 Dasanu dasan,

 Manoram.
