Tirumala tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), the custodian of the world’s richest Hindu temple—Sri venkateswara swamy temple in Tirupati—has once again received a generous donation. On Thursday, an educational institution, represented by businessman B. ravi Kumar, contributed 1.11 crore to the Sri Venkateswara Pranadana Trust, a charitable arm of TTD.

This donation not only reflects devotion but also strengthens the mission of serving underprivileged patients battling life-threatening diseases.


 1. A Whopping Rs 1.11 Crore Donation

Businessman B. ravi Kumar handed over a demand draft of ₹1.11 crore to TTD Chairman B.R. Naidu at his camp office in Tirumala. The contribution was made on behalf of an educational institution, marking a significant gesture of faith and philanthropy.


 2. The Beneficiary: Sri Venkateswara Pranadana Trust

The SV Pranadana Trust, one of the charitable wings of ttd, focuses on healthcare support. It provides free medical treatment to poor patients suffering from:

  • Heart diseases
  • Neurological disorders
  • Cancer
  • Chronic renal failure
  • Hemophilia
  • Thalassemia

By channeling donations into life-saving treatments, the trust ensures that patients who cannot afford expensive medical care still get a chance at recovery.


3. Free Treatment for the Needy

What makes this initiative remarkable is its commitment to inclusivity. The treatments funded by the trust are often high-cost procedures that many poor families cannot even dream of affording. From open-heart surgeries to oncology care, the trust covers a wide spectrum of diseases, giving patients a new lease of life.


 4. Encouraging Medical Research

Beyond treatment, the sv Pranadana Trust also supports research initiatives. It funds studies and programs aimed at finding better cures and management options for chronic illnesses like thalassemia and renal failure. This vision ensures that the trust is not only addressing present challenges but also investing in the future of healthcare.


 5. The Role of ttd in Social Service

While ttd is globally renowned for managing the Sri venkateswara swamy Temple, it also plays a pivotal role in social welfare projects. From education and food distribution (Annadanam) to medical charities and infrastructure development, ttd channels the devotion of millions into tangible acts of service. The Pranadana Trust is one shining example of this mission.


 6. devotion Meets Philanthropy

Donations like this highlight how faith and social responsibility can go hand in hand. For devotees, contributing to ttd is not just about religious offerings but also about supporting community welfare. The act of giving, as demonstrated by ravi Kumar’s contribution, reinforces the belief that spirituality is most powerful when it uplifts humanity.


 7. Why This Matters

In an era where medical expenses are skyrocketing, such donations can literally save lives. They also inspire other devotees and institutions to step forward, ensuring that the trust continues to grow stronger in its service mission. Every contribution—big or small—helps transform countless lives.


 Final Thoughts

The rs 1.11 crore donation by businessman ravi Kumar to TTD’s SV Pranadana Trust is more than just a financial gift—it’s a testament to the spirit of giving, compassion, and service. By supporting life-saving treatments and medical research, such acts of generosity ensure that Sri Venkateswara’s blessings reach those who need them the most.

In the end, it proves that true devotion is not just in prayer but also in the act of uplifting humanity.
