Sharad Pawar), a Book Bank scheme distributing textbooks from 11th standard through graduation, a free 8,000-book public library including a digital library for the visually impaired, and environmental/conservation initiatives. The trust is governed by a Chairman, Treasurer, Executive Officer, and a board of trustees under a codified Temple Act and Service Regulations. Revenue inflows are not publicly disclosed and consist of voluntary donations across multiple channels, fixed-fee pooja and havan bookings (non-refundable), prasad and occasional gold-ornament auction proceeds; with no shares listed, no parent company, and no subsidiaries, the entity is structured purely as a not-for-profit under the Bombay Public Trusts Act.
