| It is estimated that the implementation of all the Board’s plans will require an outlay of Rs 1000 million or Rs 100 crores. The Shrine Board is dependent on donations and offerings. A special drive is required to raise the large amount required for translating the above vision into reality. Special donation schemes are accordingly being launched for this purpose.
