Yesterday marks an extremely proud moment for us at Temple Connect and the Welingkar Institute of Management as we celebrate the launch of the first batch of the Post Graduate Diploma in Temple Management. This groundbreaking initiative took place in the esteemed presence of some of the most respected figures in education and temple administration.

Present at the launch were Anil Sahastrabuddhe ji, Chairman of the National Educational Technology Forum (NETF), Chairman of EC National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), and Chairman of NBA; Adv SK Jain, Chairman of S.P. Mandali; Dr. Suresh Haware, Ex-Chairman of Shirdi Sansthan; Prof. Uday Salunkhe ji; and Prof. Pednekar, Ex-VC of Mumbai University. It was an honor to stand alongside these distinguished leaders and unveil a program that promises to revolutionize temple management.

This course isn’t just an academic program; it’s a vision realized. We’re setting new standards for how temples are managed, blending traditional values with modern management techniques. It’s about time we had a structured approach to managing our spiritual heritage, and this diploma is a significant step in that direction.

The event also saw the release of the Temple Management Special Edition Book, a comprehensive guide that will serve as an essential resource for students and practitioners alike. This book encapsulates the essence of what we aim to teach: efficient, ethical, and effective management of temples.

At Temple Connect, our mission has always been to bridge devotion with contemporary management practices. This course and the accompanying book are testimonies to our commitment. We’re not just managing temples; we’re preserving legacies and enhancing the spiritual experience for devotees.

I invite all those passionate about our rich temple heritage to join this transformative journey. Let’s lead with innovation, integrity, and a deep respect for our traditions.
