Tirumala Tirupati proposes Renigunta Airport renaming
Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) is pushing to rename Renigunta Airport as Sri Venkateswara International Airport, hoping to give the place a more spiritual vibe and make visits feel special for pilgrims.
This is just one part of TTD's bigger plan to upgrade facilities and modernize Tirupati.
New Savitri temple in Bengaluru
TTD isn't stopping at the airport. They're also planning a new Savitri temple in Bengaluru (waiting on land approval), setting up a CSIR lab in Tirupati for better temple offerings, and rolling out 100 electric buses—with support from Union Minister Kumara Swamy—to improve transport for visitors.
Sri Venkateswara College in Delhi
On top of infrastructure, TTD is updating the historic Sri Venkateswara College in Delhi, working on fair solutions for contract lecturers, and launching programs focused on priesthood training, ethics for students, and women's empowerment.
It's all about supporting education and giving back to the community.
