Prime Minister Narendra Modi as Elected Chairman of Shree Somnath Trust for Five-Year Term

• In a historic development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been elected as the chairman of the Shree Somnath Trust (SST) for a five-year term, marking a significant departure from the traditional one-year tenure for the trust’s chairman. The decision, approved by the charity commissioner of Gujarat, underscores the importance of continuity and leadership in managing the iconic Somnath temple near Veraval.
• The recent approval of an amendment to the deed of the Shree Somnath Trust by the charity commissioner of Gujarat has paved the way for this landmark decision. Prior to this amendment, the chairman of the trust had served a one-year term.
• At the 122nd meeting of the SST’s board of trustees held at Raj Bhavan in Gandhinagar, Prime Minister Modi, the incumbent chairman, was re-elected to the position for a five-year term.
• This marks a historic moment as it is the first time in the 74-year-long history of the Shree Somnath Trust that a chairman has been elected for a five-year tenure.
