Bengaluru : The state government has ordered to stop funds releasing to Sri Rama Vidya Kendra Kalladka and Sri Devi Vidya Kendra Punacha being run by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh leader, Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat, were adopted by Goddess Mookambika temple at Kollur in violation of rules.

Sri Rama Vidya Kendra Kalladka have so far received about three crore rupees from Kollur temple in the form of endowment grants for running them.

It is said, a sum of Rs 2,83,25,424 has been released to these educational institutions from 2007-08 to 2016-17 from the temple. There is no provision in Karnataka Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Act to adopt private educational institutions by temples and maintain them. Therefore, accepting private educational institutions on adoption basis and maintaining and managing them results in unnecessary financial burden on the temple, it added.
