Are we getting the real sandalwood paste as Prasad from temples?

Are we getting real Kumkum as Prasad from temples?

Are we getting real Bhasma (Vibhooti) as Prasad from temples?

Who will ensure that there is a quality control system in Hindu temples to ensure the quality of consumables?

Who will ensure the credibility of suppliers of such supplies?

Only devoted people who understands the significance of ensuring quality of such consumables and related processes can understand , establish and maintain such quality control systems. NOT THE POLITICAL NOMINEES ENTERING TEMPLE ADMINISTRATION ACTIVITIES THROUGH DEVASWAM BOARDS FOR WHICH HR&CE ACT IS PAVING THE WAY.

Many acts from the British period has been scrapped or rewritten now. It is high time to replace HR&CE ACT.

There are plenty of serving and retired 

Scientists, MBAs, CAs, CSs, Lawyers, Engineers, Doctors, Surgeons, Architects, Computer experts, IT experts, AI experts, among devotees who are also well versed in Hindu scriptures and various practices. 

They will be more than happy to offer their knowledgeable services for the welfare of temples and overall society, if given a chance.

Apart from the above, there is a large pool of respected Sanyasins and such resource persons who will be happy to share their knowledge and blessings.

When this is a fact that people with administrative and subject calibre are available in plenty, why should atheists and people with lesser information and knowledge in the relevant topics should be placed to head the temple administration bodies like Devaswam boards...A strange contradiction
