The Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust (SSSCT) is a unique institution.

Sri Sathya Sai Mission

The above chart is included to understand the inter-relationship between different units and is not meant to indicate lines of authority or hierarchy.

There are many trusts functioning under the name of ‘Sri Sathya Sai Trust (Name of the state)’. In six of these Trusts functioning in the states of Bihar, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Haryana & Chandigarh, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, the Central Trust has powers to nominate the trustees. In all the other State Trusts, new trustees are appointed by the existing trustees. There are some Sai Trusts and Foundations functioning overseas which are independent bodies and the Central Trust has no legal connection with them though all are connected through the Divine inspiration of Bhagavan. All contributions to the Central Trust are voluntary from individuals who witness Bhagavan’s various projects being executed effi ciently, their positive impact on benefi ciaries and their providing relief to a large number of people. Further details and procedures could be found in the link - http://media.radiosai.org/journals/vol_14/01APR16/An-Important-Communication-from-Prof-G-Venkataraman.htm

Compliance

Our books of accounts are regularly audited by an eminent fi rm of auditors.Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust has consistently adhered to procedures of regulatory compliance required by various departments of the government. The Trust fi les income tax returns every year and responds promptly to any follow-up queries by the Income Tax Department. Reports required under Foreign Contribution Regulation Act,1976 are regularly submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India. The Trust has been fi ling a copy of the annual fi nancial statements along with this statement giving details of additions / deletions to the assets of the Trust, with the Assistant Commissioner of Endowments, Anantapur every year as per subsection 10 of section 43 of the Andhra Pradesh Catholic and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987. The Trust has been prompt and timely in its history of compliance.

Social Impact

Till last year the value of the drinking water projects executed by the Central Trust and transferred to the Government and public so far, is around Rs.500 Crore.This year, the Central Trust completed and handed over extension of water supply project covering an additional 138 habitations at a cost of Rs 75 Crores.

The Central Trust as also been offering free medical care to the needy through two General Hospitals, two Super Speciality Hospitals and as part of outreach program operates two Mobile Hospitals. The two Super Speciality Hospitals alone have provided totally free of cost services to the needy, (computed at CGHS rates) equivalent to Rs 77 Crores and during the last 5 years it is equivalent to Rs 374 Crores. If the treatment was provided by corporate hospitals of comparable level of sophisticated equipment and medical services provided by these two Super Speciality Hospitals, the savings would be much higher than these fi gures.

Similarly the Central Trust runs educational institutions from primary and secondary levels to undergraduate and post graduate courses and PhD degrees, providing contemporary quality academic programs with value orientation. This again is totally free to the students. The total number of students studying in all these institutions together was 3,796 (2,416 in Schools and 1,380 in University).
