'Now money is being taken from students here' According to Tulsidas Bapu, principal trustee of the ashram, earlier poor, orphans and destitute children were taught free of cost and full arrangements for living and eating were made with kindness.

'We will make a representation to the collector and the charitable commissioner' Ram Narayandas further added that Girish Kotecha was made a trustee without anyone's knowledge of this arbitrary administration of the ashram. All this cannot be tolerated. We will make a written representation to the collector and the charitable commissioner.

They clarified that Girish Kotecha's appointment has been made as per the constitution of the trust and with an official resolution. All this is not sudden but with the approval of 10 to 8 trustees and according to the specific procedure, they have been given a place in the trustee.
